Preis Update 22.09.24

In Abandon Ship you take command of a ship and her crew, exploring a diverse, procedurally generated world, taking on quests and dealing with random events. Frequently, you will end up engaging other ships in combat, the player having to employ their best tactics in order to out-manoeuvre and out-gun the enemy.

The game focuses on “Age of Sail” ships in a Fantasy setting, framed in an Art Style inspired by classic Naval Oil Paintings.

Life in the world of Abandon Ship can be brutal. Death is permanent. But the game doesn’t end if your vessel is destroyed. You are the Captain, and as long as the Captain is alive, there is always hope. By escaping to a Lifeboat, or even being stranded, alone in the water, there is still a chance to survive and fight your way back to the top.

Combat is tactical and savage. Each battle is hard-fought, always on the edge of defeat. Your only chance of overcoming the odds is to employ every advantage you can and utilise all the tools at your disposal.

Explore a fantasy world that reacts to your actions. Quests may drastically change the environment. Make decisions that create friends or enemies that may later come back to help or hinder you.

Das Spiel ist an sich gut, wird aber viel zu schnell repetitive und langweilig. nach 3-5 Stunden in der Kampagne habt ihr wahrscheinlich jeden interessanten Progress bereits erreicht, wenn's gut lief. Ich habe dann nur weiter gespielt um ein besseres Schiff zu kriegen, in der Hoffnung das würde wieder Pepp rein bringen, das blieb aber aus.

Die Schiffsklassen bieten leider alle (zumindest alle die ich so gesehen habe) die gleichen Varianten an Bewaffnung und es gibt kaum Verbesserungen ab den mittelgroßen Schiffen, die wirklich Impact auf den Spielstil hätten. Nur mehr HP ggf 1 Mann mehr für die Crew. Die Waffenslots bleiben die gleichen. Lediglich beim Standard typ können bei den normalen Kanonen dann statt 3, 4 davon pro reihe sein. Was auch nichts am Spielstil ändert.

In der Kampagne jagt man erst den Kraken und danach hätte auch schluss sein können. Habe bereits das Schlachtschiff (2. beste Schiff) und damit eine maximale Crew + Bewaffnung. Jetzt könnte ich noch bessere Upgrades drauf packen die zum Schutz vor DMG dienen, aber wieso? Das macht das Spiel leider nicht interessanter.

Die anderen Kampagnen wirken leider als ob sie daran etwas ändern würden.

Für 5€ wäre es ok, 20 ist definitiv zu viel für einen Nachmittag Spaß.

This is the pirate game mixed with Lovecraftian horror that I had no idea I needed. There's so much to say, but little ways to put it without spoilers. The story is engaging. The gameplay is very different, if sometimes repetitive, but the different environments change the basic rules of combat often enough that it feels good. The main story is about 30 hours long, but there are side quests & DLC to keep you going longer. There's also a fun little plot twist that is satisfying. It's also great to have supported an early access game that fully delivered on its promise to be a game like FTL, but with pirates. Overall, I'm a big fan of this game.

It's exceedingly repetitive, with none on the challenge or depth that keeps games like FTL interesting, and none of the charm or exploration of Pirates! or Sunless Sea. If you don't enjoy your first couple ship-to-ship fights, you're probably not going to like your 100th one. The boss fight at the 6-8hr mark (where I'm putting it away) is a rare change of pace, but that's when the game opens up to just more ship-to-ship drudgery. I really wish I liked this game more.

I really delighted in this game. I bought it thinking it would be like FTL. Though the game play is similar the story and campaign are far more filled out.

I was very surprised how long the campaign went (41 hours my playthrough, though admittedly I did bandy about quite a bit). It was very inspiring, and so much fun.

I feel that this game is a lot of fun for gamers whom like combo genres. Abandon Ship is the result if Call of Cthulhu and Pirates of Dark Water had a baby. The Pirate Cultists and dark atmosphere are awesome.
The game also has an interesting dynamic mix of gameplay between RTS during ship on ship/monster/? combat and modified P&C area movement for RPG style environment interactions and encounters.

Mildly positive. Great style: premise, story, atmosphere, etc. Unfortunately, it is shallow in strategy and tactics.

There's mechanics that should result in variation and depth at strategic map level and in tactical ship battles, but it seems to not be fully developed or well thought out -- ultimately there's an optimal approach to both, and the game becomes very repetitive and monotonous.

You can still enjoy it for the story and experience if you're not looking for a game with much depth.

Not FTL, but in general it is worth its money. Of the minuses, there are not enough options for everything, and the best build is found quickly. Because of the plot, it doesn't feel like replaying, but on the whole it's worthy.

good pirate 'flavor', but lacks strategy/depth. I used the default weapons, added crew, and upgraded the ship; and that's more then enough to carry you comfortably through the game. There are lots of different weapons, but they don't particularly matter.

After beating the Kraken, the ship was pretty well upgraded. Generally the only reward for confrontations is gold (which is used for upgrading your ship). Since I no longer needed gold, when I wanted to explore other biomes, I would just avoid confrontations. The reason being, unlocking neighboring biomes require you to trigger 6-8 events to go to the next one; so late game, since you don't need anymore rewards from confrontations, you just start trying to skip confrontations.

Sometimes when you find a unique event in a biome, it looks interesting at first, but ends up leading to a few text screens, maybe some 'challenges' to jump through, with no reward at the end or meaningful impact for visiting it.

hours logged is high because left game running paused.

A neat premise for sure; game play mixed with interactive fiction. However, after the tutorial where the Kraken sank my ship, I could never get my crew to figure the cannon or the mortar again. They would just sit there and do nothing while the bar was full. Auto-shoot or not, nothing would happen. I was able to flee a few times, but finally I just gave up.

EDIT: The developer responded later the same day I wrote this and offered to work with me on fixing or otherwise addressing this issue. Much appreciated!

Kind of fun little game marred by a console-like saving system and overly random encounters. After a short while fight becomes a drag, lacking tactical depth and the story, well, there is some weird story but you can mostly click through it. Low replayability.

Having finally just finished this here are my thoughts.
It's a grind. Never even got the Man o' War ship unlocked and I don't want to know how long it would take to even get it. The rewards for fighting other ships are so meager you spend more repairing your ship after battles then what you've won from them.
The boss battles are the same damn boss over and over and over and over and over and over again.
The lack of being able to save the game when you want to unless you have a Captain's log makes this repetitive grindfest even more annoying. Lose a crewmate that you've been leveling from the begining? Hope you saved otherwise you need to drop more money for a decent replacement and start grinding to level them again.
The story had promise and is the only reason that I even bothered to finish this because I wanted to see how it ended and it's left a sour taste in my mouth. You don't get to fight the Lovecraftian Eldritch being like I was hoping, you simply fight another ship and fade to cutscene. The End.
There was a LOT of potential here and I really hope that the Dev(s) can use this as a stepping stone to improve their craft and eventually make something that holds up after the first three to five hours of play.
In short. Grindy. Tedious. Repetitive. Boring. Disappointing.

If you enjoy FTL, then you'll enjoy this. The combat design is very similar, and works great for sailing ship combat. The graphics and style are also very well done. Unlike FTL, this is more of an open-board exploring game though, and it lacks the constant driving pressure that was inherent in each FTL run. Once you get through the first couple stages of the story (fighting the Kraken) you're essentially free to move and explore at your leasure, While this is fun for a time (and challenging early on), it does reach a point where you start easily overpowering all foes. But it's a game worth playing nonetheless.

Abandon Ship is an impressive roguelike game where you take the role of captain of your own ship and sail from map to map encountering different randomized events.

Now i don't write reviews too often, but after reading some of the game's flaws i'd like to comment on those.

First off all: it's 100% a roguelike. There are alot of people commenting on the game being too easy, but it offers 5 difficulty levels and trust me; 5 is increadibly difficult. Every loss of a crewmember brings you on the brink of defeat as you'll need most resources for repairing your ship after a fight and sustain yourself through travelling. The game is meant to be lost and to start over. That being said, if you're not looking for a too difficult playthrough - level 3 is completely fine.

On a second note: people have been commenting that there is not alot of difference between each ship. This is definetely true. However every ship has different load out options making you able to go full frontal melee/entering or completely long ranged ballistic. You can switch between load outs in the journal option while traveling. This actually brings so much variation to the combat and promotes different playstiles against each different enemy.

Overall i'm very impressed by Abandon Ship and if you're a sucker for roguelikes and shipmanagement, go for it!

I played Abandon Ship when it was in early access. The TLDR for this review is that the game was fun, I stole ideas from it for my most recent D&D campaign, and the over world map is beautiful.

I stopped playing in early access because I thought the game was really good and wanted to wait until it was finished. Unfortunately it fell victim to unforgiving god of time and I just haven't bothered to get back into it.

It is a very unique CRPG about escaping from a kraken enthusiast group and becoming a pirate. Cool game is cool. 3 out of 5 stars.

1 star - Big heap of garbage with no redeemable value.
2 star - I found fun in it, but it is objectively flawed.
3 star - Solid experience. Not stellar in any regard, but a safe bet and easy recommendation if it is up your alley.
4 star - Real gem. Great game and you should check it out.
5 star - You haven't played this yet? What is wrong with you? This is so gooooood.

If i could give this a neutral review I would.
In short, it's fun for a bit but gets repetitive around 10 hours in.
It's an FTL clone but runs can last hours and hours and it doesn't feel like there's any interesting, meaningful progression.
The ships are all the same the load-outs and layouts don't really change or even force you to adapt.
The story is fine, enjoyable enough but not interesting enough to snooze through the combat for much longer.
Get it on sale IMO and play it with a podcast/audio-book/album and a drink (or three).

Abandon Ship!! That's what THEY say when I come along!!

This is a great game overall and I do recommend it. The game is basically a ship sim game at its basic. You begin as an unwilling cult member who wakes up from their control and escapes with a few prisoners and a ship. As you run you are relentlessly pursued by the cult. A meter will appear in areas and you have a certain amount of time to clear the events to unlock the gates and proceed to the next area before they find you. If they do, they attack and you must defeat them to continue.

Each zone has different dangers and weather that affects your ship and crew in combat. You must carefully maneuver through the area to keep your ship afloat. Your crew will be put to the test in some areas and some you will dominate. Each area will also have a number of events you can interact with that will give you bonuses or hurt you depending on your choices on how to handle them. Be careful! Some things are better left undisturbed. If you leave an area, then come back, events will set anew and you can do more to attain more supplies to fund your revenge.

You have your choice to play as a helpful crew, helping other ships and towns, or become a pirate raiding towns and trade routes for supplies. Pirating will raise your bounty level though, and ports will fire on your ship if your wanted level gets too high. It's your choice on what to do, Captain..

There are a ton of ships to upgrade to and plenty of different weapons and upgrades to add. When in combat, you control your crew members and must assign them to do things. They can man cannons and other deck weapons, steer the ship, make repairs, all depending on what happens during the combat. Watch those water levels in your hull or you will sink! Plenty of ways to win the day though, from blowing other crew members off the deck or just putting holes in the ship. Just be ready for the boarding parties!!

Overall a great game and a fun time killer. Worth a play if you like any type of ship sim game or pirates themed game. Music and graphics are great and the canvas fog of war is top notch. Looking forward to where this game goes in the future as the DEVs are on top of this game!!

TLDR: becomes repetitive very quickly.

Thumb up in advance. The game has potential to become good FTL. What stops it from becoming one now:
- Becomes repetitive too quick. The battles lack variety and you quickly find the best cannon/team setup.
- The ships are all the same. Both your and enemy's. 2 cannons, 2 special cannons with minor variations. Why bother if default cannon setup works fine at all times.
- You become almost unkillable pretty quickly. Game become boring after that.
- All ships are the same - 10 cannon spots at your disposal. HP is the major difference. I'm pretty sure you could finish the game with starting ship.

Let's hope the devs will pay more attention to variety and difficulty.

I thought I'd give it a wee go, expected to play it for about an hour (or so), FIRST game, I played it for 21.5 hours.
From reading some the reviews I was weary of buying it, I was happy I did (on sale for £9.00 odd's)
I assumed it was gonna be just a silly boring, repetitive lil game, n it is repetitive though keeps changing the further ya go.

So far I haven't been able to get access to the FULL crew, I have two open slots that I can't use (yet)(after almost 22 hours lol)
I really like the Shrapnel Mortor, (keeps the enemy crew busy from shooting back as quickly IF ya target their cannons.

All in all, I think it's a great wee game, ( would be easier with finding more Captains Logs) (Stardate 426.5.89) HA HA

Now i have done very very few reviews and never a negative one. The reason is that i just dont really find many things to complain about normally.

This game will however be the first exception to this because of it's sometimes terrible RNG and as others mentioned very
repetitive combat.

Now i have been playing on normal difficulty and i really enjoy the story, visuals and the combat, even though it is repetitive, it was also fun. Untill one point in the game.

So playing on just normal your game autosaves at certain points. But if your ship sinks the autosave does not work, you have to save with a captains log book. It's a cool idea but the execution of it is pretty bad, since finding these are very random. The diving bell to be able to get said logbooks was one of the first upgrades i got in the game, but because of RNG every single time i used it i never got a single logbook. So the only time i got to save properly was when they did the intro for the logbooks. About 5 hours into the game i had very low ship health after a difficulty fight, and just after that i had finally gained a logbook. So i made my way to the nearest port to finally save properly for the first time in like 4 hours and repair my ship. But when i get to the port before i get to save or repair i get SUPRISE attacked and i have no way of surviving it.

So now what? Well my ship sinks before i am able to escape and it leads me into another RNG situation where i have about 60% chance to survive after my ship was destroyed. I have 1 day and 18 hours of life left in me and 1 day and 18 hours to the closest port. Ofcourse along the way my captain decides to eat poisoned fish, (no option to decide if i want to eat it or not) and he looses 5% of his life and because of that never makes it to the port.

And now i can either restart the game or play through 3-4 hours of albeit fun but very repetative combat just to get to the point i was before. The game is way too repetative combatwise and RNG heavy to actually make it worth playing through those 4 hours again just to get back to the same point were i was. Having to save through logbooks and rely on heavy rng is cool, but it should be an option. Not a forced part of the main game.

So if you want a game with repetative combat where you can loose 4 hours of progress and then have to do that repetative combat for 4 hours again to get back to where you once were because of bad rng. Well this game is for you. Or i dont know maybe you are a very luck person or a sadist, that could also work. If you want to try this game i heavily urge you to buy it on sale.

So not being a genre i normally go for i thought id give this a try and im glad i did.

Just like the kracken it grabs you and pulls you in. I found myself first of all thinking id play normally and be a upstanding citizen until i was hit by taxes, at that point the pirate in me took over and i was pillaging and plundering in no time.

all that aside, i would point out that i got it for a lot less for the asking price. I do think its a good game but i dont think its worth the full store price. wait for it on sale.

It's really good for a while, but pretty quickly seems to drag. The world has alot going on in it, there are nice little stories all over but you and your crew don't have much depth or interest which I think makes the world and the potentially interesting stories fall a bit flat maybe. the combat begins to feel like a chore as you generally get to a set up you like then repeat it every time.
As I played through past the early acchivements basically every one was showing up as a rare acchivement even the one you have to do as part of the linear story which seems to say alot when so few people who have the game have played past the early game.

I do every quest and event, no exceptions. By the time I'm half way through the plot I have a ship the size of Texas and just as many guns. I've also found that despite all the cool strategic options the game gives you, the ultimate way to win always boils down to chemical warfare. Not only am I a pirate wanted dead in 57 US states, I'm also a convicted war criminal.

There's a lot of good game in there, but unfortunately, there's not a lot of variety. It's also extremely repetitive.

The story and the writing were decent enough. The game also looks pretty great and runs on Linux fabulously.

Where you run into problems is the gameplay. You get encounter after encounter after encounter and you pretty much work out it's the same strategy for everything. The upgrades are limited and linear too. You can find a few creative weapons, like spawning spiders or zombies on the enemy ship, but they're so weak, they're not worth using. After getting some upgrades and fairly quickly saving up to get the fanciest ship, you spend 90% of the game with no use for money and ratios.

I honestly think this would be a much better game if 4/5 of combat encounters were just stripped out.

After playing through the entire game, doing all the side quests, exploring all the map, I was kinda dissapointed to be honest.
The combat becomes pretty repetitive after a while, the game isn't really replayable and the story is kinda meh at best.
This game costs twice as much as similar games(like FTL) but doesn't have nearly enough content for it to be so expensive.
Just skip it or buy FTL in my opinion.

This game probably was intended for Phones,
Even though it is cheap, but still very expensive for what you get.
You do the same damn thing in a very slow pace.
All you do is repair where cannons are automated and you dont navigate the ship at all during the battles.
The world map is just draggin your ship to ports and events which are pretty much the same. A list of events would have been more convenient.
This was in my wishlist for a long time.
Man i was wrong, i was bored out of my mind.
It took 2 hours for me to quit.
For the first time, i want my money back.

I wanted to like this game...but I don't. It bears some superficial mechanical resemblance to FTL:Faster Than Light, but with none of the balance, scaling, diversity, depth, or difficulty. It's like they tried to make an FTL pirate game but without understanding the tenets of game design that made FTL so extraordinary.

And for the first couple hours, it's not terrible. But it quickly becomes boring and repetitive.

There's no real strategy here, no hard choices. Just soak up a bunch of money, buy the biggest ship, skipping everything or almost everything in-between because it's a waste of money with zero strategic purpose, buy whatever guns you want, you're going to be drowning in guns and money anyway, never care what guns the enemy has because they're all the same and all pretty much useless, board and kill the enemy every single battle, rinse, repeat, ad nauseum.

The biggest saving grace of this game is you can teleport between ports you've visited, which greatly reduces the amount of time you have to spend slogging through near-identical battles before you realize the game never gets any better.

Is it the worst game I've ever played? No.
Do I regret buying it? Yes.

Very unique game takes a bit to get used to.
Downside is once you work out the mechanics every battle gets easy.
Beautiful story

This game is super boring and shallow. I honestly couldn't even make it through the first two hours without getting too bored to continue. Don't waste your money.

Really fun time eater with similar battle mechanics to FTL, and similar exploration and story mechanics to Sunless Sea. The story is less long winded than Suness Sea, and it's entertaining enough to have kept me reading along so far. Runs on a potato and probably doesn't even warm it up, but still visually striking at times. Buy it on sale, if you liked FTL and Sunless Sea.

Phew. Wow, this was an adventure ^_^ Mighty fine game with a great gameplay loop, atmospheric music, enjoyable combat, and a surprising good story! Definitely enjoyed this a lot and the post-launch free content updates have been incredible. If I had one niggle it would be just how painfully repetitive the game gets towards the end... but then, maybe you're not *supposed* to be a crazy completionist who feels an inescapable urge to visit EVERY SINGLE ICON ON THE MAP?

Heh.

While I like this game, game play is pretty repetitive. Once you have your crew, and weapons of choice you just rinse and repeat your combat strategy, which is pretty annoying. As far as I can tell the main way you get money is by fighting, which means you do a lot of repetitive combat. It would be nice if there were other ways to get cash. Trading seems like the obvious next step, though there are certainly other mini games that could fit the genre.

Ultimately I'm going to thumbs up this game as indie games deserve the respect, but if I had a sideways thumb this game would definitely get it.

It's FTL in the Age of Sail -- except it's not.

There's just something missing from the game. A sense of urgency, maybe? Where FTL has limited jumps to get to your goal and improve your ship, this game lets you grind to your heart's content. Once you have your optimal gear setup (crew killer works far too well - 4x Lightning Gun + 2x Fire Clusterbomb mortar), you can shred any ship, any fort while taking very little damage. It gets a little absurd.

The boss fights with the krakens are...uninspiring. They're not difficult skill-wise, but they have far too much health. After the first few hours, it really boils down to find ship, kill ship, go to some location far away on the map, return to another point on the map. I found myself nodding off to sleep because of how monotonous it all became.

The AI is also another gripe for me. Send a sailor to extinguish a fire, he'll extinguish that fire. And none of the others in the same section, because apparently the little dinguses can't do anything without orders. This results in a hell of a lot of micromanagement required, i.e. hitting pause button every few seconds, just to issue orders so that the AI doesn't do something really dumb. It breaks the flow of the game, and feels more like I'm watching a slideshow. It simply doesn't feel as smooth as FTL.

That said, I'll give the game props for the environmental hazards. Those are much more varied than FTL's ones, and have a much greater impact on how things play out.

Hi , wishing that u are all having a great day* finally decided to post and recomend this game publicly even thou im not used to it as i had it on the bucket list and belive that its deserves it ,normally i simply recomend titles to `friends´ of steam , not having much luck with that ofc on most cases but i like to point out really cool/great/_? indie games for the most part that arent well known enought and widespread in my personal opinion as in this case , bought it close before the launch of it not soo long ago (times is relative right?right^^)affter i kept an eye on it for a couple of years as i normally happend to end up doing with some if not many of the titles i buy (sure im not the only one )expecting to hit in a good one ,luckily been doing so for the most part including in this case wich i enjoyed alot even thou im not really playing it these days as im into other ones theat recently got me in , so far i wont say any new things that u wont be able to find in other comments but id like to remark that the devs are very responsive and lisent to feedback , suggestions, bugs reported and that luckily are as u coud saw it comming from years ago still looking to improve the game and add more content as they recently done in a major update i belive , didnt tried yet , played it for about 48 /60 houres i belive before the launch of it doing single runs without exploring alot in the modes that were available back then , i belive 2 or 3 got released new affter it?even more now? so yeah in terms of timeplay you can actually get alot without even looking into replayability wich has ofc (as a late disclaimer i want to escuse myself for mispels , poor grammar and phrasing that i will most likely do)as appart from many other stuff.You can for example use a good variety of weapon setups for your ship , some woud say the game itself its or and gets pretty repetitive and they are not wrong affter all its all about tastes and hey if u really look closely enought at any game or to say every game emm.. umm arent you really repeating stuff..like mechanics and even controls ... right .To the point (walltext*?whos said walltext? oh took you like alot to get here? oh well so do you really think it took you more to you than to me typing it ? maybe you shoud get back on flirting in sotial networks then or pick a book for once ,half joke i belive if you are still here is cause you are looking for proper info/feedback about the game ,escuse me as i belive im getting abitt redundant or better say slow this time ) the game itself its great im really looking into gettin into it again once i find some gameplay time for it as i said im focused alot in others that i woud like to point out as well but isnt really a proper thing to do, is the game underated? yes indeed , you shoud get it ? well thats up to you , i personally belive that its worth a trie for its price more so if u already tried other titles similar ones where they took inspiration in part from i belive as FTL:faster than light or Sunless sea ,i dont belive that pointing out these 2 woud be consider as giving publicity about em or at least not an improper on as are older and for the most part i think that they even stated and cited em themselfs at some point . i do have a grade for some games that i personally like the most or and feel that they belong into wich i call hidden indie jewels in steam ,(some more hidden and less known than others ofc)does this one fall into? well.. i wont fully say so but close and or maybe im abitt biass as i didnt get to play it enought yet and from quite of a time already , il state some personal opinion down if you want to finish it .Thanks for reading if you got here , hope it was usefull or enjoyable in a way to have as well another point of view if you liked please give it a thunbs up , suscribe and dont forget to hit the bell thingy see ya all on the next one ...... wait .... maybe ... yeah .. too much of watching that crap i belive (dont get me wrong cool contents but awfull platform that are demonitazing ?* is that the word ? close enought , everybody out there that works at that for no good reason )What woud you do with the drunken sailor , what woud you do with the drunken sailor eeeeaaarly in the moooorning !

It has a good grounded base , lore , mechanics etc, been well developed from a team of not many ppl i belive who got inspiration ,lets put it that way, from games like FTL:faster than light , Sunless sea and maybe some others(and its very own flair and new stuff but i think thats implicit) , these cited beeing from a very specific genere that normally has very certain niche of audience for good and bad.Many games tried to be inspired or directly copy FTL:faster than light in one way or another but i think that they failed at it in different lvls but i belive that this one did an ok/good if not more job using some of its mechanics etc, the feeling that gives the mix of FTL and Sunless sea its totally fine ,yes it is alot lighter in some ways comparing it to Sunless sea and thats cool as well ,affter all who that did pay play Sunless sea(i woud use SS but doesnt sounds ok..) never thought if only i coud battle like in FTL.. ¿right?.I wont dive into the argument , gameplay or very specific details about it , will take too long and u can very much find gameplays and information about it .I belive that at the end this game so far gone to the right direction and its at the right stage for the most for beeing launched as it was litle time ago , in what respects to taking inspiration and or mechanics from other games i see it tottally fine and normal affter all pretty much any idea or mechanic its more than done already for the most part , is there space*xd for more content , improvement or even new mechanics?sure and i woud love to see it and hopefully will but affter all inst that the case for what i belive emm.. every single game out there?

DAMN does this game annoys the living crap out of me. It has some fun elements, but the annoying crap about it just angers and disgusts me much more that I can handle and I can't play it anymore unless fixed.
--
Basically everything in the game prevents you from succeeding in this game. I'd say 65% of the time the 'random' event missions scattered on the maps screw you over more often then benefit. The MOST annoying by far is the auto crew member wounding event that seems to happen SO much it is uncanny. Costing you a massive 125 gold to both revive him and then remove the 'of course' auto-negative trait you auto gain when you die (another very very annoying feature). You make such peanuts (22-25 gold) per enemy ship you sink. Capturing ships is much, much harder and yet you only a little bit more in loot (35 gold, 20 food). You should be able to take weapons off of the captured ships you get (using your hold spaces to store weps), then selling or using them in ports.
--
Getting rid of pirates within a area is over-all meaningless. You gain nothing except what you normally gain from defeating ships, except it's much harder. So why bother doing it, right?
--
Ship matching disgusts me also. It isn't random, like it should be. ALL ships you fight are all close to your ship class (90% of the time). So everyone has the same ship class as me? Come-On!
Trying to run in the mission options is worthless too - I've never been able to run away (they always catch me and get a free first shot on me in battle). Once your in battle, yes you can run, but again it seems uncanny how it seems to be much easier for the computer to run away in battle than you can. Hmmm curious...
--
Paying the 25 food to go to a different area is annoying too. FIRST time, sure no problem. But EVERY TIME? Come on.. Just another example of how the game just bleeds you dry stopping you any and every way it can so you don't succeed. It should be FREE to travel to already explored zones, and 25 food to fast travel there. It feels like to me, like a dungeon master in a RPG working against the players. This is what Abandon Ship feels like to me.
--
You get 125 or 150 gold (I forget) to explore a area. By far the best paying thing in the game bar-none. TO EXPLORE! Not fighting ships, not conquer pirates, not defeat the krackon, not freeing a town from the cult. EXPLORING A MAP AREA!!!!!! Really??? come-on
--
I've destroyed at LEAST 35 ships, captured 5 and I am barely anywhere in the game. The games all luck based. I hate to rely on luck - the game is all based on getting good mission events. Because most times you spend more to fix up your ship than you actually gain from defeating a ship.
---
The save system, again all aimed at screwing you over so you can't win or makes it astronomically difficult to win. Same difference to me. The captain logs are a joke and not even a funny one. Not only they ultra rare, every time you get one plan on having a crew member get hurt. So surprise-surprise again sure you get a captain's log save file, but it'll cost you 125 gold AND of course you'll need to head to port. I don't know if a surgeon on your ship revives crew, never got one.
---
The games 'wanted' system is worthless puke too. It is totally NOT worth trying to be a pirate yourself. It sucks royal donkey balls beyond sucking. Again another system put in by Fireblade to screw you over and stop you from succeeding.
---
The UI for the game is goofy. You can't zoom in or rotate, tit anything for the camera. Whoever thought of this idea for this game should be fired, because it's totally stupid. You should have a nice free-flowing camera a player can move around anyway they want. Also a MINI-MAP be nice too. It's so asinine how to see the large area map so you can figure out where to go. Or if no mini-map, then having the ability to move your ship in the big over-head map then.
---
The rating for this game I say is around 60-65%. It's playable if you can handle ALL the annoying issues and the fact that the game itself works against you to stop you from being successful.

A lovely sea exploration game set in a mixture of fantasy and age-of-sail world. The main distinguishing feature is the excellent visual style, inspired by the classic naval oil paintings. The game mechanics are relatively simple, but still fun, and the stories (main campaign, exploration mode, and couple of short stories) are interesting enough. One drawback is that the novelty might wear off towards the end-game, once you get used to combat and maximize your ship and crew.

An OK game, but not 1 I'd suggest. It's simple in play style but it's ultimately designed for your failure. Big part saves are greatly limited, but on where and how often you're allowed to save or use those saves. Played once, got pretty far, but eventually lost my ship and having to start from scratch it just wasn't worth it. So I exited and will be uninstalling the game.
