Just a 16 player battle Royale with ships. Has different ships, maps and crew that have different abilities and you just battle to the end. You unlock cards to unlock new crew and ships and upgrade them like with any of the million f2p games but at least this one is Netflix so no iap. I’ll give it another tomorrow but my first two little plays of it were promising for a quick game here and there. Rocksaint Well-Known Member Nov 29, 2013 666 367 63 #4 Rocksaint, Sep 23, 2022 Yup. Battle Royale with ships with predictable progression path and upgrades. Not a lot to say here. Plays it safe and mostly by the book. There's an event mode but didn't really get its purpose apart from gathering resources for upgrades. Ships appear too small during gameplay so lacks immersion. I'm never quite sure where my ship is turning. And most importantly, seems like there's no gating in matchmaking, so opponents take you down with weapons you have no clue about, which is highly frustrating. I'm exhausted with the battle royale genre. So not a game for me. ste86uk Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,774 1,000 113 #5 ste86uk, Sep 23, 2022 @Rocksaint Yeh I don’t love it which is why I just said a quick game here and there too, then it’ll likely just tail off as I get bored of it. Doesn’t seem like something I’d play religiously or for long periods of time. Not knowing what the weapons do for other players hasn’t really bothered me so far, I won a couple of games but I’ve definitely been overpowered a few times by enemies that seem much stronger! As for the ship steering it turns wherever you turn it so I’m not sure what you mean by not sure where it’s going? Although they aren’t sharp controls but that’s to be expected because generally ships turn slow and wide in games I’ve played. Rocksaint Well-Known Member Nov 29, 2013 666 367 63 #6 Rocksaint, Sep 23, 2022 By the controls I meant it feels sometimes the orientation is inverse. Like I am turning right but the ship is turning left. So quick getaways or placement of the ship is hard for me. I guess this is how it’s meant to be. But in the short time I played, I couldn’t get used to it. Anyway, it’s a battle royale, so that itself turned me off. Didn’t bother trying harder to get better at it. ste86uk likes this. ste86uk Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,774 1,000 113 #7 ste86uk, Sep 23, 2022 @Rocksaint ah I understand and yeh if it isn’t your cup or tea I can understand that. Always worth checking stuff out though like you did because you never know when something will surprise you. Can’t say I play any battle Royale type games either. The only game type I do miss at the moment is moba, I loved LoL on iOS but it became too time consuming I felt like I had to play. Rocksaint likes this. Rocksaint Well-Known Member Nov 29, 2013 666 367 63 #8 Rocksaint, Sep 23, 2022 Yup. That’s what I do. Try out as many games as I can, and then decide whether it works for me or not. Always on the lookout for new games. That being said, can’t wait for Desta to release coming Tuesday. ustwo games are my favourite mobile game developers. So it’s a no brainer for me. Monument Valley, Assemble with Care and Alba, all classics. adamphetamine and ste86uk like this. ste86uk Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,774 1,000 113 #9 ste86uk, Sep 23, 2022 @Rocksaint Nice, it’s definitely a good way to do it I’m always downloading piles of them and check them out and try to quickly delete things I know I won’t play or that I didn’t find enjoyable. I love Monument Valley and Assemble with Care really surprised me I went in thinking I wouldn’t like it but I loved it. Although I have to admit I’ve never tried alba and I’m not aware of Desta, I’ll have to search it and maybe try Alba too. Got it downloading now. Rocksaint likes this.

And their games are not just games, they’re an emotional journey. Can’t praise them enough. But that’s a discussion for another thread I’m sure. Don’t wanna go off-topic here. But yeah, anyone who is remotely into mobile gaming, or gaming in general, owe it to themselves to try their games out. ste86uk and squarezero like this. kenken11 Well-Known Member Sep 29, 2012 1,808 5 38 #11 kenken11, Sep 25, 2022 This game is quite bugged. Twice, my game crashed and my game got restarted back at the starting tutorial. Oh gosh! What is happening? Anyone also encountered the same like me? Slate Well-Known Member Mar 26, 2015 145 6 18 Game Taster Wisconsin #12 Slate, Sep 25, 2022 Same just happened to me. I made decent progression yesterday however I logged on just now and lost a couple hours worth of playtime. squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,715 1,240 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #13 squarezero, Sep 25, 2022 Frankly, I found this to be a bit of a mess. The ship combat mechanics are okay, but the “treasure island” action sequences are pretty broken and frustrating. It’s too bad — the concept is neat, but the execution is lacking IMO.
