Overview
Description

Deus is a 1996 survival simulation adventure where you play Officer Trepliev, now a bounty hunter tasked with rescuing a research station from the New Crusaders. The game builds on the complex health monitoring and surgery mechanics of its predecessor, Robinson's Requiem, while adding an optional action mode that removes those systems for faster gameplay. The single‑player experience blends science‑fiction storytelling, strategic survival, and adventure elements, offering both meticulous simulation and a more arcade‑style option for players who prefer action.

Starforge drops you onto the distant planet Atlas, a procedurally generated frontier where humanity's last hope hangs in the balance. Gather resources, craft gear, and construct sprawling bases while fending off intelligent alien threats in a dark, serious sci‑fi setting. The game blends RTS strategy, FPS combat, RPG progression, and voxel sandbox creativity, letting you shape your own story on a living planet. Play solo or with friends as you explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate in a relentless survival adventure.
