As We Descend developer reveals gameplay deep dive and demo

As a seasoned gamer with years of deck-building and roguelike gaming under my belt, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement upon seeing the latest revelation from Coffee Stain Publishing and Box Dragon about their upcoming game, As We Descend. The strategic twist they’re bringing to this beloved genre has me intrigued, and the fact that I can already get a taste of it through the Steam demo is simply icing on the cake.


As a gaming enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that Coffee Stain Publishing and Box Dragon have unveiled an immersive gameplay sneak peek into their upcoming strategic roguelike deck-builder, titled “As We Descend”. To make the wait even more bearable, they’ve made a playable demo available right now! You can dive in and explore this intriguing world on Steam. Can’t wait to see how it unfolds!

During The Spill, an independent developer’s live stream that showcases games such as Valheim, Satisfactory, and many others, a trailer and demo were unveiled for As We Descend. Game Director Kevin Chang and Satisfactory Community Manager Snutt Treptow shared insights about the game, and provided the first comprehensive look at its gameplay mechanics.

Check out the trailer, below:


 

In “As We Descend,” you’ll find a fresh spin on the popular deckbuilding roguelike genre. Build your team for journeys, navigate treacherous politics, gain support from influential city figures, and confront mysterious adversaries. The gameplay shifts between turn-based card-drafting battles and developing relationships with crucial city figures whose interactions change based on your choices. The city itself evolves and deteriorates in distinctive ways depending on the player’s decisions.

This game is the debut production of Box Dragon, a studio established by ex-developers from Stunlock Studios, namely Kevin Chang and Karl Bergström. The distinctive artwork was created by Aleks Nikonov, a veteran character and environment concept artist who previously worked at Riot Games.

Kevin, Game Director at Box Dragon, was thrilled to unveil our official announcement trailer at The Spill today, a moment he shared with fellow developers, friends, and gamers. This is a fantastic chance to engage with our existing As We Descend fans who’ve already tried the closed beta, and welcome new players through our new Steam demo. We are deeply appreciative of everyone who’s played and offered feedback so far, and I eagerly anticipate receiving more feedback from the demo and continued beta testing, which will help us elevate roguelike deckbuilders even further.

As We Descend is coming to PC.
