Our take on Corpoct
Indirect command creates a clear trade-off: strategic planning takes priority over direct tactical control. Ship positions, blueprints, cards, advisors, and consumables shape the operation, while battleships handle their own combat instead of following individual player orders.
What is Corpoct?
Corpoct is a space dungeon crawler about overseeing an expedition for a megacorporation.
The player selects a commander from a roster of heroes and villains, chooses destinations, reviews blueprints, and influences the expedition without directly commanding battleships or assigning weapons. Maps are generated anew for each run, while real-time deck building lets players pause the action and play cards. Consumables and advisors can alter battle results. Space combat ranges from fighter engagements to clashes involving armored battleships, with ships and enemy factions randomized across expeditions. The structure combines roguelike runs, exploration of unknown planets, indirect strategic decisions, and fleet development.
