Cobalt Core Reviews

Good deckbuilder with fun characters.

while the game-play of this game is great, it's slow restart, and brutal difficulty that ends up with you restarting a lot just made me frustrated with the game more then enjoying it.

Good game. Entertaining, and satisfying storyline for a roguelike. Good card mechanics, enticing way of presentation and use. (And I'm not much into card-based games myself.) Worth the price~

A deckbuilding roguelike that takes a few notes from Slay the Spire, but a bit easier to start with and a bit more narrative driven. Tidy wee game so far, worth picking up! Also, the dialogue is very quippy so far, I like it

This is an awesome little deckbuilder with some fun positioning mechanics and a decent bit of difficulty. Runs come together pretty easily and it's not too hard to get that Slay the Spire style OP synergy if you know what you're doing. The cast of mentally ill furries is also quite endearing. Will not hold water forever, so complete the main body of content then come back every once in a while. 8/10

This game is great! Super fun deckbuilder ship combat. On top of that, the characters are very cute and the dialogue is fun and funny as well. Recommended!

Solid and charming game for those who have already played (and loved) Slay the Spire, Faster than Light, and Griftlands (and all their mods) to death. Most importantly, the strategy and balance is surprisingly good. Rarely have I failed from bad RNG alone on normal difficulty and it took quite a few runs before I occasionally hit an OP build that trivialized the challenge, and at that point you can just up the difficulty. The characters interact tactically (and socially) in some fun and interesting ways. I wish there was more but what is there is good. For literally 2D characters their personalities are not 2 dimensional; they have great banter, but again I only wish there was more. Story is ok but not great, more than StS and perhaps FTL but much less than Griftlands. UI is ok, good enough, but for example there are only rudimentary and uncustomizable keybindings. Seems light on content for the asking price, and even on sale I would say to buy the above mentioned games first, but after that this is a charming addition to the genre. Ill update if they add more content or mod support, which would turn this into a great deal.

Great roguelike deckbuilder with options for ships/crew that affect what cards/upgrades are available. It's a ton of fun! If you like Slay the Spire (and possibly FTL) it's definitely worth a shot. Great soundtrack, too.

Solid roguelike that uses the loop structure of roguelikes to tell a story. Love the sci-fi theme, and the ship combat and movement system offer some fun and unique gameplay that differentiates it from deck builder roguelikes. Fun experience, would recommend giving it a try.

I played this game a few times and didn't understand how to play. I kept dying. But then I figured out that movement points don't need to be spent that turn. You can click on a movement card and save the movement points for a different turn. Game became much easier once I figured that out. And now I understand why it's one of the highest rated games on Steam. Lots of fun.
