S U R V I V E: THE A.I. is a digital collectible card game that emphasizes the importance of card design in shaping gameplay experiences. Each card is meticulously crafted to represent unique characters, abilities, and factions in a post-apocalyptic world where Artificial Superintelligence has taken over. The card design process focuses on creating visually stunning and strategically deep cards, ensuring that players can build diverse decks tailored to their playstyle. The game features five unique Archetypes—Copy Field, AI Race Power, Powerful Card, Self-Destroy, and Enemy Destroy—each with its own card design philosophy. For instance, the Copy Field Archetype emphasizes cheap units that grow stronger as more cards are played, while the AI Race Power Archetype focuses on empowering AI tribe cards. This diversity in card design allows players to explore various strategies and adapt to different in-game scenarios. In addition to Archetypes, the card design incorporates a rarity system, with cards categorized into Common, Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare (SR), and Special Super Rare (SSR). Higher rarity cards often come with unique Awakening Skills, which can be equipped on any card after dismantling SR and SSR cards. This feature adds a layer of customization to card design, enabling players to create unique and powerful card combinations. The card design also plays a crucial role in the game's PVP and PVE modes. In PVP, players can test their deck-building skills against real opponents, earning rewards such as Gems and Card Shards to further enhance their card collection. In PVE, the card design must adapt to the mechanics of each boss, requiring players to strategically choose cards that align with their strengths and weaknesses. For example, using energy-heavy HAI cards when facing AI opponents can significantly improve chances of success. The art and lore behind each card are deeply intertwined with the game's storyline, offering players a immersive experience. Whether you're battling against Zero's AI ministers or navigating the wasteland, the card design ensures that every interaction feels meaningful and connected to the world of S U R V I V E: THE A.I.
