Favorite giveaway game so far

Like the title says, I got the base game on giveaway (don't intend to get DLC/add-on packs), and I quite enjoyed it. When I played Darkest Dungeon, it got too difficult and stressful on the default difficulty so I quit, but Deep Sky Derelicts feels like a non-stressful version of Darkest Dungeon in space on the default difficulty. I don't like playing games that stress me out, so this game was a good fit for me. I beat the game after 17 hours with just a couple team deaths that didn't set me back much. I really enjoyed the comp I started with and stuck with it to the end. I had a bruiser, a leader, and a technician as my comp, and the bruiser felt the most important due to all the damage skills followed closely by the leader who was essential for buffing the party and debuffing/crowd-controlling enemies. The technician provided shield and defense boost support, but it felt like it could be replaced with another class. I found it difficult to consistently get the shield manipulation skill, which I found to be the most useful for the technician, and the technician didn't feel that useful against biological enemies. Does the game have good replay value? I think yes, it would be decent to play again with a different comp or to play arena mode, but with the backlog of other games I have to play, I don't think I will be playing it again for any long while. But for a single playthrough, I thoroughly enjoyed my 17 hours. Progression felt okay and the difficulty spikes (especially going from level 3 to level 4 derelicts) did not feel unmanageable. Also, the graphics/art style is appropriately good and appealing, and so is the music. If any cons worth mentioning, I'd say the game could do a better job of explaining mechanics, status effects, and tools available (I wasn't aware of the scan ability until quite a ways in). Overall, I recommend this game with a solid 4/5.

too easy

Nice art style, writing isn't bad. The basic mechanics, the classes, the basic gameplay loop are all good - this could be a great game. But you fight mostly harmless groups often consisting of only one enemy type, so the fights become bland very quickly. The game has a lot of potential but doesn't live up to it.

Surprisingly deep game

Picked this up on a whim since it was under $10 for the full edition and I'm incredibly pleased with it so far. Obviously, the first thing you notice is the incredible retro sci-fi aesthetic, very similar to 1980s Heavy Metal or 2000AD comic style. Character/NPC designs are great and the fight animation is above average, if a little repetitive at times. The lore reminds me of a cross between Phantasy Star and Borderlands. It's fun to pick up a datapad and read some about how a background character got his nickname or to come across a floor that wants you to get an NPC to stop stomping on it because it's painful (yes, this is a thing that happens). There's a definite learning curve in terms of gameplay, as there really isn't a true tutorial in this - your character is just sort of given his mission and let lose with some narrative bubbles to explain the basics. This is enough to get you through the first derelict (level) without a problem but it's up to the player to finesse their way their each progressively more difficult derelict and deal with environmental conditions, branching missions, and more difficult enemies. It wasn't until the third derelict that I learned you can draw cards (basically actions) from the environment, as well as your weapons and equipment. The card system is well integrated and, unlike some others, I don't think it was included as a gimmick. Part of the fun is getting new cards from weapons, equipment, specializations, and leveling and figuring out which characters benefit most from what cards, as well as what combos work best. If you're a fan or retro RPGs, I recommend this.

Quite creepy, quite good !

Hi, after finally completing the game I have decided to write a small review about it. Set in space, your crew of 3 Mercs is tasked with finding a Mothership - the game depicts this very journey, where you train your guys/gals, amass loot, tweek your build and overcome adversity. It is a turn-based strategy combat game using decks of card mechanic per each character (same for enemies), requires some degree of strategic thinking (mostly to break the game). Is it difficult? Maybe, especially in the beginning, when you have no idea, how the mechanics work - when you learn them - and subsequently bend them to your whims - it gets much easier. There is a nice in-game Codex explaining the mechanics, status effects etc. The music and the whole setting really charmed me - in a creepily possitive way - abbandoned derelicts floating in space filled with slumbering horrors - Space Hulk, W40K (some aspects) come to mind - certainly not for everybody. Graphics are nice (even my potato ran it) and compliment the overall decaying vibes the plot is set in. The plot itself is very simple, and enjoyable. There is certainly some degree of replayability - procedural generation of loot, encounters and IIRC the derelicts themselves, to a certain degree even the final fight can be altered. I for my self can say, I had fun the whole time - not only at the finale. When you reach lvl cap, there is still equipment to tweek, so as to be competitive in an evermore dangerous environment. I was reaaaaally slow with the game, went through almost everything, an clocked 30 H at the end. No real need to look up anything out-of-game - only if you absolutelly want to break the game (char build-wise). Everything can be overcome with experimentation. TL:DL - go buy it - good value for your money :) Cheers
