Quantum Derelict

Honestly, I enjoyed this game. The loop is basically the same. You start off with minimal resources. You send you drones out to gather more resources, and improve your ship's capabilities. Improve your scanner, and you can reveal more resources per scan. Improve your quantum drive, and get more time in each area. So forth. You can also build more drones, and improve their capabilities. These drones stay with you, even when you eventually lose, making the next run easier. A timer counts down, and when it finishes your quantum drive jumps you into a new area if you are ready or not...which really is fine since each area is just randomized resources. Events can also happen, forcing you to jump to a new location to avoid an early game over. Eventually, you'll pick an area clean quickly and end up forcing your ship to jump early. Each jump gives you additional points you can use to improve your drones. Eventually, you'll be able to survive long enough to repair your communications array and call for help...but this is not the end of the game. Before the game is truly over, you end up reaching several false-endings. You'll have to play for yourself to see how it really …

Gameplay loop is tedious without time controls, and would benefit a lot from automation. The AI TTS voiceover detracts from the already iffy writing. Your first few runs will be long, boring death spirals. Everything this game would like to do is done better by Duskers. This developer might make good games in the future, but this is not one of them without some major changes.

great little hidden gem of a game.

Great game, it looks complex at 1st but it's quite simple actually. The story is very good if you are into cosmic horror / lovecraftian stuff. In a nutshell it's a mining/survival roguelite, well worth the price, lots of bang for the buck.
