WTF is RED MITTENS?
The short answer is, it's an idea of a forty-something dude (and his ever suffering mate), to create a fun game as his legacy that was easy to get into and wouldn't cost you an arm and a leg...
Now here's the medium answer:
UNITS
These Cats & Dogs come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, with different strengths, weaknesses, and abilities. You use these guys to murder up your opponents guys, and ultimately defeat them!
ITEMS
Your 'Bag of tricks', filled with weapons, spells and all sorts of goodies to beef up your units stats, give them new abilities, and generally just put the smack down on your opponent.
