Developer Box Dragon and publisher Coffee Stain have announced the release date for apocalyptic roguelike deckbuilder As We Descend, which is launching into Early Access next month.
Per a press release, As We Descend will land on PC via Steam Early Access on March 27th, and since we're at the start of the latest Steam Next Fest event right now, you can try the game out for free on that same platform if you like.
In As We Descend, you'll be thrust "into an apocalyptic future to shape the fate of a submerging civilization at the end of the world". It'll be your job to oversee "a city on the edge of extinction" while also sending expeditions beyond the city's walls to see what lies in wait for you.
You'll be gathering resources to keep your city alive, all while navigating "feudal politics" and building relationships with those around you in order to compel them to your cause.
Beyond the city management aspect of As We Descend, it'll also offer "challenging card-based combat" for which you can recruit "a variety of squads with unique card sets and abilities", allowing for a number of different combinations and strategies.
