Full Game Details
From the Devs
Break Through the Core in a Bulletstorm!
Corebreaker is a fast-paced action-platformer game with rogue-like elements. You are Nova, a robot awakened at the brink of humanity's extinction at the hands of machines. Your mission? To save, search, or destroy? The choice is yours, but you must get to the core first – Unlock abilities, upgrades and powerful weapons as you fight your way through supreme robots to find out your purpose!
Crisp Controls, Fluid Movement, and Dynamic Combat!
Run, jump, dash, and shoot the way through hordes of robots, combining various melee attack moves for maximum impact. While some battles may challenge you more than simply mowing down grass, the satisfaction of overcoming tough enemies with smooth, skillful combat is what makes the game truly fun and exciting!
Fail Fast, Fail Forward!
No matter how many times Nova falls, it can be extracted, repaired, and sent right back into the fray. While progress resets, some of the power-up chips and resources collected deep within the ruins are preserved. Use these to permanently upgrade Nova's systems, unlock stronger skills, power move punches, additional gadgets, and more powerful weapons.
Go Deep into the Underground Ruins... All the way to the Core!
The underground ruins are vast and ever-changing, with their structure shifting with each Nova’s deployment. As Nova delves deeper, both the types and configurations of enemies evolve. In addition to the bosses guarding each biome, powerful elite enemies different in sizes and skills await your challenge. Break down walls to discover hidden rooms filled with useful resources and treasures, arm yourself at power-up terminals and weapon shops, and fear not “death” — Remember? For with each journey, Nova will only grow stronger.
