Description


In a grim dystopian future, where mankind has scattered across the galaxy and the human society has split into two distinct classes, you are a poor stateless outcast forced to live off scraps from derelict alien stations and ships in the outer space, yet you dream of becoming a privileged citizen and living on the surface of a habitable planet, enjoying non-synthetic air, water and food. A fabled alien derelict ship somewhere within the Deep Sky sector of space is your voucher for a citizenship and a promise of cozy life on a hospitable planet.

Build and control a squad of up to three mercenary characters and set on to explore derelict ships within your reach from the scavenger's base. Searching the derelicts for loot and clues, you come across many friendly inhabitants and traders, but more often – various enemies. Challenge and defeat them in tactical turn-based fights, where randomly-drawn cards form your changing arsenal of combat actions, gain experience for yourself and your crew, loot dead bodies, resupply and upgrade once back at your base. The scavenger's home ship gives you the opportunity to heal and level-up your mercenaries, recruit new ones, equip them, upgrade their gear or recharge energy for life support during missions.

Key Features:

  • Fresh take on turn-based combat with cards
  • Refined sci-fi comic book look & feel
  • Endless customization options for characters and scavenging teams
  • High replay value thanks to procedural generation of content
  • Story of the human society divided within a dystopian universe
  • Two game modes: story and arena

Deep Sky Derelicts provides an exciting blend of tactics, card game, and roguelike elements.

8/10
Everything about Deep Sky Derelict seems to have been done right, from the synthwave soundtrack to the lore to the unusual combat system. It's rare that a game with procedural elements holds my attention for long, and rarer still that an RPG can show me something new.

7/10
Deep Sky Derelicts is a decent little adventure that cares more about the journey than the destination. The problems are enough to keep me from loving it, but the combat is addictive and the exploration, while annoyingly simple, rewarding. If you're a fan of roguelikes, dungeon crawlers, or sci-fi RPGs, it's worth checking out.

I like it!

It can be a bit of a slog, but it looks fantastic, I like what it is and does, and the illustrations are great. simple, but fun. Worth it on sale.

Deep Sky Derelicts Review

Unique turn-based combat game. Using combat cards to fight. Very interesting & nothing like what I've played before. Graphics is hand-drawn & very beautiful. Recommended.

Good-ish game presented terribly

Cut to the chase: combat mechanics are not explained, and the first combats are set up extremely badly. Many things about this game are excellent. But playing the game requires doing well in combat, and the combat mechanics are strange and not presented well, which makes the game very hard to enjoy or even understand. Ironically, the game starts out by throwing a ton of text at you. This is done very badly, in a way that will definitely overwhelm you. There is no excuse for how bad this is. And then the game throws a few combats your way, somehow completely divorced from any of the text they buried you with earlier. It is very obvious this is a good game that has sadly been crippled by stupendously bad presentation. You may think you can overcome this barrier by sheer force of will, but you don't stand a chance. There is (probably) a good game here, but it's only accessible by the employees of Snowhound Games. If you work for them: great! But if you are just some random internet schlub avoid this game like the plague. It breaks my heart that so much creative passion has been undermined by terrifically bad onboarding.
