CLAWS

CLAWS is a real-time battle simulator that puts you in charge of large-scale combat. Direct units from above, jump into a fighter on the front lines, and drive every turning point yourself.

Rendered entirely in a retro command-line style, every battle plays out live in text and color, turning fast tactical decisions into cinematic chaos.

Command or fight Lead armies from above or possess any fighter and join the battle yourself.
Sandbox battles Mix armies, weapons, items, maps, and special characters to create endless scenarios.
Terminal-powered warfare Every battle is rendered live using nothing but characters, color, and pure command-line spectacle.

Create battles that should never exist

Recreate history, invent impossible matchups, or unleash complete chaos. CLAWS is a sandbox where every battle is simulated in real time and every outcome is earned on the battlefield.

Historical and fictional battles

Send 300 Spartans against 10,000 Persians, stage an Old West showdown between outlaws and lawmen, or defend a city from a zombie outbreak.

Command or possess

Lead armies from above, issue orders across the battlefield, or jump directly into any fighter and take control yourself.

Legendary characters

Recruit powerful figures such as Zeus, Thor, King Arthur, Medusa, Dracula, and Frankenstein's Monster, each with unique abilities and battlefield impact.

Weapons that change everything

Deploy missile strikes, drones, EMP blasts, automated defenses, and other powerful tools capable of turning the tide of battle instantly.

Emergent stories

Watch armies adapt, heroes clash, defenses collapse, and unlikely victories emerge naturally from the simulation.

A real command-line game

Not pixel art. Not a terminal theme. CLAWS renders live battles directly through characters and color, transforming the command line into a living battlefield.
