As We Descend News

As We Descend is a deft mix of XCOM and Slay the Spire, and you can try it now

If there's one thing I love, it's games that mix deckbuilders, roguelikes, and strategy. Between Slay the Spire, Dead Cells, and XCOM there are a handful of games that bring me immense delight any time I get to write about them. Thankfully, Valheim and Deep Rock Galactic publisher Coffee Stain just showed off more of As We Descend, an eclectic mix of all these stalwart genres. That's not all, though, as you can try this incredible-looking mashup right now thanks to a new Steam demo.

Watch our official announcement trailer on the SPILL

We're organizing the SPILL! And As We Descend will be participating in a big way; we're dropping our OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT TRAILER. We also have another major announcement so tune in!

So just what is the SPILL? It's a live-stream of our dev hangout at Satisfactory's place on October 8th where we'll spill the news on our games and chat about pretty much everything. It's a grassroots event, and we've pulled in 10 studios we're friends with. We've put a few teasers on www.the-SPILL.com to give you a hint of what's to come.

If you want to make sure you don't miss anything we're spilling, set a reminder for this post or follow us on your choice of twitch and youtube!

We'll see you at the SPILL!

Cheers,
