Into the Grid

Into the Grid combines card battles with tactical map exploration and resource management. You play as a hacker exploring the Grid, an infinite digital landscape of information, riches and dangers, where each decision can bring profit or punishment.

Card battles

Your Repo holds program cards, which serve as your weapons. Each card produces its effect and generates Virtual Memory (VIM), including when you draw a suboptimal hand. Spend VIM to activate Commands during battle and break through enemy defenses. Commands are powerful unlockable skills; you choose which to use, sync them with your deck and deploy them strategically.

Explore the Grid

As you explore, you decide where to go and when, whether to fight or flee, and whether to claim a reward now or save it for a potentially greater payoff. You can acquire new Programs, upgrade the ones you favor and remove less effective cards to tune your combat abilities.

Customize your Console

Your Console is an extension of your hacker character. Unlock hardware mods and perks to tailor it to your playstyle, with more options becoming available as you hone your skills.

Characters and campaigns

The game includes different characters, each with distinct gameplay mechanics, art and story arcs. Single-player campaigns are available at full launch.
