When your crew is facing deep-space disaster, you can always rely on one man to rock up at the eleventh hour and save your sorry butts… Duke Nukem! That’s why we've enlisted legendary voice actor, Jon St. John, to provide the voice for the final crew member in their laser-powered, space survival strategy game, The Captain is Dead. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35524447/bac7cb902bc511bf0d5df1ada0746a939049a1d2.jpg N U K E M Jon lends his inimitable brand of machismo to the ship’s lovable (but slightly over-reaching) underdog, the Janitor, whose ability to fix shipboard systems with nothing but duct tape a

Stand by for action, brave commanders!

Fresh Update incoming!!! Check out new crew and features for The Captain is Dead! U P D A T E v 1.3 The latest update brings the Medical and Weapons Officers to the main build, ready to heal injured crew while grumbling incoherently, and dispense smooth torpedo justice to any jive-talking alien spaceships lurking off your starboard bow. You'll also notice the crew are a little... chattier than before, as the new banter system has been shaken down and integrated into the main release!

Fortunately he's fast, effective and immune to meddling alien invaders. Unfortunately if the ship's systems get damaged he can end up trapped in the CPU core where he's as much use as a chocolate teapot... so keep an eye on tho

We've been working like crazy on the next update, and I'm excited to say that it's a biggie! Aside from a major pass on the animation, to improve the silky smoothness, we're adding two new characters (the versatile Hologram, and mysterious Scholar) and 36 brand-new achievements. You may have already heard that these Medals (as we like to call them) are all rock hard. Our team have only been able to hit a paltry nine of them so far... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35524447/e30cbe4e6dda513960298490d7af9e2123b319d3.jpg That's why we need help from you - the fearless, alien-fighting, ship-saving badasses - t

Let's cut straight to the chase here, people: Achievements are for the weak! Most games reward you for just booting them up... but not The Captain is Dead. No sirree! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35524447/ce17eec7eb5b214052c47466ed2f86dcf10a24db.jpg We've decided to do things differently with our Achievements, and have crafted them with the following tenets in mind... To have value, they must require effort. To reflect mastery, they must encourage advanced techniques. To have meaning, they must stay in context. To respect the player, there must be no grinding. That's why you won't get Achievements in Th

Fresh from starring in Immortals - Fenyx Rising for Ubisoft, and Blood of Zeus on Netflix, prodigious actor Elias Toufexis joins the crew of The Captain is Dead for some over-the-top, sci-fi survival strategy. If you’ve played a videogame in the last 10 years, you will undoubtably have heard Elias’ gravelly voice in titles like Splinter Cell Blacklist, Far Cry Primal, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and, of course, Deus Ex, in which Toufexis played the bionically enhanced detective, Adam Jensen… before cyberpunk was cool. Few actors can claim a showreel as impressive, but two things make Elias the pe
