Deep Sky Derelicts

In a dystopian future divided between privileged citizens and stateless outcasts, you lead a crew of mercenaries searching abandoned alien ships for a fabled derelict that could earn them citizenship. Explore ship maps, reveal nearby areas with a scanner, and search for loot, clues, contracts, and encounters. Movement and other actions consume life-support energy, so each expedition involves weighing how far to push before returning to the crew’s base. Battles are turn-based, with each character drawing combat actions shaped by their class and equipped gear. Between expeditions, heal and level up the crew, recruit mercenaries, trade, and improve equipment and base facilities. The game includes story and arena modes.

Lead a three-person scavenger crew through derelict alien ships, balancing life-support energy and gear-driven card battles for loot.
