About

Cobalt Core is a science fiction roguelike deckbuilder published by Brace Yourself Games and developed by Rocket Rat Games. The title was released on November 8, 2023, and falls within the indie and strategy genres. Players can experience this single-player campaign without needing to connect with others online. The game features a unique single-axis combat system that requires players to dodge missiles, line up cannons, and target weak points. You issue orders to your crew by playing cards, choosing between raising shields, avoiding incoming fire, or striking preemptively to disable enemy weapons. This tactical approach creates a high stakes game of cat and mouse as you outmaneuver your foes to stay ahead of impending calamity. Customization is central to the experience, with hundreds of cards and split upgrade paths ensuring no two runs are identical. Players can find the perfect combo that brings their deck from powerful to overpowered throughout multiple loops. The main story takes approximately 26 hours to complete, while including extras extends playtime to around 30 hours. For those aiming for full completion, the total length reaches about 32 hours.

Tight, inventive gameplay, cascading card synergies, and gentle, witty character-writing ensure that, while Cobalt Core might not slay Slay the Spire, it does indeed slay.

Delightful deckbuilding that uses starship travel to build upon the Slay the Spire formula instead of merely imitating it. Outstanding.
