ABOUT

Catalyst Core is a grid-based roguelike deckbuilder where every move sets up your next combo.

Adapt your deck, master the battlefield, and discover a new strategy every run.

  • Elemental Core System

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

  • Unique Builds Every Run

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