About this game
In a world where code shapes the future, Typhon challenges you to build, fight, and adapt in a relentless tactical warzone. Step into the cockpit of your modular mech, script your victory, and evolve in real time against ever-changing threats.
Typhon is not just a game. It’s a live simulation of survival, engineering, and battlefield dominance.
Code. Conquer. Evolve.
Your missions unfold on the surface of AEGIS IVb, a distant alien world laced with ancient ruins, dangerous anomalies, and strategic value. Here, advanced machines battle for control in a high-stakes arena where every decision matters.
From thermal zones to abandoned outposts, each environment challenges your tactical awareness and engineering skill. Whether you dominate through power, precision, or planning, Typhon rewards those who adapt.
Typhon is a tactical sandbox built entirely in Python, where code is part of the battlefield. Every unit, behavior, and system are written in a language designed for clarity, flexibility, and full player control.
Build your army from the ground up, customizing loadouts and combat modules to face the shifting challenges of thermal zones, abandoned outposts, and reactive terrain. But beyond tactics and terrain, the real advantage lies in your ability to understand and modify the logic that drives it all.
In Typhon, you don’t just play the game, you read it, shape it, and master it through code.
This is strategy, survival, and Python working together in real time.
Your mech is a fully customizable extension of your tactical mind. Every component you choose shapes how you fight, move, and survive.
Weapons to dominate at range or in brutal close-quarters encounters
Mobility systems to traverse harsh terrain and reposition with precision
Sensors to enhance targeting, tracking, or environmental awareness
Power cores to fuel endurance, defense, and advanced systems
Success on Typhon is about designing smarter, adapting faster, and turning code into combat power.

Patch NotesOfficial
Patch 0.3.0
Rift MechanicsGreetings Pilots,We're excited to introduce rift mechanics and four new missions featuring rifts. These rift missions are essentially logical puzzles. First two are puzzles that players can solve beforehand and simply implement the solution in the code, while the last two require players to write the code that solves the puzzle. In-game documentation is already up-to-date, the wiki should be updated in the next few of days.The new missions are interspersed with the existing ones in terms of order. If you already had an unlocked mission that is past one of the rift missions, it will stay unlocked.We'd love to hear your feedback, in Discord or in the game forums!Coding Highlightsbot.extract() can now take a quantity parameterbot.rift()/bot.rifts() methods to detect riftsbot.inventory() returns cargo content by crystal typenew class: Rift; in addition to the usual Entity properties/methods, Rift contains:exit_x - property, X coordinate of the rift exitexit_y - property, Y coordinate of the rift exitget_cost() - method, returns the rift cost by crystal typeBe sure to check the Codex!Other BugfixesIn addition, patch 0.3.0 contains several minor bugfixes:fixed several issues when closing the gameconsole state now persists through mission mode changesfixed issues that popped up when switching repeatedly between briefing and debriefingfixed tutorial buttons inconsitenciesHappy coding!Read full article on Community Announcements (Brightshade Games)Patch NotesOfficial
