    In short:
    - Great, tense, claustrophobic, post-apocalyptic “lost in space” atmosphere with well realized mechanics, design, minimalistic aesthetic and visual effects
    - Use an array of drones, systems and upgrades/weapons to explore derelict vessels across star systems - Salvage precious resources in order to survive - Real space features and hazards such as asteroid collisions,    In short:

    - Use an array of drones, systems and upgrades/weapons to explore derelict vessels across star systems
    - Salvage precious resources in order to survive
    - Real space features and hazards such as asteroid collisions, radiation, depressurization, leaks, etc.
    - Drone tank controls plus command line controls make it realistic and interesting, despite sometimes tense and tricky to use
    - Different drone upgrades provide lots of different approaches, and you’ll need to adapt make do with what you have
    - Manage repairs and upgrades on drones and systems as they deteriorate
    - Explorable ships/vessels consist of collection of random blocks and are visually mostly all the same with not much contents or detail
    - Progression is very slow, so it gets repetitive and not very rewarding
    - Uncovering of what is going on is also slow and done in short pieces of text    … Expand

    Duskers’ lo-fi aesthetic and gameplay completely immersed us in the role of the captain and his efforts to remotely direct his drones on board of perilous derelict spaceships.

    Duskers would be perfect if it wasn’t for an exaggerated impact of randomness on gameplay. [09/2016, p.53]

    Very fresh and not forgiving rouge-like, which is not an RPG, but rather text game linked with real-time tactical strategy. Interesting and very tasty mix. [Issue#266]
