About

In a grim dystopian future, where mankind has scattered across the galaxy and the human society has split into two distinct classes, you are a poor stateless outcast forced to live off scraps from derelict alien stations and ships in the outer space, yet you dream of becoming a privileged citizen and living on the surface of a habitable planet, enjoying non-synthetic air, water and food. A fabled alien derelict ship somewhere within the Deep Sky sector of space is your voucher for a citizenship and a promise of cozy life on a hospitable planet.
Build and control a squad of up to three mercenary characters and set on to explore derelict ships within your reach from the scavenger's base. Searching the derelicts for loot and clues, you come across many friendly inhabitants and traders, but more often – various enemies. Challenge and defeat them in tactical turn-based fights, where randomly-drawn cards form your changing arsenal of combat actions, gain experience for yourself and your crew, loot dead bodies, resupply and upgrade once back at your base. The scavenger's home ship gives you the opportunity to heal and level-up your mercenaries, recruit new ones, equip them, upgrade their gear or recharge energy for life support during missions.

Got the Game during Summer Sale event.. Nothing bad to say from my side... Been slowly building my characters and its been fun. Havn't run into any major balance issues. Just a simple turn based card game. really nothing more to say. Buy it on sale and its well worth the price.
Straightforward gameplay and story.
so this is just my take away.. and it pains me to do so... i absolutely fell in love with it, the art style, the mechanics, the writing, the quests/story even things lacking or dereft just feels rightly weird in this setting no frills.. i've much exp in tactics games, and once i've found deckbuilders as a genre i love the idea.. ie: hand of fate, cardhunter etc.. there's much a challenge (or so i first thought) and the "difficulty" can be brutally punishing... but being apparently abandoned but still overly game breaking buggy at times.. on one hand the "difficulty" can be brutally punishing unfairly so.. while on the other, the "right picks" make the entire game laughably inconsequential... enough so i don't even feel like trying it anymore with that knowledge... which makes me sad.. cuz i love all of it.. for even a challenge i thought to try arena to keep it fresh, but it bug locks me up after the first encounter.. and with no more "fixes" in sight .. why i must give this a thumbs down..
Playing on a 2025 iMac and it runs great. It has clever mechanics that keep thing s fresh, and it is perfectly paced. I prefer this to Darkest Dungeon because of the way the art work sells the character emotions.; from the stoic scowl of trepidation back at base, to their hapless enthusiasm when they survive a fight. It has me wincing with every hit. Few card games sell the tension and drama like DSD does. If you don't like turned based card games this might sway you.
It's sort of like Slay The Spire meets Darkest Dungeon 1 in space. If you like either or both of those games, then I'm pretty sure this game will likely be right up your alley. It isn't perfect and I do have a few issues with it, namely the far too excessive amount of loot you have to deal with throughout the game and how frustrating it can often be to in turn optimize you character with their weaponry and tool loadout. That said, the art style is awesome, the music is catchy, and the game itself is good fun once you get past the convoluted loot system. Playing it on hardcore in particular can make for an especially stressful yet satisfying experience, I'd say even more so than Darkest Dungeon 1 was seeing as when you lose your squad its just game over without backups waiting for you in your homebase. Look forward to hopefully see more from these devs one day.
I was looking to buy this game for some time, as I loved DD1 and DD2 core mechanics, but this game feels like some weird executed copy instead of being a great offspring of the subgenre. -good visuals with unique comic style -mediocre soundtrack with repetative melody -combat systtem based on shuffled cards, executed on medium level -quite boring exploration -loot system lacks something -combat feels eerie, must be because of pegi 12 Idk, would not really play it

Спасибо разрабам за финального босса, который просто играет в игру вместо игрока (естественно с летальным исходом для этого самого игрока). Спасибо разрабам за вылеты и застревания на локациях, после попытки покинуть их не облутав. Спасибо за бесконечные чёрные экраны загрузки и ту-ту-ту-ду вместо саундтрека. Спасибо за кринжовые и местами маразматические смехуёчки и нагромождение пафосных фраз, которое тут зовётся сюжетом. Спасибо за огромный арсенал бесполезного оружия с рандомными характеристиками, ковыряться в котором также увлекательно, как разбирать коллекцию крылышек майских жуков, доставшуюся от давно сошедшего с ума родственника. Спасибо разрабам: теперь я знаю, чьи поделия не стоит трогать даже десятиметровой палкой.
I had fun - thats all that matters
Non fa per me.
