About

Deep Sky Derelicts, released in 2018, is an indie RPG that blends strategic gameplay with a unique retro-futuristic comic book aesthetic. Players take on the role of a scavenger navigating derelict alien ships, where they engage in tactical combat, loot for valuable resources, and recruit mercenaries to build their team. The game stands out for its intriguing narrative and engaging exploration mechanics, providing a rich experience for fans of the genre.

In terms of PC performance, Deep Sky Derelicts is quite accessible, catering to players with entry-level hardware. With a minimum GPU requirement of around 530 score points, even budget graphics cards can deliver decent FPS, allowing you to experience the game without hiccups. For optimal performance, players can consider mid-tier GPUs that balance both graphics quality and frame rates while setting graphics settings to medium or low for smoother gameplay.

Considering its 62/100 rating, Deep Sky Derelicts is a worthy experience for fans of strategy and RPG genres, especially those who appreciate indie titles. While it may not be a blockbuster hit, its unique style and gameplay mechanics make it a compelling choice for gamers seeking fresh experiences in the genre.

Performance profile

September 2018 release. Deep Sky Derelicts was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.

As a strategy title, Deep Sky Derelicts is typically CPU-bound rather than GPU-bound — single-thread CPU performance dictates framerate during large-scale battles, end-game saves and late-game AI turns. A fast modern 6-core will help more than a GPU upgrade.

Extremely light — Deep Sky Derelicts runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.

Storyline

“They drift in the void. Desolate but not empty.” 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. Hire 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.
