Description from Steam STEAM

Cobalt Core is a sci-fi roguelike deckbuilder with a unique single-axis combat system that will throw you for a loop. Many loops! Give orders to your crew by playing cards: Will you raise shields to protect your ship, dodge incoming missiles and cannon fire to avoid damage outright, or strike preemptively to disable your enemy’s weapons? Outmaneuver your foes to stay just ahead of impending calamity, and reach the Cobalt Core! 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”. Crank up the difficulty and really test your skills! Daily Challenges – Keep runs fresh with all sorts of modifiers. Can you win with just 1 character, or with your ship scrambling itself every fight? Play at your own pace, or get competitive on the leaderboards! Get in the groove – featuring 90+ minutes of catchy and electrifying original music by Minecraft composer Aaron Cherof! Forward momentum – untangle a narrative and unlock more playstyles as you go. Is there any escape from this time loop?

Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA

Cobalt Core has the player guide a spacecraft piloted by three of eight possible characters through several hostile territories and fighting against other spacecrafts. At first there are only three characters and one spacecraft to choose from, more are unlocked as the player progresses. Each character brings a set of cards related to their expertise that is added to the player's initial deck, and extra cards can be earned by defeating other ships. Over the course of a run, the player can also upgrade or remove cards from their deck. Defeating certain boss ships can also gain artifacts that affect the player's ship as a whole, or boosts the abilities for cards for one of the characters. When in combat, the player generally starts with five cards from a shuffled deck at the start of each round, and three action points to expend in playing cards. Cards can provide attack abilities, defensive shields, or allow the player to shift the spacecraft left or right to avoid incoming fire. The enemy ship's attacks or actions on their upcoming turn are shown to the player, allowing them to plan out their actions. After using all action points and shift actions, the turn is resolved, with the player discarding their hand and gaining a new hand of five cards. Combat continues until either the enemy is destroyed, allowing the player to direct the ship to the next encounter, or the player's ship is destroyed, forcing them to restart the game but giving them the opportunity to select different characters and modifiers.
