Ascension Tactics: Miniatures Deckbuilding Game

A hybrid of tactical miniatures and deck-building, this game places paintable 3D figures on a battlefield while players construct and refine decks to power their units. Players fight through campaign maps or choose from PvP, cooperative, and solo scenarios. Before battles, a drafting mode lets players assemble armies; during play they acquire cards from a shifting center row to grant abilities, equipment, and command points to minis. Combat resolves without dice, relying on card-driven actions and resource management as even small figures can gain upgrades and defeat larger foes.
