Could you build this?
Partial Packaging a game into a Chrome extension is simple, but designing a deep offline tactics game with 28 classes, 270+ enemy types, 7 modes, and custom pixel art is a massive game design and asset production effort.
What it would actually take: The game would be implemented using a 2D HTML5 canvas or WebGL game engine (such as Phaser, PixiJS, or custom Canvas2D) packaged within a Manifest V3 Chrome Extension. The primary bottleneck is not the software plumbing, but the extensive game design, balanced tactical AI math, complex state machine logic, and authoring hundreds of sprite sheets and animations.
