How it feels

A chaotic multiplayer roguelike where you sail the seas, recruit sentient animals, and battle rival captains in tactical skirmishes.

What players say

Players call it a surprisingly addictive autobattler with charming marine life art and a free-to-play model where only cosmetics cost money. The tutorial is text-heavy and many skip it, learning by trial instead. Fans of Super Auto Pets and The Bazaar find it a welcome alternative.
