Version: 0.6


ZONE STRIKE is a fast-paced card-fighting game where you go head-to-head against ARES — a cold, adaptive AI opponent who talks back.


Each round you play attack and block cards across three combat zones: HIGH, MID, and LOW. Match zones to deflect strikes. Miss and a wrong-zone guard still glances the blow — go in blind and you eat it in full. Land counters, fire unblockable specials, and manage your stamina before it collapses.


⚔️ TACTICAL CARD COMBAT

Play attack cards into a zone. ARES defends — or doesn't. Counters reflect damage back. Unblockables bypass all blocks. Shields absorb 50% from any zone. Feint cards declare one zone and resolve in another.


🃏 DECK BUILDER

Build a deck of 15–20 cards from a pool of 22 unique card types. Attack, block, counter, shield, feint, heal, drain — every deck tells a different story.


🥋 MARTIAL ARTS, WITH A CYBER SKIN

Flying Crane, Iron Fist, Steel Wall, Parry, Death Blow — every card has a full martial-arts identity. Unlock the original Cyber Skin in the shop to flip the whole roster back to Unblockable Pulse, Plasma Mid-Attack, and the rest, anytime.


🤖 ARES — Adaptive AI with Voice

ARES reads your zone patterns, exploits your stamina, and narrates every move. He's not random. He learns. Beat him and he'll remember.


📋 DAILY CONTRACTS

Three fresh contracts every day — Easy, Medium, Hard. Win with no passes. Dominate a single zone. Land two counters in one match. Stack your streak for double credit rewards.


⬡ RANK & PROGRESSION

Every match earns XP. Level up through 20 ranks. Spend credits in the unlock shop on new themes, card packs, and the ARES: Brutal difficulty mode.


⚔ CHALLENGE FRIENDS

Share a Challenge Link after any match. Your friend plays the same deck, same starting conditions, same ARES seed — different choices. The URL encodes your results. No server. No account. Just a link.


🏆 WEEKLY CHALLENGE & DECK CODES

Everyone faces the same ARES seed all week — chase your own best score on the Weekly leaderboard. Built a deck you're proud of? Copy its Deck Code and share it with a friend to try.


♻️ DISCARD & RECYCLE

Played cards go to your discard pile and shuffle back when your deck runs dry — at the cost of 1 stamina. Drop dead cards during your draw phase to dig for what you need.
