๐ŸŒŒ Nexus Rush

Deckbuild. Defend. Explode.

Nexus Rush is a punchy, strategic deckbuilding tower defense game where you fend off waves of weird enemies using an evolving arsenal of cards and relics — all while captaining a questionable spaceship with an even more questionable crew.

Build the perfect combo. Survive the chaos. Reach the Nexus. Or explode trying.

๐ŸŽฎ How to Play

  • โš”๏ธ Auto-Attack Combat: Your tower fires automatically — but your card choices shape everything: damage, speed, burn ticks, splash zones, you name it.

  • ๐Ÿ”€ Choose Your Path: After each wave, pick your next encounter:

    • ๐Ÿ’ฅ Fight tougher enemies

    • ๐Ÿ’Ž Grab relics

    • ๐Ÿ›’ Hit the shop

    • ๐ŸŽฒ Gamble in quirky space events

    • ๐Ÿ˜ด Rest and upgrade

  • ๐Ÿง  Synergize: Relics and status effects can spiral into beautiful chaos if you build smart.

  • ๐Ÿ‘พ Endgame Challenge: Face Act bosses and a final boss that records your DPS. Compete for leaderboard glory.

๐Ÿš€ Why Play Nexus Rush?

  • Fast runs (10โ€“15 mins)

  • Every run is unique

  • Tons of card combos, relics, and cursed trade-offs

  • Minimalist neon visuals & juicy fireworks

  • A crew that includes a goblin exhaust sniffer and a goat surgeon-in-training ๐Ÿ

Free to play, but strategically rich. Easy to learn, hard to master.
Push your build to the limit and see how far your tower — and your sanity — can go.

Wishlist it, download it, and rush the Nexus.

good update made it a little too hard, but I feel like with future updates but this was a step in the right direction is what I want to say

Thanks Pallmanpon! I completely agree to be honest - the lasers feel more varied and it is now easy to lose the run or have a very overpowered build. A step in the right direction but still some work to do! Thanks for your feedback <3

the discord link might be expired 

You're right! Here's a new one set to never expire - thankyou

Also can you make it so thereโ€™s more boss fights and monster layers and less stuff that gives you card because I feel like that would make it better.

Noted also - thankyou again!

Can you make it so thereโ€™s a 85% chance for the dark pact to instead steal a card or downgrade a cards rank?

Just spotted this - yes we'll add this to our request pile and look into it!

good game has potential but it needs to be more hard became overpowered way to fast.

Thanks Pallmanpon - We totally agree on that, keep an eye out for a balancing update in the future and we'd love you to keep periodically testing the game. We aim to push an update out every sunday!

Thanks for playing!  

will do
