S U R V I V E: THE A.I. is a video game RTS that redefines the real-time strategy genre by combining it with a unique card-based system. In this game, players navigate three distinct locations, each with its own effects, and must control at least two of the three Outer Locations to secure victory. The real-time strategy elements are enhanced by the ability to add power through cards, with higher power winning the location. Some cards possess unique abilities that can be strategically utilized to gain the upper hand. Players spend mana to play their cards, with the mana pool increasing by one point each turn, adding a layer of real-time resource management. To further enhance the real-time strategy experience, the game features a special Central Location where the player in the lead receives an additional +1 Mana per turn. The gameplay also includes a Resource System, allowing players to earn three types of resources—Compute, Energy, and Creativity. Each Location generates one resource per turn for the player controlling it, which can be used to activate a card's Awakening ability. Deck building is a crucial aspect of this video game RTS, as players can gather cards from humans, AI, and hybrids to build their team with different Archetype strategies. The game currently recommends 5 unique Archetypes: Copy Field, AI Race Power, Powerful Card, Self-Destroy, and Enemy Destroy. In this video game RTS, cards are categorized into various rarity tiers: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare (SR), and Special Super Rare (SSR). Players can obtain Awakening Skills by dismantling SR and SSR cards, allowing these skills to be equipped on any card. This feature enables players to mix and match skills, creating unique and powerful card combinations. Cards can be acquired through different methods, including drawing cards, shard crafting, and purchasing shop bundles. The game also features a PVP Mode where players can battle real players from around the world, earning Gems and Card Shards to enhance their gameplay. Additionally, players who reach high ranks will have the opportunity to earn Exclusive cosmetics as part of the Season Reward, making competitive play even more rewarding and exciting. The PVE Mode allows players to battle against Zero and the Five AI Ministers, adapting their deck to counter the mechanics of each boss. For instance, using energy-heavy HAI cards when facing AI opponents can be a strategic advantage. With its unique blend of real-time strategy and card-based gameplay, S U R V I V E: THE A.I. offers a fresh and exciting experience in the video game RTS genre.
