From BoardGameGeek
Ascension Tactics is a revolutionary new game, pioneering a brand-new genre by combining the best of tactical miniatures games with the fast-paced strategy of deck-building games. Ascension Tactics brings the most iconic characters from the award-winning deck-building game to life as highly-detailed paintable 3D miniatures. Many ways to play! Battle through the campaign mode or try the various PvP, Cooperative, and Solo Scenarios. PvP drafting mode allows players to build their armies before a battle. Players acquire cards from the ever-changing center row to power up their forces. Even the smallest miniature can take down mighty beasts by gaining command points and equipping magical constructs. No dice rolling required! -description from the publisher
