In space, no-one can hear you scream 'what a bargain!'
Duskers is a game about derelict spaceships. Well, maybe not that derelict. This is a strategy roguelike where you explore procedurally generated spaceships with a clutch of remotely piloted drones. The wrecks contain resources like scrap and fuel you need in order to continue exploring and, while all the humans are long-gone, other things lurk in the darkest corners.
If I had to point to one thing as the genius element of this game, it's the interpretation of fog of war. You have a top-down view of the immediate area around your drones, as well as a map view of the wider ship, and in another example of the charming lo-fi space vibe here you control them with console commands. The screen crackles and the ambient, unsettling audio make moving deeper feel dangerous before you've even seen anything, and when you over-reach you'll know in an instant.
,"and it’s equally satisfying when things go your way and when everything goes terribly wrong. The dangerous alien infestations that can quickly overpower your drones means caution and cleverness are your two most effective weapons, and randomization means every game is a bit different, letting you play again and again, never knowing quite what to expect."when it released and, if you're into lo-fi horror vibes, I'd even say you could add a few % on top of that.
