From Press Release:
September 1, 2026 – Take the conn, Captain. Deck & Conn is available now for PC via Steam, accompanied by a new launch trailer showcasing its distinctive vision of low-tech space warfare.
The new launch trailer offers a closer look at the game’s atmospheric pixel-art presentation, system-driven gameplay, and Cold War command centre carried into deep space.
Set in a future imagined through the technology of 1989, Deck & Conn places players in command of a nuclear-powered corvette fighting an ongoing war among the stars. Interpret coded orders, investigate unidentified contacts, allocate limited power, manage the vessel’s interconnected systems, and make tactical decisions through an array of retro terminals and instruments.
Inspired by classic turn-based space games, naval warfare, and the complexity of life aboard a working vessel, Deck & Conn expands a familiar tactical foundation into a detailed command experience where information, preparation, and positioning can be as important as firepower.
KEY FEATURES
- Command the corvette – Start the reactor, follow the ship’s departure checklist, and operate its systems through detailed, diegetic interfaces.
- Manage power and resources – Balance reactor output, batteries, fuel, auxiliary power, sensors, propulsion, weapons, and defensive systems.
- Fight turn-based tactical battles – Navigate sectors, investigate contacts, manage range and positioning, target enemy systems, and choose whether hostile ships should be captured or destroyed.
- Operate with imperfect information – Use active and passive sensors, interpret incomplete reports, and respond to coded orders and distress calls from across the quadrant.
- Fight through a dynamic campaign – Undertake war patrols, improve the vessel, promote crew members, and build the continuing history of your ship.
- Experience a retro future – Explore a world of pixel art, CRT displays, coded communications, military bureaucracy, and Cold War technology among the stars.
Deck & Conn is available now for PC via Steam. Watch the new launch trailer and take command today.
An operating manual is also available now for new pilots!
