Contracts are side missions that have a plethora of different objectives and usually pay out well on completion. This is a hub pretty similar to the village in Darkest Dungeon, where you can heal the characters, buy new weapons, sell stuff you donвЂ™t need and eventually get contracts. Back to civilizationД«etween the exploration expeditions, the team can relax, heal, spend money and organize at the space station.

In addition to that, each piece of equipment has two additional slots for modifications, which add additional stats or even new cards. This is particularly ingenious, since it gives items a double value: you donвЂ™t only care about their stats (damage, shields and so on) but also about the cards they add. As I did say before, every character in the team has its own deck of cards, which in turn are acquired by adding pieces of equipment to the team member. When I say complex, I donвЂ™t mean anything Magic: The Gathering level of complex (also because we donвЂ™t want fights to last forever), but there are some nice cards between the base ones you get at the start of the game. Skinks are overgrown alien lizardвЂ¦ and also not the worst thing you can stumble upon when exploring derelictsД¬ards are also quite diverse and complex, especially after the first levels in the game. Derelicts are inhabited also by a number of bosses and mini-bosses, ranging from necromancer robots to giant space worms, you knowвЂ¦ the usual stuff. Enemies, like in similar games, are differentiated by their abilities are their hp/shield pool and luckily thereвЂ™s no reuse of assets in this sense, which is something that I find incredibly dull in this kind of games, since it makes enemies feel very similar to each other. Combats in Deep Sky Derelicts are turn-based and, at a first glance, may look very similar to Darkest DungeonвЂ™s: in reality the introduction of cards made the gameplay considerably different, since the abilities we can now play are drawn from a deck of cards that is unique for each character in the team. These вЂњbad thingsвЂќ usually take the form of traps, aliens, rival scavengers and robotic janitors. Sometimes, when exploring, bad things can happen. While exploring we also have to watch our energy reserves, because every action we take in the hostile environment of the space derelicts drains some power and, when it gets to 0, weapons, shields and life support get disabled. This is my main gripe with this game: we could all be exploring derelicts drawn in the gameвЂ™s beautiful graphic style, like in Darkest Dungeon, but we are instead restricted to clicking little squares in a black and white screen. This вЂњmapвЂќ is composed by a lot of squares, representing explorable rooms that could be empty, contain loot orвЂ¦ enemies.

Basically, you have access to a datapad that, besides giving infos on the team members and inventory, maps the surface of the abandoned ships. The road to this spaceship is long, though, and youвЂ™ll have plenty of time completing eventual side-missions that other scavengers, and sometimes robots, will give you.Д®xploring the derelicts is quite simple, like click-on-a-square-to-move-to-the-next-room simple.

The latter are especially important, since your main goal, the very reason you are actually exploring this giant pieces of rusty metal in space, is to find pieces of information that could help you track down a legendary spaceship that stories say itвЂ™s full of valuables. In Deep Space Derelicts youвЂ™ll guide a team of three scavengers, searching big abandoned space stations and ships for valuable materials and informations. While this wonвЂ™t be a direct comparison between the two games, sometimes during the review IвЂ™ll point out their similarities (or differences!). While there are a lot of dissimilarities between them, the two games also have a lot in common, like the comic book graphic style, some combat mechanics and team/characters management.

Just by looking at the screenshots on the store page it is obvious how the game can be compared with another, more famous, game: Darkest Dungeon.
