"It reminds me so much of Slay the Spire" is both such a compliment; but so - so high of expectations. Yes, Cobalt Core is a roguelike deck builder with multiple classes. No, it's unforutnatly not the pinical of the genera like the aforementioned Spire Slaying game.

Cobalt core is fun. It's cute. There is a lot of replayability because at it's core you get to mix and match three crew members to start your run. These three crew members make up what cards are in your deck. So you can select your favorite character's mechanic and integrate them with others in unique, fun, and highly replayable ways. The replayability is good, because if you want to get to the credits you have to win 18 runs.

God of War Valhalla? 4 runs.
Hades? 10 runs.
Cobalt Core? 18. EIGHT. TEEN. It's, a lot. If you're not super into it.

In addition to mixing and matching your crew, there are 5 unique ships each with unique mechanics to set out on your journey with.

I loved the world and the characters and the new take on the genera. It's good. Not every game has to be the best. But it has some flaws from keeping it in the same tier as the others.
