Hey, this is Kev, game director of Box Dragon. Since launch last May, We're 9 major updates into our Early Access. We just released our most recent one last week.
We also have our deepest discount yet (-33% off, $13.39) in anticipation of the Steam Deckbuilder Fest, so now's a great time to pick it up if you haven't already: As We Descend on Steam
I know some people are hesitant about Early Access games, so we regularly update with monthly patches. We're sitting at 1096 reviews with 87% Very Positive review score.
Right now, we're focused on adding some bigger features into the game:
- The third player Origin, the "Sacrosanct"
- Better controller support so we can upgrade from Steam Deck Playable to Steam Deck Verified.
What's the game like?
As We Descend is a genre-blending strategy roguelike deckbuilder, and players have compared it to Darkest Dungeon, Frostpunk, and even XCOM. You assemble multiple squads of units, each with their own decks, in order to mix-and-match combos to overcome challenging expeditions and bosses. You'll have to defend your City to reach the corrupted core, carefully deciding how you spend your precious resources and time in the the last City of mankind. The choices you make can permanently alter the fate of the City.
The game features a unique two-zone combat system made up of a Guard Zone and a Support Zone; units will occupy one or the other, and can tank in the Guard Zone while gaining powerful bonuses from being in the Support Zone.
If you're into challenging tactical and strategic games, you should feel right at home in As We Descend due to the game's multi-unit management and complex interactions.
Alternatively, if you're a fan of Roguelike Deckbuilders, we packed this to the brim with content so you get nothing short of a great experience even in the early access; the game features two player Origins with radically different playstyles, each sporting 3 exclusive units to that faction and countless unique mechanics. The other 13 units are shared and have a special variant depending on your origin. Split among these units, there are currently over 400 cards. You can complete a full 3-Depth descent to the core, featuring 40 unique enemies and 7 bosses who will try to stop your run.
