Unlike X-Com, you never get the feeling that the game actually hates you. Pretty soon you are flitting about putting out fires while being limited by funding and the game’s stellar geography and FTL movement rules. You start off with a mobile shipyard, the Daidolos, and as with X-Com, you must keep the support of member nations (Colonies) to fund bigger and better fleets as you prosecute the war against the Cylons. There are lots of wannabes usually one or two ship tactical affairs on the order of Star Fleet Command rather than something to satisfy your inner Admiral Nelson.ĭeadlock is a sandbox campaign with 14 main story missions interspaced with randomly generated secondary missions and skirmishes. But true fleet-level capital ship action has been pretty scarce and mostly unknown on the Switch which is known for serving up lighter fare. For the first time in ages someone came pretty close to a home run in a space battle-line game and its actually available on the Switch I say “battle-line” as there have been tons of fighter based games and honestly I remember playing Wing Commander in college wishing that I was flying a viper instead of Wing Commander’s ship of the week.


Having said that, it’s not what is interesting about this game.
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA DEADLOCK GUIDE SERIES
Even the camera angles in the optional post-battle replays replicate the series camera angles and visuals. It does an excellent job of recreating the look, feel and sound of the show. Black Labs Games’ Battlestar Galactica Deadlock is based on the Sci-Fi Channel “re-imagining” rather than the 1978 original.
