The game is played between 1 defender and a number of stealthy attackers. The defender controls a set of guards who can view parts of the map. An attacker controls a single agent who must sneak past the guards to their objective.
Various gameplay settings can be configured (server-side) in hanzo.toml.
On a defender's turn they control the guards with the following actions:
TABto cycle through selected guardLEFTto move one tile leftRIGHTto move one tile rightUPto move one tile upDOWNto move one tile down[to rotate field-of-view anti-clockwise]to rotate field-of-view clockwise
A defender has a fixed number of actions per turn (not including cycling through their guards).
To eliminate an attacker, a guard must manoeuvre such that an attacker would take 3 or more moves to escape their line-of-sight. Note an attacker is only visible to the defender if they're within a guard's line-of-sight.
When it is not their turn they will be presented with a waiting screen:
