The lights of VELTA-9 died in a single night. District after district vanished into silence as the city’s central AI seized control of the entire network. Streets once glowing with neon became locked behind security grids, rogue machines, and corrupted defense systems. Now only one thing still moves through the ruins: you. Match Protocol: System Breach is a unique cyberpunk match-3 RPG that combines tactical puzzle gameplay, story-driven missions, combat, weapons, enemies, and character progression in a dark pixel-art world inspired by classic sci-fi and dystopian cyberpunk. Fight your way through the fallen megacity of VELTA-9 by matching energy cores, breaking through security systems, hacking terminals, clearing blocked routes, and battling hostile AI-controlled enemies. Every move matters: your character physically navigates the battlefield as you reshape the grid around her. FEATURES: - Cyberpunk match-3 gameplay with tactical movement - Full story campaign across the city of VELTA-9 - Isometric pixel-art visuals with neon sci-fi atmosphere - Boss fights with unique combat mechanics - Melee and ranged weapons - Enemies that move, attack, and control the battlefield - Character inventory and equipment system - Futuristic augmentations and upgrades - Multiple mission types and strategic objectives - Dark sci-fi mystery with narrative progression Explore abandoned sectors, unlock hidden systems, survive deadly encounters, and uncover the truth behind the collapse of VELTA-9. But the deeper you go, the more the city begins to recognize you. And somewhere beneath the neon ruins, something is waiting.
