In deckbuilder games, the battlefield is everything. You might pick your next fight from a map or stop to buy new cards between encounters, but combat is where the meat of the strategic decisions are made. That doesn’t have to be the case, though, and one new roguelike deckbuilders brings some of the strategy of board games into the mix, asking you to make tough choices and push your luck even in the relative safety of your home base.
You may have already gotten your hands on As We Descend with a Steam Next Fest demo earlier this year. That’s where I first played and enjoyed it. Now, it’s headed to Steam Early Access where it’s expected to stay for about a year, and there’s more to like than ever.
