Deadnaut

Deadnaut is a squad-based tactics game in which you lead five characters through the derelict ships of dead civilisations. Your Deadnauts explore, investigate and fight their way through each mission, facing mysterious enemies and hostile security systems. They are unlikely to return, and you must manage their skills, talents, relationships and flaws if you hope to get them out alive.

Missions and campaigns

Every mission is unique, with dynamically generated locations and campaigns ensuring that no two mysteries are the same. You can create back stories for your team, shape the characters’ relationships and equip them, or use randomly generated Deadnauts. The game offers different approaches, but not every strategy works in every situation, so you must adjust your plans when things go wrong.

Tactics and equipment

You can outfit a heavily armed crew for combat, or rely on sensors, cloaks and shields to move quietly. Deadnauts can also use hacking and sensors to avoid notice. Choose weapons and shields to suit the situation, make the most of each character’s talents and equip the squad with the tools it needs.

Managing your crew

Deadnauts have their own fears, motivations and dispositions. Keep in contact with them and stay in control as you lead the team through each mission.
