Fatal Core

Fatal Core will be, and always will be, a free-to-play competitive online card game with no real-money purchases or micro-transactions. Of course, developers need a steady stream of revenue so that their game can continue to grow. Although players share this goal, any strategic victory is cheapened if the driving force behind it is money. A divide forms between high and low-spending players, and tensions often spill over into toxic behavior. We want to try something a little different!

To encourage collaboration between developers and players, Fatal Core will be interactively funded by the player community through channels like Patreon and scaled to community demand. This way, the community will take on a directing role!

The game will be publicly available from an early Alpha state, starting immediately. Players will decide which features, characters, or card sets to develop next. Rewards will be sent at regular intervals to every member of the community. When new funding goals are met, rewards will increase!

We are here to build a great collectible online card game not just for our players, but with them. Support us, and let your voice be heard!

(Note: We have changed our itch.io client to a prototype standalone client - currently only available for Windows systems. If you are a Mac or Linux user, you can still access the browser version of the game at our website: https://fatalcoretcg.com )

The client does not currently auto-update. If you experience any issues, you may need to download a newer version of the client. If that doesn't work, please don't hesitate to make a bug report on our Discord server!

We are now also accepting donations here on Itch. Your donation may make you eligible for additional rewards outside of the game. For a full list of incentives, please join our Discord (link above).
