Evangelion: Angel Protocols — Defend Humanity in Tokyo-3

About This Experience

The year is 2015. The world has not yet ended — but it came close. Fifteen years ago, the Second Impact melted the Antarctic ice sheet, flooded coastlines worldwide, and killed over two billion people. The scars of that catastrophe are still visible in every sunken city and every refugee camp that dots the Japanese coastline. Now, a new threat descends from the heavens: beings of impossible geometry, designated Angels, each one a walking apocalypse capable of leveling Tokyo-3 in minutes. Their AT Fields deflect conventional weaponry. Their forms defy biology and physics alike. And they keep coming.

Humanity's last line of defense is NERV, a paramilitary organization operating from the Geofront — a vast cathedral-like headquarters buried beneath Tokyo-3. Their weapons are the Evangelions: organic giants clad in armored plating, psychically linked to teenage pilots through a synchro-nervous system. These are not machines. They are weapons shaped from the flesh of humanity's own progenitor, and the children who pilot them carry the weight of extinction on their shoulders while wrestling with the ordinary torments of adolescence — loneliness, fear, the desperate need for approval.

Evangelion: Angel Protocols places you inside this fractured world. You are not merely a spectator to the battles that defined an era of anime; you stand at the tactical nexus where every decision has consequences. Analyze incoming Angel patterns from the command center, choose deployment strategies, assign pilots to combat scenarios, and manage the psychological state of your Eva pilots as the campaign wears on. The story unfolds through branching narrative paths, tactical decision sequences, and character-driven dialogue scenes that capture the tension between duty and humanity, survival and sacrifice. This is Evangelion as it was always meant to be experienced — not watched from a safe distance, but inhabited.

Game Features

• Tactical Angel Encounters — Every Angel is a unique puzzle demanding different strategies. Face Ramiel's devastating particle drill and learn to synchronize a positron rifle shot across kilometers. Confront the shadow dimension of Leliel, where conventional attacks pass through empty space. Endure Zeruel's overwhelming brute force, an Angel so powerful it tears through Eva units like paper. Each encounter requires different weapon loadouts, pilot assignments, and battlefield positioning.

• Pilot Psychology Management — The Evangelion is bonded to its pilot through synchronization. The higher the sync ratio, the more powerful the Eva — but also the more vulnerable the pilot to psychological trauma. Monitor Shinji's withdrawal, Asuka's spiraling pride, and Rei's unsettling detachment. Let a pilot's mental state degrade, and the Eva itself may go berserk, turning the battlefield into a nightmare. Protect their emotional well-being through dialogue choices and rest rotations, or push them harder for tactical advantage — the choice is yours.

• NERV Command Console — The command room is your strategic hub. Review intelligence briefings from Ritsuko Akagi to understand each Angel's capabilities. Receive real-time tactical assessments from Misato Katsuragi, whose instincts have kept NERV alive through impossible odds. Decode the cryptic directives passed down from Commander Gendo Ikari, whose plans extend far beyond Angel defense. Every briefing, every conversation, every silent look across the command floor carries information that could tilt the next battle.

• Tokyo-3 Battlefield Control — The city itself is a weapon system. Tokyo-3's skyscrapers retract underground to clear firing lines. Defensive emplacements rise from streets and rooftops. The entire urban landscape sits above the Geofront, and protecting the surface means protecting NERV headquarters itself. Choose engagement zones, order civilian evacuations, and decide which infrastructure to sacrifice when an Angel breaches the outer defense line. The battlefield is three-dimensional and constantly shifting.

• Eva Deployment & Upgrade System — Select and configure Evangelion units before each sortie. Arm Unit 00 with experimental ranged weapons or heavy armor. Deploy Unit 01 for close-quarters combat with the Progressive Knife and high sync potential. Unleash Unit 02's aggressive combat programming with its signature Sonic Glaive. Unlock upgrades as the campaign progresses: upgraded armor plating, enhanced battery packs for extended operation, positron rifle variants, and the deeply controversial Dummy Plug system. Each loadout changes how battles unfold.

• Branching Narrative with Multiple Endings — Your decisions across combat and character interactions shape the story's trajectory. Trust Misato's unconventional strategies or question her judgment. Protect the pilots from Gendo's manipulations or follow orders without hesitation. Build bonds between characters or let them fracture under pressure. Multiple endings await, ranging from triumph to tragedy, and the path you carve through the Angel War will be uniquely yours.

Characters & Highlights

The world of Evangelion is defined by its characters — flawed, hurting, and desperately human in the face of cosmic horror. Shinji Ikari, the reluctant pilot of Unit 01, would rather run from conflict than face it, yet he never abandons the cockpit when it matters most. His journey is one of a boy learning that running away and staying both have consequences. Rei Ayanami, the enigmatic pilot of Unit 00, speaks in fragments and exists in isolation — a living mystery wrapped in bandages and LCL, slowly discovering what it means to have a will of her own. Asuka Langley Soryu, the fiery German-Japanese prodigy of Unit 02, pilots with unmatched skill but wages a private war against her own insecurities, terrified of being replaced, being surpassed, being alone.

Behind them stands Misato Katsuragi, NERV's operations director — a woman who buried her trauma under medals, alcohol, and a fierce determination to protect the children in her care. She carries the guilt of Second Impact survivors and channels it into tactical brilliance. Ritsuko Akagi, the head scientist, maintains the Evangelions and holds secrets that could unravel NERV from within — secrets about the true nature of the Evas, about Rei, about the Human Instrumentality Project that Gendo pursues in shadow. And Gendo Ikari himself, the man behind the orange visor, a father who abandoned his son to pursue a plan that may cost humanity its individuality.

The Angels themselves are unforgettable antagonists. Sachiel, the first to attack, whose avian skull and mask-like face introduced the world to Evangelion horror. Ramiel, the perfect geometric executioner, a blue octahedron that drills through reality itself. Shamshel, the whip-wielding serpent of light. Bardiel, the parasitic Angel that corrupts Unit 03 and forces Shinji to fight his friend. And Kaworu Nagisa, the final Angel, who arrives as a gentle boy and leaves as a question — does humanity deserve to survive, or is it merely too stubborn to die?

From the labyrinthine corridors of NERV headquarters to the blood-red skies above a dying Tokyo-3, Evangelion: Angel Protocols captures the full aesthetic and emotional breadth of the original series. The visual language is preserved — the clinical blues and stark oranges of the command center, the haunting silhouette of Unit 01 against an eclipse, the quiet desolation of a city that knows it may not see tomorrow. The soundtrack evokes the original's blend of classical gravitas and industrial dread. This is not a parody or a simplification. It is a faithful interactive expansion of one of the most celebrated mecha narratives ever created.

Who It Is For

This experience is built for those who grew up with Evangelion and for those discovering it for the first time. If you have ever sat through the end of an episode and asked yourself what you would have done differently — whether you would have gotten in the robot, whether you would have trusted Misato, whether you could have saved them all — this experience is for you.

It is for fans of mecha anime who want more than flashy combat animations, who crave the human stories behind the cockpit glass. It is for players of narrative-driven games — visual novels, interactive fiction, choice-based adventures — who value moral complexity and character depth over mechanical skill. It is for writers and creators looking to understand what makes Evangelion endure as a cultural touchstone more than two decades after its release.

It is for anyone who has ever felt like the battle they are fighting is too big for them. Because Evangelion is not really about giant robots fighting aliens. It is about the children inside the robots. It is about whether connection is worth the pain it costs. And it is about the terrifying, beautiful realization that even if the world does not deserve saving, we try anyway.
