What is As We Descend?

You defend humanity's last city in a single-player roguelike deckbuilder set after an apocalypse. You recruit squads with their own card sets, modify your deck, and reposition units in turn-based expedition battles. Between runs, you navigate city politics, seek allies, and manage limited time and resources.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy building card synergies around different unit types
  • +you like balancing tactical battles with scarce resource decisions

Not for you if...

  • −you want battles without city management between them
  • −you prefer a continuous campaign over repeated expedition runs
