How it plays

How does it play?

Recruit and upgrade a cyberpunk mercenary line, then watch its combos resolve against every rival in a simultaneous tabletop autobattler.

Core mechanisms

Key systems that shape the decisions players make.

Read the full game description

A.I.Pokalypse compresses the planning and spectacle of a digital autobattler into a card game for one to eight players. During simultaneous recruitment, players fill fighting slots with humans, mechs, mutants, and rogues, permanently improve units, and combine triples into powerful special units. Battle then activates the assembled lines automatically against every opponent, while held cards, ammunition, and unit abilities still offer tactical influence. Losing can enlarge the pool of special recruits, but it also costs health, creating a tense race to unleash a winning engine before elimination. Solo, cooperative, and campaign play broaden the same core system.
