Abandon Ship

Abandon Ship

Discover a huge amount of unique, story-filled islands across diverse biomes and themed areas: Fight ghost ships in the Haunted Seas. Ward off giant arachnids in the Spider Islands. Regions filled with poisonous gas, icebergs, cannibals and much more await.

Engage enemy ships, fortifications and sea monsters in vicious combat, employing your best tactics to out-manoeuvre and out-gun the enemy. Weather and environmental conditions affect your battles: Tidal waves, lightning strikes, volcanic bombardments and blizzards are just some of the modifiers that impact your strategy.

Abandon Ship focuses on ‘Age of Sail’ ships in a Fantasy setting, framed in an Art Style inspired by classic Naval Oil Paintings.

Life in this world can be brutal. Death is permanent. But the journey doesn’t end if your vessel is destroyed. You are the Captain, and as long as the Captain is alive, there is always hope.

By escaping to a Lifeboat, or even being stranded, alone in the water, there is a chance to survive and fight your way back to the top.

Combat is tactical and savage. Each battle is hard-fought, always on the edge of defeat. Your only chance of overcoming the odds is to employ every advantage you can bring to bear.

Dozens of diverse weapons and upgrades are available to utilise on the various ship classes you can acquire. Customise your vessels appearance by capturing enemy ships intact. Your trusty crew gain experience and traits to help provide an edge over the enemy.

Explore a fantasy world that reacts to your actions. Engage in piracy and become a hunted Captain. Undertake quests that may drastically change the environment – or the entire world. Make decisions that create allies or enemies that return to help or seek vengeance.

Play multiple stories, including the main campaigns tale of overthrowing a Cthulhu-esque Cult, a Freeplay mode about rebuilding the legacy of your forebears, and shorter tales, such as the combat campaign focused on rescuing your sister, or Sword of the Cult, where you play as one of Father’s children, climbing the ranks until you’re granted the ultimate weapon: The Kraken.

Abandon Ship Review

Abandon Ship is a ship/crew management game that is a lot of fun, but somewhat shallow at this point in time.

The game has a lot of aspects similar to FTL (Faster Than Light), so if you’re a fan of that game you might want to keep an eye on this title as it progress through Early Access.

The visuals of the game is fantastic, the art style is inspired by “classic Naval Oil Paintings” which really shows, and makes the game a treat to look at, and it also has a good soundtrack to go along with it.

Now, the biggest problem with Abandon Ship as of right now is the lack of variety, after playing for about 1-2 hours I feel like I’ve experienced more or less everything there is to experience. It’s also worth noting that upgrading your ship (or to a bigger ship) doesn’t feel very satisfying at all as the enemy ships seems to automatically upgrade along yours.

Luckily though, as the game is a single-player game you can always pick the game up in the future once it’s been worked on a bit more, more or less all the bad aspects of the game (in my opinion) can be fixed and worked on.

Abandon Ship can become a really solid title if the developers listen to the feedback the community is giving, and hopefully will add some more depth to the game as it does feel a bit shallow as I mentioned. If you’re a fan of games like this I can most likely recommend buying it even now, but if you’re more ‘casually’ interested in the game I would recommend keeping an eye on it and pick it up a bit down the road.
