Derelict

Derelict is a top-down sandbox shooter set in the far future. You wake from stasis long after humanity has fallen and try to survive in a hostile galaxy, scavenging abandoned spacecraft, space stations and the crumbling remains of human settlements left behind by thousands of years of colonization.

A hostile galaxy

The galaxy still holds dangers: genetically modified organisms adapted to hostile environments, ancient mechanoids with corrupt AI, rival scavengers, and hordes of humans infected by a genocidal nanite plague. Derelict includes a tutorial, but otherwise leaves you to face these threats without much guidance.

Explore and scavenge

You explore hand-crafted and randomly generated environments, searching for dozens of weapons, ships and equipment pieces. Multiple difficulty settings range from roguelite to extremely challenging. You can encounter hordes of enemies and NPCs who may aid you or become targets, and seek out Grim Epitaphs—shrines that lament your death and offer loot.

Character and environments

The game uses 2D graphics and lets you customize your character. Its Redux overhaul adds new derelicts and planets, a remade space environment, new enemy types, new weapon and inventory systems, and more Grim Epitaphs.
