Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
135 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This is a newer mechanic to me which is why I found this game refreshing and primarily why I recommend it.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
97 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Destroying enemy cannons before they can fire, so your crew can enter the main fight at full health, while also taking out their more important modules, can make the main combat much easier.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
74 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay is fun, and I like the way the story is presented.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The music is atmospheric, leaning into orchestral sea shanty influences with a touch of the supernatural, and the voice acting does a solid job bringing characters to life.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics and audio are both nicely done, have a bit of a cartoonish look/feel to them, and are pretty pleasing overall.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
4 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I don't think most the negative reviews are justified but there would be no harm in waiting for a sale and further updates/tweaks; still a great game to play now and works smooth on steam deck but does suck battery.
