In a dystopian sci-fi world, your goal is to end the tyrannical corporate armistice known as the Balance. As the Mastermind of an elite group of combatants known as Operators, you make key strategical decisions based on the intel you collected to plan your unit's every move. Your choices will determine the outcome of the encounters your soldiers will face.  

Every move, every decision, every action and reaction you make will influence and decide the outcome of each encounter you will face along the way. The game’s Overworld and Mission Planning system allows you to control a myriad of elements prior to executing a mission. By trading precious credits for information via the Intel System, you can have a better overview of missions prior to launch.

Delphyq is not a turn-based game; despite it having a pause mechanic, combat is still handled in real-time. The game’s waypoints, look direction and dynamic cover systems open doors for intense, strategic and memorable encounters. Advanced functions such as GoCodes and Operative skills provide access to deeper tactical maneuvers to deal with the game’s extremely intelligent utility-based AI enemies. 

But make no mistake, you can't rest on your laurels after a successful mission in Delphyq. The enemy AI learns from your tactics to better counter you in the next one.

Delphyq will be available through Steam Early Access starting October 19, 2021, where players will be able to enjoy all the features presented as well as 3 tactical maps to master.

Four additional new maps will be added during the EA, as well as possible features to improve the gamers' experience with Delphyq.

Each AI unit functions in conjunction with its environment; depending on the situation, it will also try to coordinate with other AI in the field, and will attempt to flank the Operatives and/or engage them through the use of cover.

The game’s Permadeath feature reinforces mastery, putting more weight in every decision made throughout the course of the game. Mastery of the game’s systems is an essential element in fulfilling the mastermind role.
