ABOUT THE GAME
Cepheus Protocol is a real-time strategy (RTS) game where a mysterious alien virus sweeps through San Francisco. The Center for Epidemic Research and Control (CERC) is tasked with locating and finding Patient Zero before resorting to the Cepheus Protocol. Give orders to your team, defend your base, and stop the Pangu virus before it’s too late – how you do this depends entirely on you.
Features:
Primary Objectives
Train and level up a team of up to 8 members as you explore the city and fight the infected.
Create and train defenders to protect your base from Pangu virus victims as they attempt to reclaim zones.
Collect DNA to research the virus and defeat Patient Zero.
Strategy
Take control of Captain Adrian Winter as he leads an elite team of 8 soldiers in an effort to contain the Pangu virus outbreak.
Choose how to spend your in-game money to upgrade your troops, purchase better weapons, or acquire new soldiers to fill your ranks. Earn money in the game by completing bounties and eliminating the infected.
Collect virus samples to improve your team’s abilities and expand your understanding of the virus before it’s too late.
Every life matters, and every soldier counts. If Captain Winter dies, the game is over. Decide whether to leave her at the base or use her advanced skill set on the field.
Build and Defend Your Base
Building: At the start of the game, you can construct a base consisting of specialized buildings where new soldiers can be trained and weapon upgrades can be purchased.
Defenses: As the threat from the virus grows, your base is in constant danger of being overrun, as random and scheduled encounters from the infected threaten to breach your defenses to stop the epidemic.
Patrolling: As the infection spreads, more and more parts of the city fall to the Pangu virus. You must send patrols to every part of the world and destroy toxic gas towers that transmit the virus at an alarming rate.
