As We Descend

As We Descend is a strategy roguelike deckbuilder set in an apocalyptic world. You build and use decks both on dangerous expeditions beneath the surface and in the last city of humankind, the City-Vault, where you represent one of its three great factions and hold the key to its fate.

Build your forces

You recruit squads using scavenged technology. Each squad has a distinct archetype and its own cards, which you can add, remove and upgrade. Choose a composition suited to each battle encounter, then adapt your tactics by responding to enemy intents.

Combat takes place across two zones. Move your forces between the Guard Zone and the Support Zone to dodge attacks and establish a defensive line against titanic enemies.

Prepare in the City-Vault

The city is humanity’s last bastion and your main base. Get to know its denizens, navigate its feudal politics and seek allies. You can roll the dice to compel people in the city to join your cause, while managing limited time and resources to prepare for what lies ahead.

Descend beneath the surface

Each descent brings challenges, including the struggle to survive the post-apocalypse. Scavenge resources to defend and upgrade as you try to break through three biomes and reach the core, where rewards and mysteries await. Failure still reveals secrets, and each new journey begins with more knowledge and tools to take you deeper.

As the first and last line of defense for the city walls, you must hold the line while outmaneuvering the city’s politics and uncovering its deepest secrets.
