Take command, Captain. Deck & Conn, the turn-based space tactics game inspired by classic computer games and Cold War naval warfare, will launch for PC via Steam on September 1, 2026.
Set in a future imagined through the technology of 1989, Deck & Conn places players aboard a nuclear-powered corvette fighting an endless war among the stars. Read coded orders, interpret incomplete sensor reports, allocate limited power, manage the ship and its crew, and make tactical decisions through an array of authentic retro terminals and instruments.
A new release date teaser offers a fresh look at the game’s distinctive low-tech vision of space warfare, where victory depends not on reflexes, but on information, preparation, and command.
KEY FEATURES
- Command from the captain’s chair – Navigate sectors, identify unknown contacts, select targets, load weapons, and issue orders through detailed shipboard interfaces.
- Keep the ship operational – Balance reactor output, batteries, fuel, sensors, communications, propulsion, weapons, and other essential systems with limited resources.
- Fight through a dynamic campaign – Undertake war patrols, respond to distress calls, receive priority orders from HQ, and shape the continuing history of your ship.
- Manage your vessel and crew – Promote crew members, improve the corvette, and prepare both for increasingly dangerous assignments.
- Choose how to engage – Track hostile vessels, target critical systems, and decide whether enemy ships should be captured or destroyed.
- Take on standalone scenarios – Test your command abilities in individual combat engagements outside the main campaign.
- Experience a retro future – Explore a richly atmospheric world of pixel art, CRT displays, coded communications, military bureaucracy, and Cold War technology carried into space.
