⚔️ PICK A SQUAD. SURVIVE TWELVE WAVES.

🚫 NO HELLDIVERS ARE COMING.

You are a Warrant Officer.

Two days ago, you arrived on Angel's Venture as a failed Helldiver candidate — assigned to a backwater defensive line no one expected to matter. Yesterday, your platoon leader was killed on patrol. Today, every bug on the planet is charging toward the tower you were ordered to protect.

There are no Helldivers in orbit. No orbital strikes on standby. No extraction waiting. What you have is a platoon of scared, exhausted soldiers, a radio that still picks up scattered survivors, and a choice to make every time the gunfire stops: who do you save, what do you risk, and how long can you hold?

📦 WHAT THIS CARD IS

A tactical survival RPG built on the Helldivers 2 universe.

You command a defensive perimeter around Termicide Tower 2.0 through twelve escalating waves of Terminid assault. Between waves, you manage resources, deploy units, unlock abilities, and decide which scattered forces to bring into the fold.

🎲 Every choice costs time.

💀 Every loss is permanent.

🔁 No two runs play the same way.

🛡️ EIGHT SCATTERED UNITS. ONE TOWER.

The swarm overran the entire eastern defense line. But fragments of other units are still out there — cut off, outgunned, refusing to die. Each one brings something your platoon desperately needs:

• 🔧 Combat engineers who can turn scrap metal into autocannons

• 👁️ Recon scouts watching the treeline — they know where the next wave is massing

• 💣 Fortress artillery with five shells and one sealed nuclear round

• 📢 A PR detachment in Helldiver-grade dress armor who just killed two Warriors with bayonets

• ✈️ Ground crew trapped in an airfield hangar with Eagle wrecks full of salvaged weapons

• 🎯 An all-female air defense platoon whose Patriot missiles can clear the sky — if you repair them

• 🎓 Heavy weapons instructors who make any gun perform like it's in the hands of a veteran

• 👨‍👩‍👧 Fifty Helldiver families in a bunker with scavenged rifles and a crowbar that already has bug blood on it

❗ You cannot save them all. You cannot deploy them all at once.

You choose who matters — and live with the consequences.

🌊 TWELVE WAVES. FOURTEEN HOURS.

The swarm escalates every three waves.

Scavengers give way to Hive Guards. Hive Guards give way to Commanders. By Wave 9, Bile Titans and Bile Dragons are on the field, and your defenses are held together by sandbags, stubbornness, and whatever ammunition the civilians managed to reload between attacks.

At the final stage, High Command calls. They offer you a choice:

🔹 More SEAF reinforcements

🔹 Or a Helldiver deployment.

Calling the Helldivers means admitting the battle couldn’t be won without them.

Not calling them means one more wave with whatever you have left.

Both choices have weight. Neither one is wrong.

⚙️ FEATURES

• ✅ Tactical wave defense with deep resource management between assaults

• ✅ Eight scattered units with unique commanders, skill trees, and unlockable abilities

• ✅ Permanent casualties — every soldier you lose stays lost

• ✅ Escalating enemy roster:

• Scavengers → Warriors → Hive Guards → Commanders → Tanks → Impalers → Bile Titans → Bile Dragons

• ✅ Terrain-based combat across a three-layer, nine-position defensive network

• ✅ Branching finale determined by who survived, what was repaired, and your final choice

• ✅ Built for long-form, multi-session campaigns with persistent consequences

• ✅ Helldivers 2 universe — SEAF regulars, not orbital-drop heroes

⚠️ CONTENT NOTES

• Military sci-fi action with themes of sacrifice, command burden, and fighting a war you were never supposed to survive.

• Graphic combat violence against insectoid aliens.

• Player character death is possible. Permanent squad member death throughout.

• No NSFW focus, but the card does not censor the brutality of war or the weight of losing soldiers under your command.

🎬 OPENING SCENARIO

The first wave just broke against your perimeter. Sergeant Okonkwo is counting heads. Private Darrow, nineteen years old, is staring at his hands. The E-MG101s are still smoking. You have maybe fifteen minutes before the next wave hits.

Your radio crackles — a frequency you don't recognize. Someone else is still out there.

The card opens by asking you to choose which scattered unit makes contact first. Their commander's voice comes through the static. They need something. They're offering something. The second wave is massing beyond the treeline.

🎯 PICK A SQUAD. START THE CLOCK.

🪖 **NOT A HELLDIVER. JUST A SOLDIER.** — OUT NOW

This is my first time making an RPG bot card. I'm sure there are things I've missed — bugs, broken logic, formatting that doesn't render right, or moments where the AI gets confused across the nine units and twelve waves.

If you spot anything off while playing, drop a comment. I'll check every report a

nd patch what needs fixing.

Thanks for giving it a shot.
