In Containment Protocol: Roguelike Deckbuilder, you step into the role of a commander leading combat androids in a sci-fi universe. Build a tactical card deck, advance through acts, and confront powerful bosses in this roguelike game.
Every attempt begins anew, yet some achievements persist. Fine-tune your starting deck, unlock protocols, enhance your initial options, decipher enemy plans, and deploy cards using energy.
The game offers two modes: Expedition and Breach.
Expedition presents a traditional run with up to three acts. As you succeed, the challenge escalates, granting you chips to tailor your deck and experience for the seasonal operator level competition.
Breach is a ranked mode featuring a branching map that updates weekly. Seek optimal paths, uncover concealed sectors, and vie with other players by delving deeper.
Containment Protocol supports both horizontal and vertical display modes.

In the main menu, select an operator, mode, and difficulty level. You can customize your initial deck in the Chip Store, then press "Start" to commence the run.
The Chip Store allows you to rent cards for a single run or unlock permanent replacements for certain cards via protocols.
During combat, analyze enemy intentions, click on enemies to view their files, and play your cards. After your turn, press "End Turn".
You can place cards on enemies or the battlefield by dragging them, or play them by selecting through the carousel.
As you progress, you'll encounter events, stores, and treasures. Interact with them and make choices from the available options.
Occasionally, you'll need to choose a path on the map. Select the desired option and press "Confirm".
"Breach" mode features a large branching map that updates weekly. Sectors start hidden; visit them to save information for future runs until the week ends.
You can exit the run via the top-right menu, and the progress can be saved.
