DERELIKT is both a great nostalgic tribute to old-school gaming and a genuinely good title that stands out on its own. The worldbuilding is excellent, the gameplay is fun despite being intentionally dated, and the horror is genuinely strong without relying on jump scares. There is very little to complain about with DERELIKT, especially if you go in knowing that it was designed to feel like it could have been released 30 years ago.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time with DERELIKT and feel it achieved exactly what it set out to do despite a few issues. It’s a shooter with retro aesthetics, minimal handholding, and manual saves, neatly packed in a sci-fi survival-horror shell. It’s an easy recommendation for fans of old-school shooters, which is clearly the target audience. Some players may find systems in DERELIKT archaic, while others will find them charming. If you’re in the latter camp, this plucky solo effort is a no-brainer.
DERELIKT is a narrative-heavy FPS that places players in the shoes of a badass lone wolf contractor sent to investigate the Von Neumann Outpost.
