How it feels

Piloting a flying boat while micromanaging a crew under constant permadeath threat, where every choice carries weight and revenge drives a tense, strategic slog.

What players say

Players compare Black Baron to FTL but with less depth, saying combat quickly becomes repetitive. While some enjoy the quests and art style for a short time, many feel the game is unfinished with minimal updates since release.
