About
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.
Your Cyberdeck Desktop
Unlock apps as the six-act story progresses:
- Scanner — Pick targets on a 3D network map. prep your inventory, take contract missions for bonus creds and encrypted loot.
- Warez — Create your playable decks from your growing collection of cards.

- Workbench & Cyberdeck — Place components, wire PCB traces, and install modules for persistent bonuses; repair gear after failed hacks.

- Terminal — Shell commands, code-cracking puzzles, and a dozen unlockable retro arcade minigames that are playable for bonus creds.
