A very nice rogue-like tactical game. The tactical combat is a lot of fun. The numbers are very low, there's a ton of situational bonuses and forced movement, and there's 0 random chance in combat, so its kinda a tactical RPG, and kinda a puzzle game figuring out exactly how to use your units and situational bonuses to eliminate foes. The vibes are very good, a weird, fantastical piratey world that feels a lot like pirates of the carribean with larceny and spooky curses enough variance options in starting crew, equipment, and ship upgrades that it feels like If I got into it I could go a long while without it feeling too boring and repetitive.

RTS is one of my favourite, I got this game when I bought random steam keys online and it lands on my preference

Игра имеет странный баланс и немного багов. Дополнительных персонажей видимо делали по началу сюжетными, но потом сделали обычными наёмниками с рандомизацией способностей, из-за чего у нас может быть много девушек (только девушек) с мушкетами с испанским акцентом, а отличаться могут только дополнительными способностями. В целом игра имеет довольно много предметов... по началу, но потом понимаешь, большинство из них нафиг не нужно, хоть и можно найти применение. Не нравится, что в начальных модулях слишком много акцента на конкретного персонажа, из-за чего игра как будто требует играть только сборкой в одного персонажа (тех же испанок-мушкетёрок), при этом много на абордаж с собой не возьмёшь - на корабле врага всегда должно быть 4 союзника с небольшим отклонением, которое фактически не изменяется (видел только два модификатора, один у врага, который надо обязательно уничтожить, а второй эпически редкий модуль на корабль). Чтобы быстро не открыли все улучшения в убежище, их сделали очень дорогими, но их мало и в количестве и в разнообразии. Слишком дорога - покупать только по скидке, причём большой. Мне нравится минималистичная тактика - нет 1000 здоровья, просто пару единичек, которая уничтожается таким же количеством ударов или особым подходом. При этом вероятностей удара здесь нет (есть, но только в событиях и немного в морских боях на пушках). Приятная графика и нормальный текст.

This is a good game but it gets stale after a while. About a dozen hours in, I realized that they wouldn't introduce any more mechanics and there would be no more meaningful progression. I still had fun after this point but the last couple missions to complete the story were a slog. That isn't to say this game isn't good. It has polish and I love the style they've injected into the game. The rougelite runs are fun and have some unique events. I like the turn based strategy of the ship battles and the tactical fights. The skills, the items, the progression and stuff is all good. However there isn't enough of it. The specialist classes have some clear winners that are stronger than others simply because they can do multiple damaging, debuffing or movement actions per turn with no downside. (swapper, backstabber, noble, cutthroat, sometimes spearmaiden) This makes the other classes basically dead and not worth using. I think the game would really benefit from more depth. There simply aren't enough items, aren't enough events, aren't enough choices to make during battles. If you compare this to any other leading rougelite, this game has maybe 1/10th of the content. Other rougelites rely on emergent gameplay where different elements combine to make synergies. The framework is in this game to support such a system but it hasn't been actualized. In practice the combat & itemization is so straightforward that once you figure it out you no longer need to think. The choices you make on the map are surface level and have no permanent effects. Each choice the game presents you with has an obvious "good" choice. There are 1 or 2 OP BROKEN items but most of them are incremental increases in power at best. The difference between a common and legendary cannon is sometimes 1 damage per shot, for example. In battle there is no RNG, the fights are deterministic and you can rollback your choices. I actually LIKE being able to rollback my choices on my turn. But since the fights happen in tiny maps, you aren't really doing grand strategy here. It's more like a simple puzzle. Even on the higher difficulties you can resolve most fights in 1-3 turns. There are also a few weird UI bugs. When you upgrade the ship, the upgrades don't apply on screen til you close the menu and reopen. Selecting characters in battle is weird. The selection square when using controller will often disappear. The useless Hull upgrades only recently got removed in a patch, I'm sure in preparation for the new DLC. All that said I still put nearly 40 hours in and I beat the game. I had a good time with it. I just can't help but wonder how good this game would be if the issues were addressed.

Fajnie wyważone między bitawmi morskimi oraz abordażem dość zróżnicowane postacie fajny klimat i grafika można dostosować trudność przy każdym rajdzie trochę mało się czuje wage wyborów mało frakcji wrogów na poczatku przynajmniej za małe zróżnicowanie map jak dla mnie, np można by częściej używać mapy plaży
