How the game plays
Zero Company is a turn-based tactics game built on a tight set of interlocking systems — action points and cover in the field, the Advantage resource and squad synergies that reward good positioning, and a base layer at the Den where you recruit, build bonds and upgrade between missions. These are the rules behind every decision.
