About
Down with the Ship is a strategic auto‑battler about assembling your own hull, stuffing it with powerful hardware, and sending it to war against other players.
Connect hull pieces to expand your ship and make room for modules. Each round offers a new set of parts: guns, reactors, shields, cursed relics, and more. Buy what fits, lock what you need, and learn when a cheap common beats a flashy rare.
Positioning is the core of the game. Move parts around to manage resources, connect item effects, and stack bonuses. Build something reliable, or commit to one risky combo and hope it fires first.
Battles play out automatically, but you decide when your ship is ready to fight. Your current build is matched against stored ships from other players. Win, adapt, and keep going until your run breaks apart.
Each captain changes how you play, with different hull shapes, passives, and build paths. Lean into their faction’s tools, or mix in parts from other factions to make something less predictable.

Ranked Versus: Face player-made ships and push for 10 wins before your lives are spent. Climb the leaderboard with every successful run.
Casual Versus: Test builds against player-made ships without worrying about rank.
Endless Run: Hit 10 wins? Keep going until your ship loses 5 lives.

I don't post reviews often, but this is a really great game with a really great dev team. Wishing the best for its success.
Fantastic auto battler game. Been having a lot of fun so far. I hope that they can introduce like a Multiplayer Lobby List so that people can join games for the 2 vs. 2, instead of only a lobby code. My only criticism so far about the game is the (AI?) voice acting, a few of the VA + lines they say are cringy.
Every now and then, you play an early access game and can feel right away that it has 'the sauce.' This is absolutely one of those games.
I can't stand the new AI generated item/trinket flavor text that wasn't present a year or so ago in the demo, it's so obnoxious to read. And it makes me feel crazy because it stands out so clearly yet there's no way for me to prove that it's AI. If it were at least disclosed on the store page I'd have some closure and wouldn't be complaining in the first place, because I'd have known what I was buying. At least the game is fun, but I get so upset when I go to read the flavor text and end up disappointed from just reading LLM-isms. It would have been better to have nothing at all until actually interesting descriptions can be written.
I tried to demo before eventually buying this. Definitely play the demo! Its a very good indicator of what you can expect from the full game. The dev's deserve praise for such a strong demo experience. For its price, its a very fun autobattler, with plenty of fun, satisfying mechanics to play with. As a kid who loved Lego and space ships, this is kinda the perfect game for me lol. I've loved trying different builds, even if i know its probably bad, but enjoying hitting 10 wins regardless. I'm excited for the future of this game. More shop pivots for cool builds would be fun, and the stuff on the roadmap is quite exciting too.
Backpack battles on roids
