Hostile Takeover

Hostile Takeover is a turn-based combat game about a small team of contractors hired by mysterious suits to take on impossible jobs against powerful corporations. You explore each corporation, facing combat and events, improving your characters and visiting black market shops. Each contractor has custom cybernetics that grant abilities represented by cards, which you use for actions such as moving, attacking and defending.

Turn-based combat

Playing cards costs power, but each round your team's power resets to zero. Every card also has a gain that you can convert into power by discarding it. You can keep your team balanced or direct power toward the character with the strongest draws that round. Another option is to use one character as a recycler to fuel a companion who deals damage.

Classes and upgrades

Each player character belongs to a class with its own cards for building a deck. Some classes use shields to reduce incoming damage, while others can disappear and force enemies to attack another target.

You can add cards to character decks and find cybernetic upgrades. Unlike abilities, upgrades remain active and can significantly change how a character plays. Combining compatible upgrades can make characters stronger.

Changing levels

Hand-made environments and encounters are assembled through procedural generation to create each level. Layouts, hazards and events vary between runs, while enemy encounters and combat maps are designed to provide challenge.
