As We Descend - The Strategy Roguelike Deckbuilder

[burnt cloak]

Hey card-game peeps. I've been working on As We Descend for the past 4.75 years, and now it's finally ready for people to play—I just set the demo live a week ago!

You can play it here on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3256480/As_We_Descend_Demo/

It's quite different deckbuilder than Balatro, but if you're into strategic plays, resource management, and tactical battles, it'll be right up your alley! So feel free to give the demo a shot and wishlist the game if it looks cool to you, every bit matters and helps make sure Steam recommends the game to other players who are like yourself.

Thanks a bunch to localthunk for bringing deckbuilders to the masses with Balatro by maximizing everyone's collective fun-per-time. Appreciate you letting me post about my game here!

If you have any questions, fire away. I'd be happy to answer them.

I probably wont play it. Im not much of an autobattler fan and heavy machinery art/war art styles just arent my thing. Im kinda weird in that aspect but hey, you cant please everyone

No worries, different strokes for everyone. It's part of the reason why the card-game space is so interesting, because there are many takes on it.

Live in the Difficult Games Bash alongside Balatro! I just patched the game with a huge Demo update, with added difficulty options and challenging new encounters. There's also a speedrun 👀 https://store.steampowered.com/sale/DifficultGamesBash

Time flies, it's the 1-year-anniversary of the closed beta for As We Descend. And launch is sneaking up, it's happening later this month on the 28th! This month and a half has been a crazy time for deckbuilder fans between Starless Abyss, https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1200161589056262165, Monster Train 2, and As We Descend.
