I’ve been watching this game as I enjoy this genre, and it has spaceships! Anyway, there is a demo up now, and as suspected it is great on Deck!

I use the Keyboard and Mouse Steam input template, but touchscreen kinda works better. Give it a whirl and see what you think! Title is a link right to the store page.

I once spent a few days sketching out what sort of video game I would make, if I ever did. More as an exercise for myself (a developer nowhere near the game industry) rather than an actual plan. At the end of it, I had a sci fi setting with a handful of roguelike and deckbuilder elements. Shortly after, I discovered Breachway, and it felt like someone had been reading my mind. I love that they have a proper demo, and now I’m really excited to see the game approach its release!

That is so cool! I had actually forgotten about this game, until I saw it in this article that includes a bunch of other recommendations that are in these genres:

There's not enough roguelikes, deck builders, and survivors games in the sci-fi genre, imo, so I'm always glad to see another entry!

Very interesting, thanks for sharing
