Take command of a Cold War-era nuclear corvette in space with Deck & Conn

Publisher MicroProse revealed Deck & Conn, a single-player turn-based tactics game that places players in command of a Cold War-era nuclear corvette — in space.

It's being developed by a new studio, FUNTIME ELECTRICS, from Elissa Black the co-creator of Objects in Space, Swords of Freeport, and Metrocide. Deck & Conn is a homage to classics like the 1971 Star Trek mainframe game. I do love my space games and chunky retro graphics and all things Star Trek, so this looks like it was made for me.

More about it from the press release:

In Deck and Conn, players must lead their crew through a relentless forever-war among the stars. Every patrol brings tough choices: respond to distress calls, capture or destroy enemy ships, upgrade your systems, and manage scarce resources — all while shaping the legacy of your vessel and crew.

Whether facing the branching challenges of a dynamic campaign or honing skills in standalone tactical scenarios, Deck and Conn demands precision, adaptability, and decisive leadership.

Highlights:

• Command a Cold War-inspired nuclear space corvette in a retro-futuristic sci-fi universe.
• Turn-based tactical combat with limited resources and intricate system management.
• Dynamic campaign with war patrols, ship upgrades, and crew promotions.
• Standalone combat scenarios to master tactical fundamentals.
• Capture or destroy enemy vessels to gain rewards and shape your ship’s reputation.
• Hand-crafted pixel art inspired by early ’90s MicroProse classics.
• Follow HQ orders and make high-stakes decisions in the endless war.
