Coreless is a third-person, single-player action roguelike that brings a fresh twist to meta-progression through its flexible talent and power systems. Choose from a wide variety of avatars, enhance them with talent points, and equip them with distinctive addons. Each adventure promises unique challenges and experiences. Highly Customizable Avatars Shape your playstyle using a rich combination of talents, addons, and in-session powers. Whether you envision a spellcaster striking from afar, a melee warrior dealing stuns and damage over time, or an assassin summoning minions to create distractions, the choice is entirely yours. Unlock new avatars, powers, and addons to forge a truly distinctive build! Tick-Based Addon System As you progress, surviving tougher encounters earns you Ticks—your performance currency. These Ticks unlock addon drops and Affix Milestones that enhance those addons. Addons are central to your build: passive addons may grant powers at session start, plague enemies periodically, or provide shields or extra lives. Event-based addons activate based on the socket they're placed in—some let you double-dash to collect nearby buffs, others trigger effects during Overdrive abilities. The more Ticks you gather in a session, the higher your chances of powerful drops. Simply put: the longer you survive, the better the rewards. Diverse and Challenging Encounters Each run is packed with upgrade options, diverse foes, and hidden unlockables. Optimize your growth during every encounter before the Heat Meter hits 100%, triggering a boss battle. Defeating these unique enemies rewards you with gear to power future runs. Unlock new difficulty levels, environments, and enemy types for escalating challenge and reward. Continuous Progression Even in defeat, progress continues. Earn permanent upgrades such as talent points, addons and resources. Each step forward opens up new strategic possibilities for future attempts.
