Deep Sky Derelicts
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.

Sci fi vibes meets Darkest Dungeon and Slay the Spire, 10/10

Like most roguelite/rogue/FPS/dungeon crawlers, just make it so that the stuff you collect actually changes the appearance of the characters. The math is fine, the physics are good, the pieces all work, just put in some work for cosmetic changes -- same story with other games of this genre, darkest dungeon... I mean anything. Collect armor, it should LOOK different. I'm not talking about paying for DLC for cosmetics or skins... but as part of the function of the game.
The base game is really good, though. Just needs CUSTOMIZATION

Really decent dungeon crawler with a nice style. Combat is turn-based with an initiative system and the attacks/skills come from cards you get from the class chosen and the gear equipped.
Don't know if I was just lucky with my combination of characters and their items but the difficulty was just right, and the combats always felt fair.

It's an OK game, I'm on the fence about recommending it. I would say if you really love the appearance of the art, the deckbuilding concept of the combat, and you get a good deal, then go for it.
The UI isn't great, but I guess you get used to it. A couple times I had a serious UI bug where I had to close the game, but only happened 2-3 time in a full playthrough.
I found the game really easy. I didn't read guides, savescum, really anything special. You just get so swamped with gear you can sell, and then the crafting is so easy to make top tier gear for cheap. I wasn't even bothering to read the descriptions on the hundreds of pieces of loot I found because it was time consuming and inconsequential. There are supposed to be some resource drains like healing, but a full heal is like 500 cash, and I finished the game with the 50k. The last 4/10 levels felt like monotony and even on the last level I was sometimes winning fights before all my characters even had a turn. I got thrown a couple curveballs but it was easy to adapt to them once you saw them.
The overarching story is super dull, but the individual levels have a mini story / quest to complete which provides some variety.
I won't replay it but it was good enough for me to finish my one play through and feel satisfied.

If you like turn-based, card-based RPG's in a comic book style, you will love this game.

I absolutely fell in love with this game when I got it. I played through it all, explored every square of every ship, and not once had a bug or crash.
The art, that comic book feel that it has to it, I absolutely love.
The game play was fun, the random encounters a blast. I saw it had DLC out and as I hadn't played it since the first non-stop, sleep deprived run, decided to DL it and give it a go again. It's still as fun as I remember it being. Now I'm hooked all over again. Near 40 hours of bug/crash free gameplay here.
I see other "overwhelmingly positive" deck builders and have tried some of them. They just seem kind of bland, lacking something. This game doesn't feel that way to me.

Its a fun, rather punishing turn-based strategy that gives you the tools to break it over your knee and dominate every enemy tossed at you no problem if you have the understanding of how
