What is Deep Sky Derelicts?

In this sci-fi RPG and dungeon crawler, you lead up to three mercenaries through derelict ships, gathering loot and clues to a vessel that could grant your outcast character citizenship. Turn-based fights use randomly drawn action cards, and you return to a base between expeditions to heal, resupply, and upgrade your crew.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy experimenting with crew equipment and skill trees
  • +you want to explore and scavenge derelict spaceships

Not for you if...

  • you prefer real-time combat to turn-based battles
  • you dislike managing gear and crew between missions
