About this game
Command three wardens on an 8x8 hedgerow field across nine missions and three islands. Beetles, boars, crows and toads telegraph each attack in numbered order; shove, hook and ward to turn those blows onto empty ground, into ponds or onto each other.
How it works
Every hamlet struck costs Hearth, a campaign-wide pool. The Briar Matron roots and sweeps whole lines at half strength, and the Thornhart finale hides behind heartwood totems that only the blight itself can break. Easy, Medium, Hard and Inferno change resets, retries, enemy pairings, elite affixes and boss patterns.
