Cobalt Core

Cobalt Core is a sci-fi roguelike deckbuilder with a tactical twist based on a single horizontal axis of movement. Players control a spaceship crew, playing cards to move, dodge incoming missiles, and line up cannons to blast enemies out of the sky. The positional, timing-based combat adds a fresh spatial layer to deckbuilding. A charming cast and a time-loop mystery give it narrative flavor between battles. Combining crew abilities and cards into effective turns is central. Its tight design and appealing characters earned strong reviews.
