Pulse Citadel is a compact sci-fi defense game about bringing a dormant machine fully online. Choose one visible research node, launch a combat simulation, and turn destroyed enemies into Charge for the grid. Completed nodes reveal new signals, open new branches, and push the Citadel from a bare core into a layered defense system. Plan routes through a circuit-like research grid, unlock weapons and active abilities, and build toward the final simulation. Combat power comes from your research decisions, prestige rebuilds, ability timing, and simulation speed choices rather than temporary in-run shopping. Features: - Hand-authored research grid with weapon, ability, utility, hybrid, core, and prestige routes - Automated Citadel combat against waves of incoming enemies - Unlockable weapons including Bolt, Arc Lattice, Rail Spike, and Drone Ring - Active abilities including Shockwave, Stasis Pulse, and Overcharge - Prestige rebuild perks and a deliberate final-threat path - Local progression, settings, and achievement tracking
