Terminal Tactics
> SYSTEM: ACTIVE // The Matrix is everywhere.
TERMINAL TACTICS is a tactical turn-based strategy game played
entirely through a Command Line Interface. Every action is a
command typed in a retro-futuristic terminal emulator.
No drag-and-drop. No click-to-move. Just you, your squad,
and a hostile network waiting to be infiltrated.
─── FEATURES ───────────────────────────────────────────
▪ COMMAND-DRIVEN COMBAT — mv, atk, scan, ovw, heal, build.
Every action is a terminal command. Full command reference
available in-game via `help`.
▪ DETERMINISTIC — Zero RNG. Damage is calculated purely from
positioning (front/flank/rear), elevation, and unit abilities.
Every outcome is knowable.
▪ 7 UNIT CLASSES — Knight, Archer, Scout, Medic, Engineer,
Sniper, and Commander — each with unique abilities and
synergies.
▪ FOG OF WAR — Line of sight, vision ranges, and permanent
terrain memory. Scouts are invisible when stealthed.
▪ SUDO ULTIMATES — Root Access Points power game-changing
commands: teleport, full-map reveal, and 200% damage strikes.
▪ SINGLE-PLAYER AI — Practice against 3 difficulty levels
(Easy / Medium / Hard) with a tactical decision engine.
▪ REAL-TIME MULTIPLAYER — Face other operatives in live
PvP matches with turn timers and typing indicators.
▪ KERNEL PANIC EVENTS — Random environmental hazards after
turn 3: SEGFAULT, OVERCLOCK, and REBOOT.
▪ ACHIEVEMENTS — 6 unlockable badges tracking your greatest
tactical victories.
