Deadnaut: Signal Lost is a sci-fi horror turn-based roguelike where loyalty isn't earned - it's installed. Scavenge derelict ships and abandoned moons filled with hellish creatures, brutal AI and insanity storms. Gather gear and upgrades to fight or evade the hi-tech supersoldiers hunting you down.
As the Handler, you remotely control a single Deadnaut - a treasure hunter exploring derelict spaceships, abandoned moons, and other perilous sci-fi settings. The turn-based gameplay requires carefully navigating procedurally generated levels, using the Deadnaut's scanners and sensors to gather information and make critical decisions.
At the start of each run, you can select from five distinct exosuit classes, such as the heavy-duty Labor suit, the stealthy Sensor suit, or the gravity-bending Energy suit. You can then further customize your Deadnaut by equipping a variety of weapons, sensors, shields, cloaking devices, and hacking tools.
A unique twist is the relationship between you, the Handler, and the Deadnaut. If the Deadnaut loses trust in you due to poor performance, you may need to bribe or "puppet" them to maintain control, introducing additional risks and consequences.
Players praise the tense, atmospheric nature of the gameplay, which rewards cautious, thoughtful decision-making. The variety of exosuit classes and equipment options allow for diverse playstyles, encouraging experimentation to overcome the game's challenges.
As you progress, you can unlock powerful "Sigil" modifiers that provide gameplay enhancements. The procedurally generated levels and enemy encounters ensure a high degree of replayability, as each run presents new strategic considerations.
