About this game

What this game is, in the developer's words

Card Coder is a card-building roguelike: A novel mix of tactical card battles, inventory management and roguelike deckbuilding, where YOU create custom cards during play. Loot, shop & collect modular ability components to make truly unique cards out of 10 billion possibilities.

Card Coder merges tactical card battles, inventory management and roguelike deck-building with a novel twist: Create your own custom cards during each run by constructing cybernetically enhanced warriors from all over the galaxy. Defeat challenging enemies to loot, shop and collect many different ability components. Slot them into your cards to define their behavior according to your playstyle:

      

Discover, research and unlock a large variety of components to construct over 10 billion different cards. Build up your engine and cause powerful chain-reactions across the board. Use everything to your advantage and crush your enemies in challenging rogue-like runs, high-stakes gauntlets and other game-modes to be unlocked. But keep your Commander alive at all costs!

  • Upgrade the rarity of ability components by merging duplicates to gain stats bonuses and powerful status auras.

  • Discover unique recipes: Certain combinations of ability components provide an additional bonus.
