C-Wars

About

C-Wars is a turn-based RPG with rogue-like elements and retro pixel art. You pick from heroes across rival factions to navigate a story about a deadly infection spreading through a crumbling city. Combat mixes tactical positioning with random encounters, and each run shifts based on choices and mutations. The 16-bit visuals and clunky UI evoke late 90s PC games, though the story leans into body-horror themes with limited dialogue. The retro aesthetic feels sharper than most modern throwbacks but doesn’t hide its 2015 roots. The infection mechanics add tense resource management, cure supplies dwindle as mutations escalate. While the 4-hour runtime and stiff controls may not impress newcomers, the cult following keeps it alive on indie forums. Its mix of permadeath and faction politics offers more depth than most pixelated throwbacks, even if the presentation stumbles in places.
