Description

Cobalt Core is a sci-fi roguelike deckbuilder with a deep new single-axis combat system! Dodge missiles, line up your cannons, and blast your enemies out of the sky! Then get to the bottom of these time loops, before it's too late…

Features

  • Fresh new spin on tactics – dodge attacks and target weak points in this unique single-axis take on tactics combat. Outwit the enemy in a high stakes game of cat and mouse!
  • Customize your deck – hundreds of cards and split upgrade paths means no two runs will be the same. Find that perfect combo that brings your deck from powerful to overpowered.
  • Get to know your crew – each character comes with a completely unique playstyle and their own personal story. Bring 3 along, mix and match their decks, and see how these little goobers get along with each other.
  • Tons of replayability – hundreds of different character+ship combinations before you even hit “start run”. Keep it fresh with daily challenge runs and variable difficulty levels!
  • Forward momentum – untangle a narrative and unlock more playstyles as you go. Is there any escape from this time loop?
  • Get in the groove – featuring 90+ minutes of catchy and electrifying original music by Minecraft composer Aaron Cherof!
