Terminal Warfare

The Sprawl is calling

The year is 2040. Fifteen years after the AI Wars, the super-intelligence Consensus 0 runs civilization. Cipher, a rogue AI that survived in deep code, recruits you to fight back from the shadows. Your exploit deck is your weapon. Your choices are your code.

Terminal Warfare is a single-player cyberpunk deckbuilding roguelike wrapped in a nostalgic 90s terminal desktop. Browse a 3D network scanner, breach corporate systems in turn-based hack battles, then spend creds and Net Rep (operator XP) on cards, crafted hardware, and permanent skills before the next target.

Turn-Based Hack Combat

Draw each turn based on CPU Cycles, queue up to five cards in your Attack Queue, preview damage/trace/healing in the Execute panel, then resolve the whole sequence at once.

Spend Bandwidth to play exploits while protecting System Integrity and keeping Trace Level below maximum—get detected and the hack is over.

Battle AI defenses with distinct personalities, scaling difficulty, and nearly 300 cards across attacks, defense, viruses, multipliers, synergy chains, and rare zero-days.
