Not much to say here, there's not even a trailer, just a one-minute play demonstration. It looks competent enough, both aesthetically and mechanically, and certainly far superior to side-view stuff like Slay the Spire. The devs themselves have said that they were "inspired by tactical games like XCOM and the deck-building mechanics of Slay the Spire", and it looks like they are doing a fine job of combining the two. Also, the game will be playable soon in demo form:

Rise of Humanity demo available during Steam Game Festival

The Hivemind project resulted in the most powerful AI created by mankind. At the time we didn’t know better than letting it control all of our automated work force. A disaster waiting to happen as the AI went rogue.

In Rise of Humanity you take control of a band of odd heroes who so far have survived the onslaught that started 50 years ago. They have discovered that the robots the AI uses to do its bidding are getting weaker and this is the time to strike back.

Each hero (and enemy) is controlled by a deck of cards. This deck gives your characters actions during a mission. Each mission is played out on a hexagonal grid in a strategic turn-based manner. Missions are procedurally built so no mission is ever the same.

Destroying enemies and finishing missions gives you access to new cards for your heroes. You build their deck as you play the game! However if they die, they will lose their progress so every decision counts!

Will you be the one to save humanity and let it rise again from the ashes of this onslaught?

Oh and did we mention we have exploding bunnies in the game?
