Sci-fi strategy game The Banished Vault launched today for Windows and Mac through Steam, verified for use with the Steam Deck.

Developer Lunar Division's resource management strategy game revolves around space travel on the Auriga Vault, an interstellar gothic monastery crewed by the last remaining exiles of an apocalyptic disaster. The developers challenge players to explore procedurally generated solar systems, harvest resources, and construct outposts in orbit and on planet surfaces to ensure the survival of your crew. An introduction narrated by designer Nic Tringali can be viewed on publisher Bithell Games YouTube channel.

The dark, atmospheric music score for the game is by Paul Kilduff-Taylor (nervous_testpilot) and Oliver Horton (Dreamtrak). The soundtrack "embodies the soul of the game," reads the album description, "with moody, ambient pieces that reflect the loneliness of outer space — and the fear of what you still might stand to lose." The Banished Vault Original Game Soundtrack can be purchased through Bandcamp and is streaming on YouTube Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music Unlimited.
