CodeHeretic studio announced that on September 24th they will release the first AAAAA card strategy. According to the developer, Against The Moon has combined all the most popular indie game mechanics, a fascinating setting and an exciting story full of hidden meanings.
From the very beginning we were aiming to create the AAAAA project. A very cool game that will bring together literally all the most popular mechanics. As a result, we got a card strategy with elements of RPG, Roguelike and deck builders. All this is in a fascinating setting of post-apocalypse and with a deep plot that combines multiculturalism and environmental issues. The player doesn’t control a single chosen one, but a whole intelligent city inhabited by the chosen heroes — Ultori. In each battle, three heroes fight on three battle lines, each with their own ultimates and combat units. Who will win, and who will be sacrificed for the survival of humanity depends only on the player.

Release date: 24th September (Steam and Gog.com)
Platforms: PC/macOS
Price: $19.99
Intelligent city
The player takes the role of the ancient intelligent city of Arx that’s opposing the Moon itself and hordes of its minions. Gather resources, place heroes and their units on the battlefield, and when the energy reaches the limit, make a decisive ultimate to scatter the hordes of monsters.
Three main heroes, three battle lines
Instead of one chosen hero, the player simultaneously controls three, each with unique ultimates, combat units and story. Each battle takes place simultaneously on three lines. Defend all at once, sacrificing a character for the sake of a greater assault on the other lines or set up a tactical trap for a bloodthirsty monster — such decisions have to be made every five minutes of the game.
Upgrade everything
Players like to level up characters. In Against the Moon you can upgrade both the main characters, their faithful companions and even spells. Choose from more than 100 cards, each of them can be upgraded in several opposite directions. Each player can collect a unique deck suited to their playstyle.
Enemies become more dangerous with every try
With each playthrough, the player's squad will encounter more and more bizarre and strong opponents. Some know how to teleport, others strike a sudden blow, and others take some time, but then turn into a very strong monster. The player must adapt and look for weaknesses to maintain their chances of survival.
Game modes
AAAAA is impossible to achieve with only a single game mode. Code heretic prepared three modes with different trials. Fight, learn and accumulate resources in Roguelike mode. Defeat the trickiest opponents and upgrade characters in the monster hunts, and when you are ready to save humanity — go on a story adventure!
