Into the Grid, a cyberpunk roguelike deck builder developed by Little Orbit, recently released a captivating demo on PC. This hands-on experience offers a tantalizing glimpse into a unique blend of grid-based hacking, strategic combat, and stylish cyberpunk aesthetics.
The core gameplay loop revolves around navigating interconnected grids, hacking nodes for resources, and engaging in dynamic card-based combat.
This innovative fusion sets Into the Grid apart from traditional roguelikes and deck builders. The grid-based hacking mechanic is arguably the most distinctive aspect of the demo.
Players traverse interconnected grids, each node representing a distinct function – power sources, data centers, security systems, and more.
Hacking these nodes requires careful planning and resource management. Combat encounters punctuate the grid-based exploration.
