As We Descend

About

As We Descend is a turn-based strategy game layered with deckbuilding and roguelike elements. You command a faction in a crumbling underground city, balancing resource management with tactical combat. Each battle requires arranging units on a grid, using a procedurally generated deck of abilities to outthink hordes of invading threats. Progress hinges on tough choices, prioritize upgrading weapons, fortifying walls, or recruiting new allies. The city itself feels like a living threat, its politics and secrets demanding as much attention as the frontlines. What sets it apart is the tension between long-term planning and immediate survival. With Coffee Stain Publishing on board and a 2025 release date, the game leans into its developer’s knack for tight systems. The blend of deckbuilding and unit positioning creates a rhythm that rewards adaptability, while the post-apocalyptic setting avoids over-explaining itself. For now, it’s a strategy title that trusts players to figure things out, and punishes or rewards them accordingly.
