Challenging space survival adventure Derelict Void is out now

By - | Views: 14,618

FTL mixed with a little colony management and a brutal difficulty, that seems like what you get with the space survival adventure game Derelict Void that's out now.

Manage a ship, its crew and scavenge for resources while you fight the ruthless and unforgiving nature of the game that sees you learn as you go and die often. Originally funded on Kickstarter, a campaign we seemed to entirely miss that didn't actually say it was coming to Linux but here it is.

This looks fun. You know what would be killer, is something like Valheim... but in space. I guess Avorion seems like a good candidate for that. But I'm trying to get into that, and building every tiny little block of my spaceship seems a little tedious.
