About

Cortexfall

Read full description

Cortexfall is an offline cyberpunk roguelike where every move matters. Descend into procedurally generated sectors, adapt your build to what you find, and fight the machines that seized the heart of the Grid. Nine modes revolve around turn-based tactics. The tenth, Overrun, drops deliberate turns for real-time survival. PLAN EVERY MOVE Navigate sectors packed with laser gates, explosive barrels, teleport pads, destructible walls, and ruthless machines. Break enemy line of sight, lure them into hazards, trigger chain explosions, and save your EMP for when things go bad. Four boss archetypes await, each with its own second phase and signature threat. SHAPE YOUR OPERATIVE Choose one of four distinct classes. Pick a weapon and an ability before the run, then collect chips, grenades, and augments as you go. Pierce enemy lines with a Railgun, strike from stealth with a Pulse Blade, hack an enemy and turn it against its allies, or deploy a combat drone. TEN WAYS INTO THE GRID - Complete five sectors in Story Mode - Push your local high score in Endless Run - Take one shot each day at a date-based seed in Daily Challenge - Fight through five back-to-back boss encounters in Boss Rush - Clear eight sectors against the clock in Time Attack - Solve tile logic and find the exit in Puzzle Grid - Hold out against escalating waves in Horde Arena - Create custom training runs and test builds without risk in Sandbox - Enter risky rooms and draft one of three perks at every level-up in Anomaly Zone - Face a rising swarm on an endless field in real-time Overrun MAKE EVERY REAL RUN COUNT Real runs, contracts, and achievements reward credits, Neuro-Cores, and more. Unlock new classes, weapons, abilities, skins, and permanent upgrades. Complete daily and weekly contracts, build weapon and ability mastery, uncover Codex entries, collect achievements, and improve your local records. Log at least five runs in a month to receive a detailed recap of how you played. DESIGNED FOR OFFLINE PLAY No account or internet connection is needed for gameplay. Play in English or Czech, with adjustable difficulty, controls, and text size. Accessibility options include colorblind-friendly palettes, a high-contrast grid, reduced motion, and a photosensitivity-safe mode. The Grid rewrites itself after every fall. Learn, refine your build, and see how much deeper you can go next time.
