‘Deckonauts’ Has You Constructing and Powering up a Bunny World

Deckonauts is a factory-style recreation, the place you play as an individual answerable for commanding robots to construct, terraform, and energy up bunny planets.

I performed a demo at BCN Recreation Fest the place I did get pleasure from how properly the sport was made. You management a bit set of bunny individuals who want to change completely different locations on this planet. Utilizing your deck of playing cards, it’s essential create a sequence of various power pulses that fulfill the situations of the infrastructure that’s wanted for the present civilisation that you just want to develop. The rounds work in a method that you just get to spend your power on playing cards, putting towers or gadgets onto the grid-style world, then the grids activate earlier than your flip begins once more.

Every world has a set variety of cycles that might be accomplished earlier than it’s essential win the sport. Deckonauts is a kind of video games that do require quite a lot of pondering and planning forward, but additionally a little bit of luck in terms of your playing cards. Within the flip the place pulses activate, you possibly can watch your completely different reactors pulse out an orb, which might activate different items across the map, hopefully activating the issues which might be required for the top of the extent.

I don’t play quite a lot of most of these turn-based video games, however the tutorial of Deckonauts was straightforward to observe and I discovered myself fixing ranges with a little bit of pondering earlier than shifting onto the following. Among the later worlds within the recreation itself do look fairly difficult, with numerous completely different playing cards that may find yourself in your deck, restricted area on the map, and bits of the world which might be already blocking key factors you may need needed to make use of.

Deckonauts is at the moment in improvement, however within the meantime, you possibly can add it to your Steam Wishlist.
