As We Descend Demo

Play the opening section of the As We Descend run in this demo version.

As We Descend is a strategy roguelike deckbuilder: you must play your cards right in both the city and the battlefield. Overcome all challenges to safeguard humanity's descent.

Assemble your forces

Recruit new squads of units by utilizing scavenged technology. Each squad is a unique archetype with its own set of cards which can be added, removed, and upgraded. Deploy the right composition of forces in order to tailor your deck for success against each battle encounter.

Plan and strategize

The city is the last bastion of humanity and serves as your main base. Familiarize yourself with its denizens so you can survive its feudal politics and gain allies. Roll the dice to compel those in the city to your cause. Make the most of your limited time and resources so you can prepare sufficiently for the future.

Outsmart your foes

Against titanic enemies, you must rely on not just strength but wit. Adapt your tactics by reacting to enemy intents. Master the combat zone system: reposition your forces between the Guard Zone and the Support Zone in order to dodge enemy attacks and set up a defensive line.

React to randomized runs

Each descent is a new challenge, pitting you against a new face of the twisting world as you attempt to break through to the core. New allies and encounters await you. Even if you fail, you will uncover more secrets and begin the next journey with more knowledge and tools to delve ever deeper.
