No Exploding Bunny card in your deck to deal with those robots? A good wallop with an Ice Pick will do the trick as well!

An AI rules the Earth
In Rise of Humanity, card strategy is one of the main features of the video game. Each of the characters has a unique deck, which adapts their skills during the game. As reported in the press release, the game is developed through grids that are generated in a random and procedural way. The objective? Save the world from evil artificial intelligence.
History invites us to control a group of heroes who have survived the tyrannical actions of AI. However, this robotic force is weakening, so they make the decision to step forward with the goal of ending it and reclaiming Earth once and for all. Players must collect cards and battle enemies in hexagonal settings, all while building their own decks and receiving in-game rewards.
