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.

This is a fun game, and the demo is basically the full game limited to the starter stuff so try before you buy! I'm a big fan of the way the items interact in this game. I finished this season with my higher captain at Gold III! Fun stuff.
good game, good flow and the new 2v2 coop mode is a fine addition (but it needs more polishing). keep up the good work
Great game! auto battle with no timer, so take your time and think about it. Fit your ship together like tetris pieces
是好玩的,喜欢沙丘世界观的玩这个还有额外的乐趣。但是作为肉鸽,相比大巴扎来说随机性有点太低了,又缺少high roll,导致重复性有点高,可以公式每一把。好在角色非常多,想把每个角色都玩明白也需要不少时间了。
This game is a must have! Hands down the best auto battler I’ve played to date! And it has a 2v2 mode! What?! Here’s the best part! It runs so smooth on MacOS as well! Great job Iron Anchor Games!
Great grame, great gramphics, great grameplay
I like it
It scratches a similar itch to Backpack Battles, Oaken Tower, etc. but I feel like the variability of the starting items, factions, and captains give each run more uniqueness. Item placement bonuses also give you lots of fiddly ways to perfect your build so number go up.
[h2]An Amazing Co-Op Async[/h2] Short explaination, you know what Asyncro games are. The illusion of multiplayer, just snapshots of players builds, be that Backpack Battles, Despot's Game, He Is Coming, none of them have ever offered true multiplayer. In flies in Down With The Ship, a very competitive sci-fi PvP auto battler that has recently adopted the concept of letting you invite your friend to compete against everyone else in a 2v2 encounter. The depth has been fully expanded upon more fiercely than even the base game, there are players with well over 10000 battles under their belt, there is an endless sea of posibilities! [h2]Conclusion[/h2] If you love building things, creating huge synergies and watching them unfold before you, this is worth every penny, as you challenge everyone else with the things to concoct.
