Game Description
Antivirus PROTOCOL opens up a digital world captured by the ubiquitous Virus, and the gamer is given the role of counter-program. The main task is the methodical extermination of hostile elements that have filled the system. The first steps involve eliminating small pests to obtain their internal components, represented by code fragments and raw data. This process of gathering resources becomes the basis for achieving the main goal - complete cleanup of the infected network. The final directive is to confront and completely eliminate the central intelligence that controls the cybernetic takeover.
The obtained data serves as the main resource for development in Antivirus PROTOCOL. These materials are distributed across an extensive upgrade tree, allowing the player to enhance basic functions and unlock entirely new abilities. Leveling up branches lead to a variety of weapon systems and special abilities, further enhanced by temporary bonuses dropped in battle. This cycle of resource accumulation and self-improvement helps you adapt, learn about enemy vulnerabilities, and overcome increasingly complex threats at later stages.
Progress through the game is built on a sequence of individual levels, each of which ends with a fight with a powerful Viral Boss. Defeating a key enemy is the only requirement for unlocking the next area of the system. Each new stage introduces unique enemy types with different behaviors, creating fresh tactical challenges and providing more valuable materials to collect. Gameplay takes place from a top-down view in a minimalistic, abstract environment. The main game loop involves replaying locations to continually accumulate resources.
