Overview:
20241021:
Next up on the demos I have downloaded is As We Descend. It will also be the last demo for the day as I'm feeling sleepy.
Setup: Mouse. Initially ultrawide, but then a function for rerolling a card didn't work until I resized the screen to 1920x1080.
Steam Game Time: 64 minutes
First Impressions:
The game says there is no tutorial, which I love it being upfront about. But in fact, the options for play are intuitive and the game mostly eases the player in. The player can also opt into learning about the mechanics by choosing dialogue to learn more.
One element I didn't quite get was healing. Units heal at a base rate when they are not used in battle and at a reduced rate when they are. However, that is likely my fault for not fully understanding the instructions. A different aspect, however, which was less obvious to understand was the usage of favors. It became apparent during my last battle (in which I depleted my favors and losing the battle) that some cards have a favor cost in addition to the heat cost.
While I spent some time with the game, I felt there was just too much reading involved.
Demo Rating: 4.2 out of 5
