FAN ART
Story is interesting and fun.
Skills own way to make own build such as making them healers or specialize in aoe attacks and much more.
Ship perks are cool as all have own look and own feel to them and can grant loads of bonuses such as more health and more movement and much more.
Ship cannons are fun as all have own look and own feel to them and all have different uses such as some that are just shooting crew and some are designed for destroying ship perks such as more health or movement and so many different options make own playstyle.
Items that you can use are fun as all have own look and feel and can swapped between crew to enhance them such as given them a free range attack or much more.
Characters that you meet and can recruit to your crew all have own look and feel to them and own personality aswell and can be upgraded to make stronger and give them own builds to suit your playstyle.
Enemies that you meet all have own look and own attacks to learn in order to beat them.
Choices are cool and interesting as offer own rewards if you willing to risk the chances as could cost money or maybe harm you or the crew.
Controls can be fiddly on a controller.
Very challenging and easy to fail even on easy setting.
OVERALL SUMMARY
Overall story is interesting with alot of skills, ship perks, ship cannons, and items are great as all have own look and feel and uses and can make multiple builds to suit your own playstyle and choices are cool as offer own risk and rewards if you want to try it and characters that you can play as all have own look and own uses and own personality to them and enemies all have own look and own attacks to them to learn in order to defeat them. However for £24.99, the controls can be fiddly on a controller and even on easy setting is challenging and easy to fail.
