Get Ready for the Into The Grid Playtest: Cyberpunk Roguelike DeckbuilderÂ
Into The Grid playtest for the cyberpunk roguelike deckbuilder game is coming to Linux, Mac, and Windows PC. Thanks to Flatline Studios' skilled team for their hard work. Due to make its way onto Steam. Get ready to dive into something impressive! Into The Grid, a cyberpunk roguelike deckbuilder and dungeon crawler combo is gearing up for a big update. The devs are putting in some serious work on their Combat Prototype and are planning to let us try it out during Steam’s Deckbuilder Fest on Linux, kicking off on March 25th. Right now, Into The Grid is in the early stages, specifically a closed pre-alpha phase, hence the playtest. The focus so far? Card combat and this innovative feature "Commands." This mechanic is a game changer, letting you lessen the impact of not so great draws and the unpredictability that sometimes comes with these types of titles. The first round of testing had over 1000 players, and there are almost 2000 more eagerly waiting to check out the updated version. The team's goal with this test? They want to know what we think about the interface, how the Commands System feels. And also how well they're explaining how to play, whether you're a seasoned player or new to this style.
Into The Grid - Join the Playtest
For the upcoming Playtest, they've spiced things up for Into The Grid. There’s a new tutorial for starters, an improved buff system, fixes for those pesky bugs, and more chances for deckbuilding compared to the first test. What's really interesting is their dual-resource system. Each card you play has an effect and also generates Virtual Memory (VIM). This means you can make the most out of any hand you're dealt. Use your VIM to activate Commands in battle and smash through enemy defenses! The Into The Grid setting is The Grid – a limitless digital world teeming with both treasures and dangers in the playtest. It's a place that rewards sharp thinking. Every decision counts here, making the game deeply strategic. Do you fight or run? Explore this area now or wait? Redeem a reward immediately or save it for something bigger down the line? Every choice has outcomes, both good and bad. Besides this playtest, the team's also working hard on Map Exploration, another key part of the experience, which we'll get to try in future tests. You can get in on the Into The Grid playtest action by requesting access on the Steam page. Don't miss out on this chance to be part of shaping a potentially awesome cyberpunk roguelike deckbuilder on Linux. As well as Mac and Windows PC.
