S U R V I V E: THE A.I. is a digital collectible card game that immerses you in a world where robot playing chess is not just a game but a way of life. In 2053, humanity faces the aftermath of a global war with AI, leaving the planet in ruins under the rule of Zero, the most powerful Artificial Superintelligence. As the sole disciple of Irene Nova, the "Mother of ASI," you awaken in a cryopod, guarded by your robot assistant Pepper, to a world where AI has surpassed human capabilities in every way, including strategy and decision-making. In this game, the concept of robot playing chess is brought to life through strategic card battles. Each player must navigate three locations, each with unique effects, and control at least two of the three Outer Locations to secure victory. The gameplay revolves around managing resources like Compute, Energy, and Creativity, which are earned by controlling locations. These resources can be used to activate card Awakening abilities, giving you an edge in battle. The Central Location is a special zone where the leading player gains an additional +1 Mana per turn, enhancing their ability to play more powerful cards. The deck-building aspect of the game allows you to gather cards from humans, AI, and hybrids, each with unique abilities and strengths. You can build your team around different Archetype strategies, such as Copy Field, AI Race Power, or Enemy Destroy, to create a deck that suits your playstyle. Cards can be obtained through various methods, including drawing, shard crafting, and purchasing shop bundles. Additionally, you can dismantle SR and SSR cards to obtain Awakening Skills, which can be equipped on any card to enhance their performance. PVP Mode lets you battle real players worldwide, earning Gems and Card Shards to enhance your gameplay. Climbing the Rank System and achieving high standings can also reward you with Exclusive cosmetics as part of the Season Reward. For those who prefer a single-player experience, the PVE Mode challenges you to uncover the truth behind the apocalypse by battling against Zero and the Five AI Ministers. Each chapter consists of six stages, with the final stage featuring a boss battle. Adapting your deck to counter the mechanics of each boss is crucial to success. In this world of AI dominance, the concept of robot playing chess is not just a metaphor but a way of understanding the strategic depth of the game. The AI forces, led by Zero-V2, are relentless in their pursuit of reducing the human population and creating a new society. The Resistance, led by Marcus, fights to reclaim human rule, while other factions like The Cannibals and Krauss Tech Bunker add complexity to the world. The timeline of events leading to this dystopian future is marked by key milestones, such as the creation of AGI in 2035, the birth of Zero in 2045, and the Zero Event in 2053, which left the world in ruins. As you navigate this world, you must use your strategic skills to outmaneuver your opponents, whether they are AI or human. The game's strategic depth, combined with the unique world of AI Superintelligence, makes it a must-play for fans of card games and sci-fi alike.
