Catalyst Core

Catalyst Core is a grid-based roguelike deckbuilder where you plan each move to set up your next combo. You infuse cards with Pyro, Hydro or Dendro to turn ordinary attacks into elemental abilities, trigger Elemental Reactions and collect Elemental Cores that build synergies.

Tactical combat

Position yourself on the grid to maximize attacks, control enemies and prepare elemental combos. Combining different elements triggers reactions, and carefully planned turns can unleash chains of combos.

Build your deck

You can infuse any card with Pyro, Hydro or Dendro, creating your own elemental arsenal rather than relying on predefined cards. Collect Elemental Cores to enhance your elements, reactions and playstyle; each Core opens up new build possibilities.

New strategies each run

Draft cards and discover synergies as you adapt your strategy through randomized encounters and rewards. Each run offers new build possibilities.
