Duskers

Overview

The true pleasure of playing Duskers is in mastering its interwoven systems. When your fingers are flying across your keyboard and drones are dutifully following your every command, Duskers makes you feel powerful. The cold sense of dread the setting provides never really goes away, but as you gain knowledge and resources, your confidence grows. Ultimately, Duskers is about allowing yourself to believe that you're really sitting on a rickety old space ship, with only drones for friends. You're alone, but not without hope. You may not conquer the universe, but you'll eventually learn how to survive it.

In the end, Duskers isn't simply about moving from point A to point B with the biggest weapons and the most powerful robots. It's about finding a quiet space in the real world where you can pretend to be stranded inside a wounded old spaceship. It's about forming bonds with lifeless metal drones and giving them names. It's about worrying over the real, nameless human beings who've vanished without a trace.
