This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Basically, you carry out missions and keep the ship running, fixing technical issues and trying to keep on top of replacing used parts and upgrading the ship. Artstyle is cute – It’s like a point-and-click with super nice art. When it comes to actually fixing problems, the game doesn’t explicitly tell you how to fix anything (outside of the tutorial mission) – You gotta use the in-game manual, which has helpful things you can click on to bring you to relevant pieces of documentation. Not for the faint of heart, but very much recommended.

This game is hilarious, and also it’s fun trying to learn how to do all of the things you need to do in the game, and see all the layers of absurd complexity in even the most simple tasks. I recommend it.

Deep Sixed scratches a strange itch for unique mechanics and panicked flicking through a manual to solve problems. The manual also allows for a Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes cooperative fun. I wish there were more games like this, or more by this developer in the same vein.

This game was a great time, I really enjoyed it. It’s a roguelike in that when you die it’s straight back to the beginning but is otherwise unlike more-or-less anything else I’ve played. You’re on a rustbucket of a space ship, sentenced to use it to explore a nebula for crimes which really don’t matter to this review. You’re sent on missions to explore, seek destroy etc. for which you are given currency to maintain or upgrade your ship. Your ship is, as I say, a rustbucket and needs constant maintenance so you’re usually fighting fires (often literally) as you go about your missions. Take the developers’ advice and print out a paper copy of the manual, it’s much better than using the in-game one. Ignore the negative reviews saying that it’s too hard and that RNG is a major factor, they haven’t got the hang of the game is all. It didn’t take too long to get to grips with it, internalise the manual and know when to stick around and when to cut and run. I can now reliably reach the end without dying on the way. I’ve also reached the point where I’m a little bit bored of doing the same tasks over and over again but that has come at the same time that I’ve finished the game, so I would say it doesn’t outstay its welcome. Fun, challenging at times and occasionally funny. I can wholeheartedly recommend Deep ixed to anyone, expecially those who think that keeping a deathtrap of a spaceship running just long enough to complete their mission sounds like a good time.

This game reminds me of Myst, Euro Truck Simulator, Elite Dangerous, Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, and FTL. It it’s core, Deep Sixed is a resource management and memorization roguelike. You are stuck in deep space with a busted up ship, and as part of your involuntary indentured service, you have to take missions, which earn you credits to repair and upgrade your ship. The ship systems require constant maintenance, and the game includes a digital and printable manual that you can reference, or pass off to a friend for co-op action. I haven’t completed a full run yet, but I’m several missions in, and I enjoy the sense of mastery over this tub. I know what to do when the scanner displays error 105, I know how to modulate lasers, replace control boards, and hit the vent just right to reactivate a stuck fan. The game has a good sense of humor about the hopelessness of the situation, and I enjoy the relationship that develops between the player character and the AI companion. Things can and will go wrong, but it’s fun to acknowledge what could have gone better, submit to [asphyxiation, explosion, overheating], and commit to doing a better job the next time. I’d recommend this game to the following: Those that enjoy mastering a complicated process, folks that wish they could play spaceship mechanic, and anyone who likes it when the operations of a spacecraft are fleshed out a bit in sci-fi. I can see myself enjoying this game for many more hours. I’d definitely recommend.
