I really like this game. It has that claustrophobic, creeping horror feel of the first Alien movie. It's fairly simple to understand the gameplay initially, but mastering it takes a good bit longer in terms of experimentation and refining tactics. It's been out for a long, long time now, but routinely still gets updates. It's stable as a rock - I've never experienced any bugs or crashes, and it's always been smooth to play even on lower-end hardware. AND IT SUPPORTS LINUX AND MAC -- thank you for that extra effort, devs! The procedural nature of the galaxy creation for each run makes for a good bit of variety. And, I find myself getting attached to my little drones. The graphics are crisp and totally capture that Alien vibe, too. So absolutely, I recommend this game. The full price feels fair to me for what you get in the game. And apparently the dev is tinkering with the possibility of Duskers 2 (WOOT!).

Duskers is, by far, the scariest game I've ever played. Combined with near-Noita levels of difficulty, a fleshed-out story, and a unique artstyle, it's a true gem amongst the wilds of the Roguelite genre. Although RNG does play a factor in the success of a run, hubris and the flawed strategy that results will be your ultimate undoing every time. 10/10, no notes.

I started off in drone view, I was a peon utilizing the arrow keys and only the most basic of commands. Then one day, I discovered the alias command. I became a god amongst drones. I am now a power user, with the fastest keystrokes in the universe. In all seriousness, good game. Don't read any of the guides until you have to restart a couple runs. Half the fun is discovering new upgrades/enemies/ships... The story is a SLOW burn. If you're here for a narrative experience (or just an achievement hunter), I'd say you're in for at least 30 hours. The objective logs are long in coming.

I don't really know what to say, it's a great game. Very different from a lot of other things out there, but the atmosphere and story telling is fantastic somehow with the retro DOS style graphics it is able to pull you in.

Amazing game. Played on another platform for a while until moving here. Decent amount of replay-ability, but it can get stale near the end of a run if you have a good load out, It's pretty brutal, and the horror elements are so much better than a simple jumpscare. The horror here is a deep form of inescapable dread. Try not to get attached to your drones, and have fun!
