One hand. Many possibilities. Only so many plays to decide. Chroma is a roguelike deckbuilder where you must reach each battle's target score before your plays run out. Combine numbers and elements, discover synergies, and build a deck that can take you further.
Make every play count
Choose which cards to play, which to keep, and when to discard. Your combination, mages, and chosen parchments can turn a good hand into the play you needed. Watch your score resolve, then plan your next move.
One combination. Your synergies. The score you need.
Six elements. Many ways to combine.
Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Light, and Ether shape your deck. Match numbers or elements, build sequences, or bring five different elements together in an Elemental Rainbow. With limited plays and discards, the cards you keep are part of your strategy too.
Open packs. Find your next synergy.
Choose your route through seed-generated maps and visit shops to expand your options. Open packs of cards, parchments, or mages and choose what to add to your strategy. Every choice helps shape the next battle.
The next piece of your strategy could be inside this pack.
Save a parchment for the decisive moment
Elemental parchments are consumables stored in your inventory and selected from your chest during battle. Catalysts increase the base value of scoring cards of their element; Conjurers double your multiplier when that element scores. Parchments are consumed when played, so choose your moment carefully.
Recruit mages that change how you play
In solo runs, discover mages with passive effects that strengthen elements, reward certain combinations, or build advantages under their own conditions. Combine their effects with your deck to increase base value, improve your multiplier, or create new opportunities along your route.
One spin could change your run
Spend your run coins at the roulette wheel and discover the outcome of each spin. You could win cards, parchments, mages, or coins, but you might also walk away empty-handed. Decide whether to save your coins for the shop or try your luck before the next battle.
Spin the wheel. Discover what awaits.
Bosses and minibosses that challenge your strategy
In solo runs, face minibosses like Varkhan, who reward some elements and penalize others. Bosses take the challenge further with their own rules, altering your score or changing what you can keep in your hand. Rethink your combinations and adapt your strategy to each encounter.
