Prepare to dive into the depths of a derelict ring station in Discarded Empire, a unique blend of run-based action platforming and deckbuilding strategy. As a pilot tasked with paying off generational debt, you'll pilot a customizable mech through treacherous environments filled with traps and hostile creatures.
The core gameplay loop revolves around managing your mech's deck. Each run begins with a set of repurposed entertainment cartridges, which form the basis of your combat and traversal abilities.
Drawing and activating these cartridges can yield various effects, from granting credits to purchase new cartridges between stages to providing crucial combat advantages. Success hinges on your ability to strategically build and adapt your deck to overcome the escalating challenges within the Sol Site.
Players will need to master precise platforming while simultaneously making tactical decisions about their deck composition. The procedurally generated nature of the ancient ring station ensures that each descent is a fresh and unpredictable experience, demanding constant adaptation and strategic foresight.
Can you manage your resources, upgrade your mech, and ultimately settle the family's significant debt?
