ABOUT THE GAME
Equipment that blocks the road,
Judgment based on information.
Against the invading robots, we will choose defense facilities from construction points along the road. The entire work deals with the defense of each island as well as information analysis with Data Analyzer and management of Crisis Impact.
DEFEND THE ROUTE
Even after building the tower,
Watch the flow of the road.
After construction, the robot will move along the path and approach the server side. The image "Upgrade the tower!" is a guide to strengthen the tower, and the resources, remaining durability, and number of waves are listed in the upper left.

Select a tower from a fixed point
The gear on the board is the construction point. Once selected, the tower's cost and release conditions will appear in a circular menu, and you can assemble a defense within the resources available.
Combining intelligence analysis with defense
Officially, Data Analyzer, which considers the reliability of information, and Crisis Impact, which deals with the impact of disinformation on crises, are introduced. The structure includes not only battles that involve facing enemies, but also decisions that involve reading information.
A mode that welcomes continued waves
