About Dual Core
Dual Core is a vibrant twin-stick shooter where you pilot AI-controlled security drones across a sci-fi colony on Europa, blasting through waves of robots, lasers, and aliens while uncovering what destroyed humanity's settlement. Battle solo or team up with up to 3 friends in story, arcade, and versus modes that blend retro arcade action with modern visuals, RPG progression, and cooperative chaos.
It's 2147 and the human colony on Europa has suffered a terrible fate. Rebooting after hibernation, two super-intelligent AI cores awake to find themselves installed within a couple of old security drones. Their attempts to uncover what occurred may end up becoming a lower priority than merely surviving...

Lots of robots, lots of lasers, lots of aliens, lots of explosions! The numerous retro arcade influences are front and center, but spiced up with a colorful modern style, a generous helping of sci-fi intrigue, and a dash of RPG ELEMENTS!
- Don't fight alone! Up to 4 players can battle together in local co-op, but you'll always have your trusty (AI-controlled) robo-buddies by your side.
- Story mode sees you battle through a ton of handcrafted levels as you attempt to shed light on the calamity that befell the colony.
- Arcade mode is a straight up arena-shooter, where you battle wave after endless wave of the alien horde.
- Versus mode pits you against up to 3 friends (or AI controlled bots - If your friends are wasting their time doing something other than playing Dual Core).
A gamepad is recommended, but full mouse & keyboard controls (customisable) are available.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Dual Core is a small indie game with fun versus mode and surprisingly nice pixel art that players enjoy playing casually with friends, though it has technical issues like lack of gamepad settings support, sluggish combat and movement mechanics that improve with upgrades, and frequent story interruptions that disrupt pacing. Most players recommend it at its relatively low price point as a comfy, not-too-intense experience, though some find the AI companion unreliable and the typewriter-style story messages tedious.
play this game versus mode is so fun me and my brother are currently trying to beat it
This game is AMAZING!!!!! I love the story and the characters they cure my adhd yes nenennenejngfdngfdg
bad game
bro programmed a game in assembly and uploaded it to steam 💀💀💀 0/10
Just a small note, Steam says Full controller support, but there is no way to access the settings on gamepad. Seems fun so far though. There's light lock on, so when fighting dont bnother aiming with the right stick, point at an enemy with the left stick and hold fire to lock on while you dodge bullets. Also you end up picking up bombs in your inventory, don't forget to use them. Fun little game, surprisingly nice looking art (despite little things here and there looking bad). And little hiccups that I can see getting annoying like constantly waiting for doors to open, as every room has door that take a second to open and make you stop moving to get through. For the relatively low price it's quite nice. And importantly, it's comfy to play, not too intense.
Played the campaign mode a little bit with keyboard & mouse and first impressions are good. Both combat and movement feel a bit sluggish but there are upgrades for speed & laser so I guess it's by design. Hopefully it'll get better as I progress... Despite several upgrades, Corby died several times during the campaign while my bot never did. Seems like Corby's AI is not good at evading enemy fire and the health regen (at Level 3) works soooo slow. The interruptions due to the numerous messages left by (late?) Dr. Lauren Franke are too frequent and repetitive and having to wait & read them while they are displayed slowly in typewriter style hinders the flow of the story. Furthermore, most of those messages don't add much to the story or help you in any way. But I still feel compelled to read them because what if that's one of the rare messages that actually gives you useful info... Also there are no settings for the graphical options (resolution, Vsync, etc.) which is odd. Seems like Vsync is on by default or the framerate is capped at 60fps.
