Reviews

“Setting itself apart from other deckbuilding games is [Dark Sky's] focus on story and the chance to explore a realised, well-designed world.”
GameSpew

“Dark Sky melds together the deckbuilding of Slay the Spire with the deep RPG options of games like Shadowrun Returns.”
PCGamesN

About This Game

Dark Sky offers a fresh experience for deckbuilding and RPG players, featuring character card customization, strategic combat, and clever card synergies to explore. Build your decks, choose your party, and prepare for battle!

Engage in card and grid-based combat and take turns to plan your party’s actions to optimize their abilities and defeat your enemies.

  • Deploy your party - your choice of characters significantly impacts your playstyle and toolkit for each battle.

  • Study the enemy’s intent. Navigate the grid to avoid their attacks or risk staying in the line of fire to get a better shot at them.

  • Inflict noxious status effects to exploit enemy weaknesses and combine them to trigger powerful reactions for additional effects.

Combine your character decks into a combat deck that showcases their strengths. Add new cards and unlock powerful upgrades as characters level up.

  • Craft new cards for your heroes with resources collected during the campaign.

  • Upgrade cards with a branching card upgrade system. Each card has a unique progression tree for you to customize.

  • Experiment with builds! Tailor your decks to shape each hero’s playstyle. Save multiple decks at a time and be ready for any situation.

Meet a vibrant array of playable characters, each with their own set of cards and distinct playstyle. Their personalities range from stoic and solemn to buoyant and whimsical, but all are deeply committed to saving their homeworld.

  • Deploy protective barriers with Squig. He creates holographic clones that double as cover or turrets.

  • Zap your enemies with Norton. His electric abilities can dish out high damage from afar, and he can charge them for even more power.

  • Dart across the field as Agama. With her quick limbs and wits, she’s always in the right place at the right time.

After a mysterious force starts pulling spaceships out of the sky, death and destruction rain down on the frontier mining planet of Wolf Prime, littering its surface with wreckage, debris, and danger. Wolf Prime is a hub for species from all over the known galaxy, all of whom will play a part in the narrative and mystery at hand, but it is up to you to solve the mystery behind the apocalypse and save Wolf Prime from impending doom.
