❤ Tight, Skill-Based Tactical Combat

The core of the experience revolves around turn-based combat missions where players must carefully position their crew of steambots and precisely aim their shots to take down enemies. The game's unique "ricochet" mechanic allows players to bounce bullets off walls and environment objects to hit targets in creative ways. Reviewers praise this skill-based aiming system, where the outcome of shots depends on the player's precision rather than RNG, as extremely satisfying and rewarding.

❤ Deep Crew Customization

One of the major new additions is the "job system" for crew members. Each steambot can be assigned a specific job (weapon type) that unlocks a unique set of abilities and perks. Players can further customize their crew by enabling abilities from other jobs that the steambots have leveled up. This deep customization system allows for a wide variety of viable team compositions and synergistic combos, greatly expanding the tactical depth.

❤ Diversified Gameplay Modes

In between missions, players can explore the overworld in their submarine and engage in real-time naval combat challenges. These ship-to-ship battles involve maneuvering, using cannons, torpedoes, and other ship-mounted weapons. While not as central as the tactical missions, reviewers praise the naval combat as a fun change of pace that adds meaningful exploration.

❤ Flexible Difficulty Options

The game offers a range of difficulty options, allowing players to adjust the challenge to their preference. Reviewers note that the default difficulty is on the easier side, but players can ramp it up for a more demanding experience. The ability to freely change difficulty at any time, without penalty, is appreciated.

❤ Satisfying Progression

As players progress, they can unlock new crew members, gear, and ship upgrades. Reviewers highlight the rewarding feeling of gradually building up a powerful and versatile team, experimenting with different loadouts and strategies. The game's substantial length and replayability (over 30 hours) ensures this progression remains engaging throughout.
