'Haxity' Early Access Update Improves AI, Adds Balance Updates And Fixes

by Rainier on Aug. 6, 2020 @ 8:42 a.m. PDT

Haxity is a cyberpunk, roguelite, action deck-builder where you draft your deck, modify your fighter and outsmart your opponent, whether it be online, challenging friends or against AI.

Haxity seeks to deliver a never-before-seen card gaming experience, while being one of the very first PVP movers in the exciting new action deck-builder genre. A genre of card games where a major part of the gameplay is to draft cards and modify your deck as you play.

In Haxity you jack into a gritty cyberpunk sprawl, where a mixed bag of derelicts are fighting to survive the daily grind. This is where you come in, the player. You must survive the city, work your way up the ranks and find the optimal strategy to crush your foes. At your disposal is a hefty amount of cool gadgets, black market technologies and hacks.

The cards can be mixed, mashed and hacked, and the outcome can turn around…really fast. It’s street fighting, the cyberpunk way. It has the combos and powerful emotions of a fighting game, mixed with the mind-games and depth of card games. In short; a digital card game where every move you make is decided with cards, and where every playthrough is different.

Megapop Games has announced that the AI Uprising update for Haxity is available on Steam Early Access.

This is the second major update for the game after it’s Early Access release half a month ago and introduces a revamp to AI enemy characters’ behavior and strategies for Campaign mode, specially improving the experience for new players, and general balance updates and fixes. 

With the new changes AI now tries to predict which hacks you might hold, while using that knowledge to figure out a good play sequence. It does so using an improved algorithm for  determining how strong its position is, compared to the player.

'The AI is now playing smarter with the Hacks they have, and are now mimicking a human opponent to a larger degree. You can expect the AI to do proper setups, baits, feints and in general not waste hacks,’ said Christian Tellefsen, CTO at Megapop Games. 

In addition, an AI can now gain specific preferences. Some Ais might like playing particular cards or combos, even if they are perhaps not the strongest possible. Players will be able to watch out for this to use it to their advantage! 

Haxity is currently available through Steam Early Access.
