Our take on Terminal squad: Sentinel
Rather than treating match-3 as a separate puzzle mode, the game makes tile matching part of mech combat by using it to charge offensive and defensive equipment. Its progression also follows an incremental structure, while exploration adds a narrative mystery.
What is Terminal squad: Sentinel?
Sentinel casts the player as a scout mech pilot exploring a habitable planet during humanity’s space-conquest era.
The mission is to gather information and send it back to the Center, but the expedition reveals details about a hidden operation and its real purpose. Combat combines enemy-wave shooting with match-3 play: tile matches charge offensive and defensive equipment used in battle. Enemy strength and rewards increase as levels progress. The progression follows an incremental-game structure, while bosses can shift the battlefield toward the enemy. More than 30 equipment options support different combat setups. The game also includes ongoing micro-missions that do not interrupt level progress and provide additional player strengthening.
