Mainframe Defenders is a tactical retrofuturistic strategy game set in the “Stargazer” research complex, where a computer virus has taken control of most robotic units. As a commander, it’s up to you to lead a squad of four prototype units in a mission to secure the complex and protect its mainframe from total destruction.
Gameplay
Guide your squad of prototypes through intense, turn-based battles to reclaim control of the Stargazer complex. Navigate through infected zones, repel relentless assaults, dismantle unit fabricators, download critical data, and purge corrupted nodes as you delve deeper into the heart of the complex. Use the strengths and weaknesses of each item to craft powerful synergies and adapt your strategies. Whether you’re overheating enemies, corroding their circuits, absorbing damage, or retaliating with counter-attacks, flexibility is key. Remember: the enemies adapt to your tactics, so be prepared to change your approach. Above all, your mission is clear: defend the Mainframe at all costs!
