How it feels

A methodical turn-based strategy game with lighthearted, steampunk-flavored tactical combat and exploration on the high seas.

What players say

Players call it a direct upgrade from the first game, keeping the 2D turn-based combat with ricochet aiming and adding a flexible job system. However, some dislike the lack of manual saving, the over-long campaign, and a difficulty spike from relentless enemy reinforcements.
