About this game
The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.
DESCEND. MINE. EVOLVE.
Deep Core Protocol is a mining incremental game about diving deeper, building powerful synergies, and turning simple mining into a storm of automated attacks and explosive skills.
Start with nothing but a pickaxe.
Break ore. Earn gold. Upgrade your equipment. Build your Core Matrix.
Then go deeper.
FROM A PICKAXE TO A MINING MACHINE
Early on, every ore vein is broken by hand.
As you progress, you unlock Mining AI, powerful skills, relics, advanced pickaxes, and Core Matrix upgrades that completely change the pace of each dive.
What begins as simple mining gradually becomes a screen-filling chain reaction of attacks, explosions, lasers, and automated mining.
BUILD YOUR OWN CORE MATRIX
Choose how your build grows through 7 distinct paths:
- POWER — heavy hits, burst damage, and overkill
- PRECISION — critical hits and timing
- SKILLS — ability chains and frequent skill activations
- AUTOMATION — stronger Mining AI and target control
- ECONOMY — more valuable mining and faster growth
- PRESSURE — greater rewards for surviving dangerous depths
- RESONANCE — combine multiple systems into powerful synergies
Your build should change how you play — not just make numbers bigger.
PUSH DEEPER UNDER PRESSURE
The deeper you descend, the more unstable the mine becomes.
Deeper layers drain stability faster, but contain more valuable resources and greater rewards.
Push your luck for one more vein — or extract before everything collapses.
UNLEASH FIVE POWERFUL SKILLS
Build around five distinct abilities:
- Quantum Drill — devastating single-target damage
- Core Explosion — massive area destruction
- Arc Storm — chain attacks across multiple targets
- Mining Pulse — repeated attacks that grow stronger through triggers
- Orbital Laser — enormous attacks that sweep across the mining field
Upgrade them, combine them, and turn the entire mine into a chain reaction.
FACE THE GUARDIANS OF THE DEEP
Bosses await at key depths.
Each encounter tests a different part of your build — damage, pressure management, automation, skill timing, and synergy.
A build that destroys ore may not always survive what waits below.
DIVE. UPGRADE. GO DEEPER.
Every dive makes the next one stronger.
Discover new ores, environments, relic combinations, Matrix paths, and increasingly destructive ways to mine.
How deep can your build survive?
