It's a bit surprising that we haven't seen more projects that put together two genres as massively popular as deckbuilders and strategy games. The former style of design has given us everything from Monster Train 2 to Slay the Spire while the latter includes Against the Storm, Total War: Pharaoh, Age of Empires 4, and so much more. As We Descend takes notes from both types of game, blending them into something new that you can now check out for yourself with its Early Access launch on Steam today.

As We Descend has been on our radar for a while now thanks to its clever mash-up of the strategy, roguelike, and card game genres. It looks a lot like a traditional strategy game, with an emphasis placed on assembling armies from different unit types and deploying them to fight enemies in tactical combat.

These battles, though, are played out with cards, the units assembled as a carefully constructed deck. It's also a roguelike, where various elements, like the resources needed to upgrade or recruit units, can change from one run to the next.

In its current Early Access version, players can get a good sample of what the full game will entail. At launch, two of the three player origins are available and, per the game's Steam page, "the structure and core mechanics of the game are already present now."
