About This Game

IAH: INTERNET WAR is a roguelike survival game. You plan in turns at your desk, then watch the fight play out in real time on the map. You are a hacker. Your job is to take down ZENDAR CORP before it puts a global AI in charge of everything.

HOW YOU PLAY

Your desk sets the pace. Pick a PC, choose an OS, connect your modem, and drag websites onto the map. Every click you make counts as one turn. Browse, build a bot, hack a node, buy gear. Then the net hits back: viruses hatch, police arrive, and the Tax AI sends collectors if you skip a payment.

Fights happen in real time. Your bots deploy onto the 3D map. Move them, pick targets, set their stance (Default, Aggressive, Hold, Tether), and use their skills. Open Tactical Mode to take direct control. Cover, flanking and line of sight all matter.

Take ground, take jobs. Capture Control Panels to hold a sector. Hold enough and the Contract Broker gives you a hacking job, like blowing a nuclear plant. Hacking is illegal, so your wanted level goes up, the police get worse, and rival hackers trace you and send a crew after your contracts.

Zendar deals the cards. Every wave gives you three Chaos cards and you must take one. Most of them hurt. Fight back with TP cards: items, bot gear and run-wide buffs.

You get one life. Protect your Main Bot. If it dies, the run ends. Your score still carries over and unlocks new hackers, better bot stats and crafting parts for the next run.
