Cosmic Crossover: Roguelike Basketball

Description

The Galaxy Runs on Buckets

Cosmic Crossover is a roguelike basketball sim: draft a squad of misfit ballers from across the galaxy, then coach them through three escalating tournaments - The Asteroid Open, The Nebula Invitational, and The Galactic Cup -  where every opponent is stranger and stronger than the last. You don't control the players - you build the team, call the plays, and make the adjustments. The sim does the rest, possession by possession.

Draft Your Five

Wrestlers who live on the glass. Oozes that never get tired. Sharpshooters from dying stars. Every character has authored abilities that scale as they level across the run, and every race and playstyle feeds team-wide synergies - stack 3 slashers or 5 post bruisers and the whole team transforms. No two drafts play the same.

Break the Game with Cosmic Relics

Beat bosses and scour the galaxy for run-altering relics and equipment: build around foul-baiting, seven-seconds-or-less pace, defense that scores, or pure superstar hero-ball. Relics stack into engines. Engines win championships.

Coach Every Possession That Matters

Games simulate live with full play-by-play - but you're never a spectator. Pause at quarter breaks to adjust matchups, react to in-game events, counter the opponent's system, and outfox rival coaches in blind tactical battles. Your roster gets you to the fourth quarter. Your coaching wins it.

Survive the Run

Your coach has health, and losing points costs it. String wins together, manage your gear at tip-off, gamble at scout events, spend big at the Galactic Exchange - and take down three tournaments of escalating alien squads and the boss waiting in each FINAL. Fall short, and carry your unlocks into the next run.
