Box Dragon

Box Dragon is a Swedish PC game development studio based in Gothenburg. Its work combines systems-driven gameplay with distinctive visual design, focusing on tactical decision-making, card-based combat and original worlds. The studio was incorporated in September 2019 and publicly unveiled in August 2021, with majority backing and publishing support from the Coffee Stain group.

Its debut game, As We Descend, is an apocalyptic tactical roguelike deckbuilder set around a feudal subterranean vault city. Players combine card drafting with squad positioning and resource management, bringing together decisions about individual encounters and the management of a wider group. Stylized post-apocalyptic art and world-building support the game's strategy-focused design.

Following closed beta testing and a demo reveal during The Spill broadcast in late 2024, As We Descend entered Steam Early Access on May 28, 2025, published by Coffee Stain Publishing.

The studio's development capabilities span game design, systems programming, narrative design, art direction and animation. Community-driven playtesting forms part of its development process, alongside its focus on tactical and turn-based systems, squad management and roguelike card battles.
