About the Game

What separates Crash the Core from other deck builders is the variety of card types which include: Abilities, Summons, Gadgets, Weapons, and Consumables. For example, Summons can either attack to deal damage or defend you with their shield, Gadgets have a powerful and unique effect but they require energy and use durability. You can combine any of the card types however you like to create a unique build every time.

Customize Your Playstyle

The more missions you play the more Renown your agency will receive. You can use Renown to unlock new starter cards and unlock new specialties which you can use to create your own unique class.

Don't take on your missions alone have a player join you in local coop mode and take on missions together but you can also play online with Steam's Remote Play feature! There is no disadvantage or advantage to playing with others so go ahead enjoy the co-op experience.
