Down with the Ship

If you're a fan of auto battlers or inventory management this game is a [b]hidden gem[/b]. The setting is great, the style is gritty and reminiscent of the late 90s to early 2000's Sci-Fi, there's lots of pilots that are unique and cool, and the items are varied and can be used to create lots of different builds. There's both solo and a 2v2 game mode - with it's own unique items and synergies for duos - 10 and 20 Win runs, as well as Endless if you really feel unkillable, and more cool updates like the "Star Map" planned. No doubt there will be more in the future with the way the Devs have been updating this game. I tend to prefer auto battlers with less of the "Backpack Battles" style inventory management but for some reason it makes more sense and clicks easier in this game. There's a bit of a learning curve but it's not that steep, IMO. Once you start to get it, it all starts to make sense and the ideas transfer fairly well between the different pilots. It doesn't feel as easy to get lost in the amount of effects and items, even when your inventory size gets larger and larger, like it does in some other games in the inventory management category. As someone who had reservations about the inventory style, I find it difficult to step away from this game. Right now, it has a cult following but surely it's fan base will increase. The discord is filled with people who care deeply about the game and those looking to learn, teach, and improve it. Also, if you're a content creator I think this a great ground-floor game in the Auto Battler scene to jump in to and the game would only benefit from more of an online presence. If you even [i] think [/i] you'd enjoy this game, I'd recommend trying it, especially for the price. I see this game only going up from where it is.
