Who it's for

Two-player card game fans who enjoy sharp tactical duels with deep card-interaction and a distinctive sci-fi theme.

Not for you if…

You want a relaxed, low-interaction game β€” Compile is built around constant disruption and direct confrontation between two players.

🦊

Vibe's take

Sharp and reactive β€” every card played can be countered, twisted, or stolen, so games feel like a fast-moving chess match where reading your opponent's Protocol combo matters more than sticking to a fixed plan.

About this game

Compile: Main 2 pits two artificial intelligences against each other, each racing to master three chosen Protocols before the other can hijack their plans.
