    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.

    Deep Sky Derelicts poses as a true original dark sci-fi roguelike experience, successfully distancing itself from Darkest Dungeon clone title it received. With its definitive edition, even with lack of compelling narrative, it is a rich experience with a huge depth of combat, exploration and customization that is to be expected from such experience.

    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.

    If you're looking for a turn-based strategy game set in a dystopian world where you won't feel attached by your characters and don't need to pay attention to the story, Deep Sky Derelicts has a lot to offer. Keep in mind though that while it's easy to pick up, Snowhound Games' title is hard to master.

    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]

    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.

    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    … Expand

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.… Expand
