Stratum Descent

Stratum Descent is a micro rogue-lite deck builder in which you craft cards and explore dungeons across a hex map. You descend through progressively more challenging strata, fighting monsters, visiting cities, encountering events and seeking out the stratum lords. Each stratum has its own theme, monster list and lord.

Build your deck

You can customize cards’ effects and the cost to play them. A card’s rarity determines how much customization it allows, and you can crystalize cards to combine their effects into new, more powerful cards. Status Triggers add conditional effects: each card has a main effect and can trigger additional effects when played. For example, a burn effect melts ice on the target and causes blindness; poison adds weakness if the target is also bleeding; healing increases your regeneration potency; and ice turns water and bleed effects on the target into additional ice.

Explore the strata

Travel from hex to hex, defeat monsters, shop in cities and make decisions at events. Strata grow longer and more difficult as you progress. Defeated monsters can provide relics that empower your character.

Upgrade your character

You can improve your health, energy reserves, drop rate and fragment gain. Before each new journey, equip relics to enhance their effects and strengthen your character for that run.
