The struggle for survival on a freezing planet is about to get even fiercer! Last Days of Old Earth receives its first major Content Update with the addition of the Deck Builder!
Now players have the chance to build their own decks! Customize armies and forge grand strategies by choosing between tons of heroes and units. This whole new mode allows players to create decks around a specific play-style, then fight enemies in the online multiplayer or single player Skirmish mode.
Players can also import decks from the newly made Last Days of Old Earth official site!
The game is currently in Early Access and the Deck Building update is one of four major updates following the initial launch.
This first major update comes with many bug fixes and tweaks, with the developers – Auroch Digital – working hard behind the scenes to further improve the core game in every aspect.
About This Game
THE FIGHT FOR A DYING SUN
There is no space for defeat. Defeat means death on the battlefield or the end of our search for the last rays of a dying sun. We must escape the bitter, glacial wasted lands of Northwalk and find a new home. A new future.
Last Days of Old Earth is a turn-based strategy game set in a far future world where the sun is dying. The remnants of humanity must migrate once a generation towards the equator where it is still warm enough to sustain life.
Spiritual successor to the cult classic PC game Armageddon Empires, Last Days of Old Earth invites you to become the leader of the human Skywatchers or the robotic Automata, two fundamentally opposed factions. In a hostile environment, where natural resources are almost depleted, you must fight your way to survive for one more turn. With scarcity goes rivalry, and only the law of the wild applies in this icy and desolate world.
