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.

Schönes Spiel, würde ich wieder kaufen. Autobattler ohne Zeitstress.
gut
Wohl einer der wenigen Autobattler die man wohl an einer Hand abzählen kann, die tatsächlich etwas taugen und auch Stunden lang spass machen. Besonders jetzt mit dem Koop Modus ist das game ein banger das ich nur empfehlen kann!
Incredible take on the inventory based roguelite autobattler scene. More slots and item types and yet somehow far less tedious than its competitors. Cannot recommend DWTS enough. 10/10.
fun game even in EA
game is amazing, it has me completely addicted. Best auto battler ive played, hidden gem. Game deserves to be huge. Easy to learn, hard to master.
I play this alt tabbed while I work
Really fun to play, replayabillity through randomness if you play random hero mode.
Enjoying it is hands off once battle starts. FTL was a little stressful :)
its fun, you build a ship, you pvp, you rearrange the ship, you buys stuff, you upgrade stuff, you improve the ship, now the ship is symmetrical!?!!? ok now it's not again it has a big wing full of guns, now you are rusting out the opponents ship???? wait now we're hauling cargo dawg, that is our mission more cargo more damage and upgrades. AND NOW WE ARE DOING MORE DAMAGE AND THE SHIP IS BIG AND IMA REARRANGE IT AGAIN. 9.2/10
