The Depôt

Description

The Depôt is a highly tactical survival boss-battler for 1 to 2 players. Control asymmetric survivors trapped in a semi-conscious, hostile industrial shipyard. To escape, you must confront and dismantle a giant, heavily armed sentry known as the Guardian. Instead of a traditional health bar, the Guardian’s actions are dictated by a decaying and adaptive deck. Every hit dealt by the players removes action cards from the Guardian's deck, altering its future behavior and forcing it through three escalating, unpredictable combat phases. Position is everything on the tight 10x10 grid: take cover behind steel pallets, recharge power generators, and hack terminals while avoiding devastating harmonic feedback and environmental hazards. Whether playing solo (two-handed) or in co-op, every decision leaves a permanent mark. If you fall, you are recycled. If you prevail, you will rewrite the system lines of The Depôt. —description from the publisher
