    It's a fairly engaging mix of turn-based dungeon-crawling and card-based deck-building as you progress through increasingly difficult and larger space wrecks to explore, I thought it was going to be like darkest dungeon, but other than the art style, the two are quite different. Although a good portion of the content is randomized, unlike darkest dungeon the maps stay the same throughoutIt's a fairly engaging mix of turn-based dungeon-crawling and card-based deck-building as you progress through increasingly difficult and larger space wrecks to explore, I thought it was going to be like darkest dungeon, but other than the art style, the two are quite different. Although a good portion of the content is randomized, unlike darkest dungeon the maps stay the same throughout a single playthrough, so it basically plays like a regular RPG even though it might classified as a rogue-lite. The combat is also much different from Darkest Dungeon. It's the same as your typical turn-based JRPG where different characters take turns based on initiative.

    There are some serious balance issues, and it becomes quite easy to build ridiculous decks that trivialize combat after the first half of the game or so. The story is pretty basic sci-fi, and doesn't compare to the brilliantly narrated growing horror of Darkest Dungeon's storyline.

    All in all, I had a lot of fun. If Darkest Dungeon is a 10, this would fairly be rated as a 7.    … Expand

    Deep Sky Derelicts is a wonderful turn based card battler with RPG mechanics you’ll go back to again and again. Hidden dice throws are still a git though.

    A gorgeous comic book aesthetic and unique premise helps to alleviate Deep Sky Derelicts’ rudimentary and uneven card-based RPG tactics.
