Catalyst Core reached version 1.0 on Steam on November 11. The solo-developed roguelike gives players a grid to fight on and a deck whose cards can take on elemental properties. Infusing a card with Pyro, Hydro or Dendro changes what it can do in combat. Combining those elements produces reactions, so positioning and

the order of a turn can set up the next card. Elemental Cores add another way to shape a build around the cards a player collects. The release announcement confirms that the full build is available and asks players to report bugs as the developer continues working on it. Official announcement · Official Steam listing
