There's a terminal window in the game which you use to control your robots

I even found some shell constructs to work beyond what the game documented/ explained to me

Doom and Quake had drop-down command consoles too that let the user change the game's state -- I've included such features in some of my GUI, realtime engine games too. but I would never promote any as a "command line" game

Doom, Quake, and assumedly your games don't use their command line as primary input like this.

The primary way to play Duskers is via scripting in a CLI
