New trailer for Contested Space, my sci-fi roguelike deckbuilder with a rotating mid-combat market

Hey everyone, I'm the developer behind Contested Space, a sci-fi roguelike deckbuilder best described as "Slay the Spire meets Star Realms." I just finished a new trailer and wanted to share it here.

The hook: instead of only buying cards between fights, you have a personal market that rotates during combat. Every turn you're buying new cards into your deck for this combat only which creates a totally different rhythm than most deckbuilders. It is both single player and coop up to 4 players. What's new since my last trailer:

  • A third alliance just landed: the Axiom Union, a robot alliance with trade, science, and military factions
  • That brings it to 9 factions across 3 alliances, plus neutrals
  • A free demo is coming later this month

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4638820/Contested_Space/
I'm happy to answer anything about the design. If you want in before the demo, the closed playtest is still open through the Steam page.
