About This Game

PLAN. PREDICT. EXECUTE.

Step into a surreal experiment where captive bio-organic entities are pitted against each other. Compulse is a simultaneous tactical roguelite where you'll build a squad of Compulsors and throw them into a brutal test of evolution and mutation. Plan your moves, predict the enemy's, then watch both squads act at once, turn after turn. Steal your opponents' power to survive and see the final experiment through to the end.

SIMULTANEOUS TURN BASED ACTION

Every battle resolves in real time, with both squads acting together at once. Plan your Compulsors' moves and choose your approach: will you try to outread your rivals, or trust your instincts? Positioning, timing, and prediction decide every fight: one wrong read can flip the outcome in an instant.

• Fast-paced tactical combat with simultaneous, real-time resolution

• Compact arenas built for readability and precise positioning

• Predict enemy behavior and outmaneuver evolving threats

• Learn each entity archetype's patterns to counter them

• No traditional turns, no downtime just planning fused with continuous tactical pressure

• 3v3 squad combat built around synergy and split-second decisions

ABSORB THEIR POWER

Defeat an enemy, and you don't just win the fight you take something from it. Every Compulsor you beat can hand over one of its abilities, ready to replace one already in your squad.

Every run turns your squad into something different. The enemy that nearly killed you last fight might be the reason you win the next one.

• Defeat enemies to unlock and steal their abilities

• Swap abilities in and out of your squad between fights

• Every victory reshapes your squad's identity, not just its power

• Build around the strengths of the enemies you've beaten

GROW YOUR BROOD

Fight against powerful enemies and complete objectives to unlock new biological entities, each with its own identity, passives, and tactical role.

Customize every Compulsor during a run with mutations, supers, and relics layering on stolen abilities for squads that evolve with every fight.

• Unlock new playable Compulsors through progression

• Build squads with distinct tactical identities

• Equip supers and relics alongside stolen abilities

• Create synergies unique to your current run

EXPERIMENT, FIGHT, DIE, REPEAT.

Descend through a branching biological ecosystem full of battles, elite encounters, bosses, events, anomalies, and choices you can't take back. Every run mixes new upgrades, enemies, and stolen abilities into combinations you haven't seen before.

Failure feeds the evolution. Unlock new entities, abilities, and difficulty tiers as you master Compulse's systems.

• Branching, node-based roguelite structure

• Granular difficulty progression for long-term mastery

• New abilities, relics, and units unlocked over time

• Highly replayable runs, no two squads evolve the same way

COLORFUL BIO-HORROR
