#deep sixed

Recently released Deep Sixed brings space exploration strategy to Kickstarter. Hence the games coined a suicide mission to explore a massive nebula on Linux, Mac and Windows PC. Hence using duct tape and your ingenuity to live another day. While currently being developed by Little Red Dog Games. Hopefully the crowdfunding campaign will bring the cross-platform adventure to life. A secretive corporation that holds a monopoly on the technology necessary to "fold space". And since travelling light-years shows an obsessive interest in a large uncharted nebula. Hence players explore a distant arm of the galaxy in Deep Sixed. So to make things more interesting, the Pilot is working off the remainder of her sentence. Hence the position as an involuntary stellar cartographer for this corporation. Therefore she is issued a small spacecraft that is equipped with a finicky deep space scanner. While being aided by the support of an infantile Artificial Intelligence unit. Yet following orders to map as much as possible and report back with her findings.

Deep Sixed features for Linux, Mac and Windows:

Life without an "undo" button. Your ship stays with you from start to finish. If something breaks, it'll stay broken until you figure out how to fix it.

Universe of procedurally generated mysteries for the ambitious explorer.

Diverse ecosystem of intergalactic fauna with their own predator, prey and scavenger roles to play.

Steep difficulty-curve that will push your ability to stay calm under pressure to the limits.

A compelling story of friendship and compassion that promises to surprise and entertain.

So from the Kickstarter video, the games appearance seems to a combination of FTL meets Stellaris Leviathans. While mixing some classic Star Trek aspects to bring it all together. And since there is a fair bit to learn in games overall experience. Plus the gameplay itself looks like a mix of actual ship command. Along with puzzles, space combat, exploration and simulator. So there is a lot of potential here. Deep Sixed is seeking support for their Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign. While a release is expect for November 2017 for Linux, Mac and Windows PC via Steam.

Deep Sixed (PC, 2018)

If you like multitasking and having to keep a whole lot of plate’s spinning at the same time in a sci-fi dystopia that is as tongue-in-cheek as it is unforgiving, do I have a game for you. Deep Sixed was getting called a “roguelite” but that is only because people really want procedural generation and high difficulty to be genre elements. It doesn’t have a whole lot in common with recent roguelites and certainly doesn’t have anything to with Rogue outside of those two things. Deep Sixed is more its own enjoyable beast.

It plays like a cross between FTL, Cook Serve Delicious, and a Lucas Arts’ adventure game. There is a story of course but most of your time is spent trying to keep the bucket of rusted bolts you are in spaceworthy. Most failures come entirely from not managing the demands of your ship in time and oh boy is there a lot to manage. Most of the aspects of your ship can break down and can only be repaired or maintained in a very specific way, which can be found in the in-game manual. The very, very large in game manual. A simple repair might have one or two steps, but the more important and dangerous ones get much more in depth.

It’s a fun thing really, because at first you start to wish that something would carry over into your next playthrough after you die in order to make things a little easier on your nerves, but then you remember all the steps to one of the more simpler repairs, and then all of the steps to a more difficult one. When your realize the thing you are carrying over from one death to the next is your own accumulated knowledge of the game’s systems it feels very rewarding.

Deep Sixed Sounds Like Linux on the Desktop in Space: The Game, But Fun

A few times a year I spend anywhere from 5 to 15 hours digging through some Linux garbage. Deep Sixed is a spaceship management roguelike game in space about managing a spaceship the way we see in movies. Tom Chick: Deep Sixed also loves that moment in Dark Star. Maybe not specifically that moment, but that kind of moment. Actors…

Deep Sixed PC Steam Review

It’s fairly common in games to play the part of the courageous star ship captain, leading a highly trained crew of an advanced Star Ship to face the unknown, save planets and discover new species and technology. This is where Deep Sixed is different. You’re not a Star Ship Captain, you don’t have any crew except for a slightly wonky AI, and your ship is little more than a rickety bucket of bolts…
