CLAWS: Command Line Advanced Warfare System

CLAWS is a real-time battle simulator that puts you in control of large-scale combat—whether you want to command from above or jump directly into the fight.

Rendered entirely in a retro command-line style, CLAWS delivers fast, chaotic, and surprisingly cinematic battles where every moment is driven by your decisions.
