Cobalt Core

Pixelated Playgrounds

Bryan and Josh recently got stuck in a time loop out in deep space and wound up playing a lot of cards trying to fight their way out… in other words: For this episode they played Cobalt Core! Even in a crowded genre like the roguelike deckbuilder, sometimes a game can do so many things right (and a few things transcendently) that it breaks through the noise to become a new favorite. Rocket Rat’s second game (and second IGF nominee) was such a game. What it brings to the table in terms of novel mechanics and quick satisfying gameplay loops, is supported in spades by some truly outstanding music by composer Aaron Cherof and charming writing by the team. So buckle in and get ready for another loop with Bryan and Josh as they discuss the intergalactic hi-jinks of Cobalt Core!
