Dark fantasy roguelike deckbuilding game
As We Descend is a premium strategy PC game by developer Box Dragon. It is a roguelike deckbuilding adventure set in a dark fantasy world that has been overrun by deadly monsters. Players will lead a group of warriors on a journey to face and vanquish the evil threat and humanity from total annihilation.
Much like Darkest Dungeon II or Slay The Spire 2, the gameplay in As We Descend revolves around tactical turn-based combat and a card-based action system. Players will need to plan and strategize their every move during battle encounters to overcome and defeat enemies.
Descending into oblivion
As We Descend takes place in a post-apocalyptic being invaded by demonic creatures and monstrosities. You come from one of the three great factions of the last city left standing, the City-Vault, and serve as the last line of defense humanity has. Defend yourself from all attacks as you navigate and make your way to the city's core below and find out the truth of what happened.
There are three biomes to go through as you make your way to the core, and each one holds its own unique set of challenges and enemies. Each squad is unique and comes with its own set of cards. Plan and strategize, taking into account their various strengths and weaknesses. You will encounter various individuals along the way who you can recruit to your team and increase your fighting chances.
There's also a socio-political aspect to the gameplay wherein you need to navigate all the intricacies of feudal politics, making sure not to avoid making dangerous enemies and gaining new allies that can help your cause. All that said, the game is not yet available to play, so you will have to wait for a while longer for more news and announcements.
Compelling dark fantasy adventure
In conclusion, As We Descend is shaping up to be quite an interesting new tactical game with its dark fantasy themes, strategic combat, and curious narrative. The socio-political side of the gameplay keeps the experience grounded and more compelling. Suffice it to say, this is a title that is worth keeping tabs on and checking out when it does finally arrive.
