[hr][/hr] [quote=Me]I'll just swim up to this shark, what could go wrong[/quote] Even with my now 500+ hours I'm ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ scared of that [i]thing in the dark[/i]
This is seriously a unique gem of a game and it's a crime that it doesn't get more exposure. The devs are constantly working to improve and expand upon the game. Solo play is fun, but playing with friends is probably the optimal experience.
i want to really like this game being a fan of KSP. however this game is just way too early in dev to really play. once you get a boat, if the char leaves the boat there's no way to go back to building, my boat sank, i swam to the dock but couldn't do literally anything. couldn't go back to building, couldn't exit, all i could do was swim around and explore the island. even after dying from fall damage i was stuck there unable to do anything so i just quit and now refunding. i want to play this game more but there's no tutorial and the controls are not intuitive making this just way to difficult for the average person. i hope to revisit this game in a year or 2 and see how its developed but as of right now, i feel the game is unplayable.
TLDR: Nautikin Adventures is reminiscent of early KSP, featuring exploration, impressive physics, creative building mechanics, and solid multiplayer, highly recommended! Nautikin Adventures genuinely captures the nostalgic spirit of the early Kerbal Space Program alpha days, offering players an expansive world full of exploration opportunities and engaging mechanics. With its vast map and impressively realistic boat physics, the game delivers a satisfying experience whether you're casually sailing or constructing ambitious maritime projects. The building system is deep and versatile, allowing for significant creativity and experimentation. Importantly, Nautikin Adventures also boasts a fully functional multiplayer mode, greatly enhancing the experience by letting you explore and build alongside friends. Overall, the game is not only enjoyable but also deserves support as a promising indie title. It's definitely worth purchasing for the hours of fun you'll have.
this dev is awesome and is going strong with updates, even with the low player count. Plan to play more
So when i went into this game i bought it for 3 of my friends and wasn't really expecting much but the more i play the more we realized this is gem in the steam catalog that really does deserve praise. This game has features that i wouldn't expect to see in triple A games but this has for such a small price. Its funny and fun.
Very fun game with friends. There are bugs here and there but this game has a lot of potential
I found this game after scrolling through my 8th or 9th discovery queue yesterday. I had never heard of it before and almost scrolled right by. I'm glad I didn't. This game is great fun. It's like Kerbal Space Program before KSP2 ruined my enthusiasm for the brand. Imagine Stormworks, but you can play it without a software engineering degree. It's kinda like From The Depths, except here the buoyancy mechanics make sense. The game has a great in game tutorial that works flawlessly and in depth guides that are very well written. If you're a nerd who likes building boats and airplanes, give this game a try. If you're an angry nerd with more degrees than total lifetime sexual partners who gets off on nitpicking simulations for not accurately modeling Shporkshire Von Krotchschleim's 43rd Theory of Fluid Dynaministics, get lost. This wonderful little game has hardly any exposure, while there are still people giving KSP2 positive reviews. Make it make sense.
This is well thought out well developed game with a bright future. Can't argue with its mechanics and the dev is actively updating the game so it's clear it's getting plenty of love. Can't believe such a well made game is so cheap and not out yet and so little.
Incredible game able to build anything your heart desires can’t wait for future updates and see what gets added & full release, exploring around the map is pretty fun too I would definitely recommend this game to anyone that likes building and exploration games
