Cardinal Sequence

Cardinal Sequence is a cosmic rogue-lite deckbuilder where you play cards by entering sequences of directional commands. You chain abilities, build synergies and use combos to score points, trigger special effects and take on increasingly difficult challenges.

Play cards with sequences

Your hand acts as a command console. Enter patterns of up, down, left and right to activate cards and uncover tactical possibilities. Each card introduces mechanics, effects and opportunities for synergy that can reshape your strategy from run to run.

Cards and progression

You can unlock a large arsenal of cards by completing achievements and conquering higher difficulties. Rare variants and hidden legendary cards can greatly increase your scores. Earn tokens to buy permanent upgrades that strengthen future runs and open new strategies as you work through all 10 escalating difficulty tiers.

Space atmosphere

The game pairs cosmic visuals and ambient sci-fi music with a calming hyperspace setting. Each run offers the potential to push your score to extreme heights.
