Robot Space Explorer

Description
Lost through a wormhole, spaceship destroyed, circuits fried; the Robot Space Explorer has crash-landed in the Spire and must find a way home! Gather your lost gear, gadgets, and weaponry on your way up, but keep your scanner active: the Robot Space Explorer is resourceful, and will use whatever it can get its clamps on.

The Robot Space Explorer is a playable character mod which is a collaboration with my 7-year-old son. He created about 20 card designs and card names and drew about 35 of the card arts with crayon on paper. I filled in the rest of the character design around his work and did the other half of the card arts in his style. I worked hard to make the character have simple mechanics, fun combos, and be as balanced as I could manage.

The Robot Space Explorer mod contains:
* 77 cards
* 11 relics
* 3 potions

Robot Space Explorer themes:
* Salvage keyword: return random cards from discard to your hand
* Solar Flare keyword: stacking end-of-turn damage power that targets enemies randomly
* Status card Static Buildup: a status card that damages and applies Weak to you at end of turn
* Surge keyword: gain temporary Strength next turn and remove Weak
* Exhausting attacks
* Intentional synergies with lesser-used relics and colorless cards

Special thanks:
* CaptainSnafu for the Simplified Chinese translation
* zerosiki__ for the Korean translation

...and You!

Fun! A lot of clever concepts, and the best of them feel almost like they could be in the base game. The downside is how many cards revolve around scaling - there are so many that the character feels extremely broken, and the sheer number of scaling options introduce a little too much complexity, imo. Still, it's really fun for a couple runs.

Heya, just started with this charming mod. It's very powerful, which I suppose is natural for a concept dreamed up by a kid, but the fun lies in finding the very broken synergies and the challenge lies in knowing when to stop. Died in act 2 on my first run by getting card-synergy-greedy and am now taking a more balanced approach on my second attempt. Well done with this one, it has everything, and the art is brilliant! I wish I had the ability to do this with my kids, who are growing up at the speed of light!

There are some cards that suck if you upgrade them. The stun grenade, for example. If you don't upgrade it, it synergizes with low damage powers... but if you upgrade it, it breaks that synergy for very little return. I wish the upgrade made the cards do a second hit, rather than increasing the base damage over the low damage threshold (I'm thinking of powers that only work on attacks that do 5 or less damage).

Also, I think static buildup should not give you weaken, or more cards should have that ability that gives you temporary strength and removes weaken, because those are hard to come by...

Not only is this mod incredibly stylish, but its also well balanced and fun!

The only thing I'd change is that some relics (like Newt ring) feel under powered, 1 more card every other turn? Also Makeshift Volley doesn't work with power glove, despite being 5 or less damage.

Just got this mod from seeing it on Frost prime's youtube video.
Very eager to try it!

This is a very fun mod. Mini-boosters were absolutely hilarious to use.

For some reason I had gotten unsubscribed from this thread and so I missed quite a few comments. Thanks everyone for the kind words, my son and I are very happy that people are still enjoying this.

Special thanks to @zerosiki__ who has just provided a Korean translation.

I did make this character a little strong on purpose, so that my son could enjoy it more easily. I will consider making a hard mode, I think that's a good idea, I just need to find the time and energy to do it. Thanks!
