Cobalt Core v1.2.4a

Cobalt Core is a sci‑fi roguelike deckbuilder that delivers an entirely fresh take on tactical combat. In this game, you command your crew by playing cards and making split‑second decisions. Will you raise shields to protect your ship, dodge incoming missile and cannon fire to evade damage, or strike preemptively to disable your enemy’s weapons? With a unique single‑axis combat system, every encounter is a high‑stakes game of cat and mouse as you maneuver to stay one step ahead of impending disaster.

The game offers a deep level of customization with hundreds of cards and branching upgrade paths, ensuring that no two runs are ever the same. Choose your crew from a diverse cast of characters—each with a unique playstyle and personal story—and mix and match their decks to unlock devastating combos. Before even starting a run, you can experiment with hundreds of different character and ship combinations, dialing up the difficulty to truly test your strategic skills.

In addition to varied gameplay, Cobalt Core features daily challenges that introduce a host of modifiers. Whether you're playing at your own pace or aiming for a top spot on the leaderboards, these challenges keep the action fresh and the pressure high.

Enhancing the experience is over 90 minutes of catchy, electrifying original music composed by Aaron Cherof, known for his work on Minecraft. As you progress through the game, you'll untangle a mysterious narrative, unlocking new playstyles and uncovering secrets about the enigmatic time loop surrounding the Cobalt Core.
