About This Game Deadnaut is Screwfly Studios' second game and follow up to cult hit, Zafehouse: Diaries.Deadnauts, so named because they’re unlikely to return, must explore, investigate and fight their way through the derelict ships of dead civilisations. Every mission is unique and no two locations are the same. Each ship contains mysterious enemies and hostile security systems. Manage your Deadnauts' skills, talents, relationships and flaws - and you might get them out alive.Features Squad-based tactics: Control five complex characters as they explore, investigate and fight their way through each mission Character generation: Create back stories for your team, mould their relationships and equip them well Every game is unique: Dynamically-generated missions and campaigns ensure no two mysteries are the same Flexible and complex: Adapt to your situation with an arsenal of weapons and shields, or use stealth, hacking and sensors to move unnoticed Out of control: Deadnauts have their own fears, motivations and dispositions. Stay in charge, keep in contact, don’t let them out of your sightThere are many ways to play Deadnaut. You can focus on combat and offense with a heavily-armed crew, or go quietly with sensors, cloaks and shields. Use randomly generated Deadnauts, or fine-tune your crew with the character generator. It’s your call.Deadnaut is a challenging game. Not all strategies will work all the time. Instead, you'll need to equip your squad with the right tools, maximise your Deadnauts' respective talents, and adjust your approach when things go wrong.About Screwfly StudiosWe're a two-man developer based in Australia, dedicated to creating deep, innovative strategy games for PC.

I might update it at some point. All in all a great roguelike game. Great atmosphere, superb sound design, fitting (if somewhat minimalistic) graphics, creepy enemies and lots of equipment to research and outfit your Deadnauts with. The game does a great job making you feel like a remote mission planner.. you feel very distant and disconnected from the life and death struggle of your Deadnauts on a strange alien ship. Yet, at the same time, you become more and more attached to these sensor blips on your screen after each (usually harrowing) mission.But there are also a few things I find lacking. While I do like the challenging difficulty, the game just sometimes grabs you by the b***s and doesn't let go until you're dead. And that can happen in the very first mission, which makes this game rather frustrating for newcomers. If you can't handle RNG and missions going from everything is dandy straight to hell in a matter of seconds, you should stay away from this game. But that goes for any roguelike, really. Another complaint I have, is that you can't seem to hire new Deadnauts during a campaign. You can only clone your existing five Deadnauts.. which makes playing the game with randomly generated characters completely unappealing, because you can just create five very good minmaxed Deadnauts since you're stuck with the same guys for the entirety of a campagin anyway. Which makes the game's claim that Deadnauts are expendable (says so in the intro) untrue. Another thing I found annoying is that you can't abort a mission. You have to complete the objective, before you can evacuate your Deadnauts from the alien ship.. why? It would be cooler, if you could abandon missions, xcom style. Also, the mission objectives themselves seem to be lacking in variety. In about four hours of playtime and probably 10 - 15 missions I only ever had two objectives: to either find the ship's log or to destroy mysterious artifacts. But maybe I have been only unlucky sofar, since the missions are randomly generated. And the missions themselves (layouts) have been fairly varied.It would also be nice, if the game would allow you to carry over researched equipment from one campaign to another. Starting at zero every single time you start a new campaign can become quite tiresome.Despite those flaws (well, they are flaws only in my opinion ofc.) I still think this is a great atmospheric and in style unique game which deserves a closer look. There is a demo available on Screwflie's Deadnaut page, as far as I am aware.In it's current state, I would give this game an HONEST 7\/10 (honest as in 5 is average and everything above that is good). A great, but not perfect, game!UPDATE: It took me about 7.5 hours to complete my first campaign (including character creation, so actual playtime was probably closer to seven hours). Sooner than I expected.. but then again, the game does offer high replay value. Mission objectives have become more varied since I started over, so that's good. But I did notice another annoying thing: you perform actions by clicking on ingame popup texts (such as investigate, hack, etc...). The problem is that your Deadnauts can sometimes only interact with those, if you rotate your camera to a different angle.. which can be really infuriating in situations where every second counts. Luckily this bug happened only infrequently. I can still recommend this game to roguelike fans who don't mind the other stuff I have listed.. Tense and very difficult, this isn't a game for everybody. Your interface is very faliable, and at times comes under direct attack. You will lose your visual display, your communications will be cut preventing you from issuing orders, your troops may panic, or go space crazy at times. If you can't stand games that use the interface as a difficulty mechanic and occasionally remove control from your hands, this isn't going to be your game.Having said that you will not be getting your hands dirty in this game. Instead you get a chance to be one of those guys that sits in a comfy chair back on the ship, watching the commando team as it breaches the spooky alien vessel through a glowing CRT, sipping a fine scotch whiskey as the whole mission goes pear-shapped and everybody gets killed. Don't worry, you can always hire another crew. The important thing is that you didn't even need to wear pants for this operation.. So, this is an early review. A VERY early review. Literally had two attempts at the first mission, and died both of them. (Should've rolled my own characters, I guess, and not relied on random ones!)But so far it's utterly compelling - a very different take on the usual roguelike or Space Hulk-type games. The display screen system is inspired, the graphics are clean and incredibly good, and it's definitely going to get a lot more play going on. I especially like the character generation system and some of the in-game comms (both the character banter and having to tweak the system power to reduce interference). Sound is atmospheric, controls are fairly intuitive, and whilst it's a touch unconventional, it really is a bargain.I've only scratched the surface of Deadnaut so far, but it's looking to be a corking indie title. Well worth a try.. ProsComplete control over your crew customizationWell thought out game mechanicsEasy to use controlsFun to playHaven't run into any bugs(Yet)ConsNo tutorialFrustratingDeadnaut, is really not an accurate name for this game as more often then not im dead again. Luckly for me i can be a glutton for punishment which this game has in spades.Im mainly going to address my con list here as i feel like although the game has cons they are also part of the gameplay. No tutorial is a con simply because there is so much to understand and if you just go straight to new game you'll just die instantly with no idea why. Such as what each part of your UI does, took me three campaigns before i figured out where to see what an enemies health was, and i still dont know how to see the HP of my own crew members.Frustrating is certianly gonna happen, mostly at the start of the game because as mentioned before there is a small amount of information given to youOver all though it is a game i would recomend because although it is hard to understand and frustrating at times. It has the great quality of being able to make you want to play it one more time because this time you know how to do it better.. So, this is an early review. A VERY early review.

Well worth a try.. "How many drops is this for you Lieutenant?""38... simulated""How many *combat* drops?""Uuuuhh, two... including this one"That's my thoughts on it so far after my first two games folks: You're pretty much Gorman running the show, except this time you're hanging out in Operations while you send 5 marines (and the tech guys lack weapons) into the Nostromo...A Nostromo that's infested with Alien Queens and rogue AIs and hostile gun turrets.This here's a hard game, and I love it it bits. Highly recommended for those who like a tactical challenge where things can (make that WILL) go wrong; being able to adapt accordingly to surprises is the name of the game. If you can't, you will learn to do so :)Always remember: Your plan will not survive contact with the enemy :D. You lead a crew of Deadnauts as they scavenge the wreckage of derelict ships.PROS+ Interesting idea+ Decently built atmosphereCONS- Confusing gameplay all around- Boring- No tactics- No music?- What's the story again?I loved the idea behind the game. It reminded me of Lt. Gorman from Aliens when the Colonial Marines went into LV-426 to investigate and he was on the dropship watching and directing their movements. Then I was dropped into the game with no tutorial. I took a minute to work my way across the console. Very interesting idea. I like it. There could be a lot of things streamlined, but it adds to the almost steampunk nature of it, in my mind. I think I understand the console well enough. I find out how to breach my first ship.I work my way across the ship realizing there are no tactics. You just select all your people and move them together... they shoot together... You could take the time to individually move each person, but by the time they all got into position the alien they faced would be dead or gone. There are no tactics. So I continue investigating the ship and collecting data. I figure out how to read ship logs and get some idea of a story. I keep searching. I have no hacker so I can't hack. Don't know what hacking does anyway. I have some defensive player. Don't know what she really does even though I read her gun stats. Battles happen way too fast for me to make use of her anyway. I keep searching. Where's the music? This is getting boring. The graphics are basic, obviously, so there's nothing to really look at. Even reports on the aliens lack any identifying features. No photos. You're fighting orbs. I finish and evacuate the ship.I find another ship. Repeat everything from ship 1. Hey, one enemy orb shoots rockets or something at you. A new enemy! It looks like the other enemy orb. Oh, somebody died. I can't really read this health gauge properly. I try to move my people to cover or something but it's just a wild west shootout. A couple more die. I decide I don't care. It's either death or the lonely blackness of space with no music. I don't know which is worse. I keep playing for a while. I'm bored with it all. I quit.That's esentially the game. The negatives could have EASILY been corrected. Add ambient music or radio chatter (chatter comes through in text). It should be a turn based system with cover to add some excitement during battle and allow us time to use our weapons and gadgets, not just a shooter. There needs to be a better explanation of what everything is and why. The messy interface is interesting, but make it logical so people know where to go to find things they are picking up.. While this is a game with a lot of hidden depth, I'm reviewing it to counter a lot of the reviews saying "The game isn't hard, just give all your guys guns and stick together: walk thru campaign in 2 hrs". Sure, I have done that. And also I have had the exact same squad ripped apart in the first room they found. The enemies are random. Against some, run and gun may infact work. More often than not, you wont make it out of the gate. A very spooky game, part strategy, part jump scare, part warning against the dangers of cloning :D. This is only a first look review after about four hours playtime. I might update it at some point. All in all a great roguelike game.
