As We Descend

As We Descend is a turn-based strategy card game. It is set between a medieval and post-apocalyptic industrial era, where humanity awakens from its slumber thanks to an entity called AVA, a divine persona guiding humanity through this unknown crisis. The world has been corrupted by spores, which have changed both the environment and the living creatures within it. You have been elected by the Troika, the ruling system of the city, to manage the crisis. Tasked with investigation and defense, you are sent on a quest to protect the city.

The game is composed of two phases: the City Phase and the Exploration Phase. In the Exploration Phase, you travel from node to node to explore and fight, gaining rewards, uncovering the depths of corruption, and upgrading your deck. Monsters of increasing strength regularly invade the city until the arrival of the boss wave. In the City Phase, you can interact with various citizens and trade looted items from combat for cards or upgrades. Random events can also occur.

The game features three thematic biomes, each with unique enemies and distinct mechanics that require the player to adapt.
