TACTICAL TURN-BASED AUTO SPORTS
- Fresh blend of tactical RPG, auto battler, and sports genres.
- Build the perfect squad from 15+ recruitable characters and dozens of skills inspired by real-life rugby.
- Rugby knowledge is OPTIONAL. It’s OK, many rugby players don’t know anything about rugby either.
MANAGE A SPORTS CLUB
- Search for club sponsors and fundraise for new equipment.
- You’ll need to recruit a secretary, treasurer, and patron too.
- File paperwork and argue with the bank! The possibilities are endless.
LIVE IN VIRTUAL NEW ZEALAND
- Even if you lose, the story mode continues, just like real-life.
- Explore an authentic 3D recreation of the biggest city in New Zealand!
- Keep your day job, pay the rent, feed your dog, go on dates… but definitely DO NOT fall in love.
