**TRIOS: PURGE** is a high-intensity retro-futuristic 3D arena shooter inspired by classic *Battlezone*, *Descent*, and cyberpunk demoscene aesthetics. Pilot a **Cyborg Cyclops** armed with devastating wireframe weaponry through 10 increasingly brutal sectors of a collapsing neural grid. Destroy TRIOS — the rogue red grid dragon — and his army of data serpents before humanity’s global neural network is consumed forever.

### **STORY**

In 2048, the world runs on a vast neural energy grid. When the entity known as **TRIOS** awakens, it begins siphoning all power and data into an endless void. Cities go dark. Chaos reigns.

You are **Captain Purge**. In your home lab, you’ve forged a one-man cybernetic assault platform: a heavily armed drone-assisted **Cyborg Cyclops** equipped with a **Neurot Gatling**, **X-Ray Laser**, and a squad of loyal **Dragon Drones**.

Your mission: Blast through 10 unique sectors and confront TRIOS in the final Colosseum.

### **TIPS & STRATEGY**

1. **Master Air Strafing** — Combine jetpack + WASD for maximum mobility. Never stay still.

2. **Save Often** — Use **O** before tough sections.

3. **Laser is King** — Use the X-Ray Laser on large dragons and during boss phases.

4. **Drone Timing** — Deploy drones right before big enemy waves or boss phases.

5. **Ammo Management** — Save missiles and shotgun shells for clustered minions.

6. **Verticality Wins** — Many enemies have trouble hitting you when you’re high above them.

7. **Boss Phases** — TRIOS gets faster and more aggressive as his HP drops. Watch for minion spawns at 66% and 33%.

8. **Accuracy Matters** — Final score rewards high accuracy and low damage taken.
