Disappointing and Undercooked
A good game is made of several elements working in tandem. They merge together, like pieces of a puzzle. Together creating something greater than the whole. But the downside to this is if even a few pieces are damaged or missing, the result suffers all the more. That's the unfortunate case for Deep Sky Derelicts. The best puzzle piece here is the presentation. The music, the artwork. They evoke a grimy space twist on Darkest Dungeon. The lore and setting are unique, and provide a good backdrop for the varied and unusual cast of characters. Unfortunately there's a bit of overlap there with the damage pieces. The lore (often delivered through long journal entries) is weirdly written. Several times I'd be reading and suddenly need to stop and re-read a sentence. I'd think I was reading too fast, but actually, the sentence just didn't make sense. Perhaps a translation issue? Or a non-native language issue? Either way, it was enough to break my immersion. Now, the truth is that contrary to what I said at the start, all these pieces can work if the core gameplay piece is really, really good. Unfortunately, I think it might be the weakest element. For a deckbuilding game, I felt like I didn't have control over the deck like I wanted. It would help if I could better compare between my different equipment options, but they're all muddled together in an incomprehensible mass. This could be alleviated through good hand cycling mechanics. Unfortunately, those are mostly absent. Additionally, the combat isn't all that fun. It's basic target prioritization, then focus fire. Vast majority of the time the non-damage cards are inferior. I'm suspicious that unequipping all utility cards to have decks solely of damage would be a valid strategy. The cool combos that I expect are also missing. I recently played Steam World Quest, and the difference in interesting deck building, character difference, and synergies is painful. 3/7 - A misguided design wrapped in an attractive package.
