About Crash the Core
Crash the Core is a deck-building game where you combine different card types to create a build for each run. You can play missions alone or take them on with another player in local co-op or through Steam Remote Play. The game gives no advantage or disadvantage for playing with others.
Cards and builds
The game has five card types: Abilities, Summons, Gadgets, Weapons and Consumables. Summons can attack to deal damage or defend you with a shield. Gadgets have powerful, unique effects, but require energy and use durability. You can combine any of the card types to shape your build.
Renown and specialties
Playing missions earns Renown for your agency. You can spend it to unlock starter cards and specialties, which you use to create your own class.
