About the game
What you do in a play session
Get your gear ready, because things are about to get intense in The Depôt! Imagine you and a partner are trapped in a hostile, semi-conscious industrial shipyard, and your only way out is to dismantle the 'Guardian' — a massive, heavily armed mech. But forget everything you know about-traditional health bars. In this game, the boss is controlled by an AI deck that evolves as you fight. Every successful hit removes cards from the Guardian's deck, forcing the-AI to adapt and shifting the-combat into three-escalating-and-unpredictable phases. It's a dynamic-dance of destruction!
Tactics are everything on the 10x10 grid. You can't just rush in blindly; you'll need to use-steel pallets for cover, manage power-generators, and hack terminals to stay in the game. One wrong move and environmental hazards or harmonic feedback will wipe you out. With asymmetric survivors offering unique-abilities,-coordination is key. If you love tactical boss-battlers where positioning and hand-management determine your survival, this-is your next obsession. It's fast, it's tense, and it's all about outsmarting the machine!
