As We Descend is a genre blending strategy roguelike deckbuilder; 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 core, carefully deciding how you spend your resources in the City to ensure you have the adequate resources to survive. The game also 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 difficult tactical games like XCOM or Darkest Dungeon, you should feel right at home in As We Descend due to the game's multi-unit management
