About To The Core

✦ AI summary

Drill through planets across the solar system, gathering resources and upgrading your equipment to go deeper and faster. Master individual resources through repeated mining to unlock passive bonuses, creating a satisfying progression loop where every planet conquered unlocks tougher challenges.

To The Core is an incremental game about drilling and using the resources from the planets in the solar system, buy upgrades to drill even further and deeper than before!

A solar system awaits you, plenty of planets to choose from to find and drill their resources, however be careful to not waste any fuel if you wish to drill more of that resource.

Travel the expansive solar system to find planets with varying resources,

each planet is stronger than the last so you'll need to gather upgrades.
Travel to the planets and gather as many resources as you can before fuel runs out, you can use these resources to increase your drills durability, fuel, damage and add quirky upgrades.
The items you collect in the game have an automatic mastery system where the more you mine a resource the more buffs that resource will have, so if you mine 100 iron it will give you 5% more drop rate.

I've played it through at least 4 times, kind of lost count. I wait 6-12mo and redo a complete run. Great music. Satisfying grind as you get more and more powerful and eventually become a planet devourer.

This game can be played on anything, yet has amazing visuals, especially later in the game. It's super satisfying and worth your time, you can focus on different parts of the upgrade tree on each playthrough, and I recommend getting all achievements.
Not recommended Jul 11, 2026
The grind is too long and convoluted without enough of satisfying upgrades or progression. I had some fun for 6 hours but the repetition without payoff was too much.

Save file system is broken and does not save progress
