Deep Sky Derelicts makes me happy. I play through a lot of early access titles, and I’ve often had reasonable ideas on how games can improve- only to have them released with little to no changes. That isn’t the case here, with changes to balance and resource availability turning this into a game I don’t have a problem recommending.
Overall it’s a fun game and a great way to pass the time. It’s not overly violent (well I mean you are killing creatures, robots etc… but it’s all in comic book style art so it doesn’t come across as gory) so you can play it with younger eyes about (something far more likely to be the case with the current pandemic). It’s pretty decent value too when you consider the replayability of different character types with different strengths and weaknesses and different play options outside the main storyline. If you like RPG’s, roguelikes, tactical card battle games there’s a good chance you will enjoy this.

The game has pleasantly surprised me, it is very entertaining and strategic. The visual aspect of còmic is very cool.
I bought the game in a Steam offer for only € 7 and I have already had more than 30 hours having fun, the different classes of characters (inventor, mechanic, tank, leader ...), the skills and the progress tree are very well curled. There are a wide variety of attacks, advantages, disadvantages, weapons, attack mods, support, looting... It has an arena mode and the side missions with their dialogues are fun.
I recommend the game. If you like turn-based games, tactical, rpg do not hesitate.
Flaws: Music is poor, it becomes repetitive. The screen where you select to go to the missions, shop, tavern or where you make the improvements is a poor static image.
But it's worth every € I spent

An intriguing blend of a CCG, a Dungeon Crawler, and a Rogue-Lite buried in a gritty sci-fi RPG universe. Once I had a handle on the energy/scanning mechanics the game became a joy to play with interesting characters and monsters, charming tid bits of lore and a dark dystopian atmosphere.

It's literally the embodiment of "easy to pick up, difficult to master" and it will provide fans of Darkest Dungeon with another terrifying journey into the unknown that will require nuanced and strategic gameplay in order to be successful.
A sci-fi version of Darkest Dungeon. It has a weak story and its procedurally generated missions are tedious, but battles and development of your heroes are strangely addictive.
Craftsmanship-based science-fiction RPG fun with cards, which at the same time doesn´t offer any reason to why it should be memorized for a long time. Basically, all of its elements are good, but not exceptional. [Issue#291]
It’s a real shame to see such great card/strategy combat bogged down by its interface, but perhaps there will be updates rectifying some of these issues. From what I’ve read of Deep Sky Derelicts’ early access development updates, the team behind the game seems responsive to feedback. So, here’s to hoping that the rock-solid combat and deckbuilding are supported by UI and quality-of-life changes in the future. Until then, DSD will likely drift around in the endless void that is my Steam library.
Fatally flawed with bugs, soft locks, and incomplete map generation, Deep Sky Derelicts is a fun game when it works. More often than not, however, it doesn’t work.

The game has nice graphics that harmonize very well with the style of the presented world. The music is selected in such a way that we can feel the atmosphere of abandoned spaceships, emptiness and hopelessness. The gameplay is not absolutely innovative, it draws on already known solutions, but the system of character and equipment improvement adds a lot of freshness. For me, a big plus are actions depending on the cards, not the location of the character.

Summary Deep Sky Derelicts is an original combination of turn-based strategy and RPG, enriched with tactical card combat and popular roguelike elements. Explore derelict alien ships, fight, loot and upgrade your gear, all in distinctive retro-futuristic comic book aesthetic style.
