About the Game

ABOUT

Catalyst Core is a grid-based roguelike deckbuilder where every move sets up your next combo. Infuse your cards with Pyro, Hydro or Dendro to transform ordinary attacks into elemental abilities, trigger powerful Elemental Reactions, and collect Elemental Cores to build devastating synergies. Adapt your deck, master the battlefield, and discover a new strategy every run.

FEATURES

Transform any card by infusing it with Pyro, Hydro or Dendro. Build your own elemental arsenal instead of relying on predefined cards.

  • Chain Elemental Reactions

Combine different elements to trigger powerful reactions. Plan your turns carefully and unleash explosive combo chains.

  • Elemental Core System

Collect Elemental Cores that enhance your elements, reactions, and playstyle. Every Core opens up new build possibilities.

  • Grid-Based Tactical Combat

Position yourself on the battlefield to maximize attacks, control enemies, and create the perfect setup for your elemental combos.

  • Unique Builds Every Run

Draft new cards, discover powerful synergies, and adapt your strategy through randomized encounters and rewards.
