Rogue Waters

7分。机制比较简单，护甲很重要；刷钱很单调枯燥；全拉满了也很难打，需要角色等级，又是刷刷刷很久。。。

just don't.

Ekelhafter Rotz, nach der zweiten Mapp unlogische. Sowas von Müll, die 70 Cent waren echt nichts wert. 0 Taktik 0 Spielvergnügen. Nach 10 min als ROTZ identifiziert.

I played their next game Nightmare Frontier before this one. It's essentially the same game, aside from a few minor QoL improvements and some reworked mechanics. The gameplay is fun, and I like the way the story is presented. Unfortunately, the endgame is just boring. After you complete the final mission and defeat the final boss, you can keep replaying that mission and the other non-boss ones over and over again, but it just isn't worth it. The game fails to generate interesting skirmishes or raid maps. You can increase the difficulty for better rewards, which basically just makes the enemies tankier and puts the player into increasingly unfair encounters, but that doesn't make the game any more fun for me. I'm looking forward to the upcoming DLC, and I hope it brings more replayability to the game. Anyway, I do recommend the game. Play through the story -- you'll enjoy it.

This is a good game but it gets stale after a while. About a dozen hours in, I realized that they wouldn't introduce any more mechanics and there would be no more meaningful progression. I still had fun after this point but the last couple missions to complete the story were a slog. That isn't to say this game isn't good. It has polish and I love the style they've injected into the game. The rougelite runs are fun and have some unique events. I like the turn based strategy of the ship battles and the tactical fights. The skills, the items, the progression and stuff is all good. However there isn't enough of it. The specialist classes have some clear winners that are stronger than others simply because they can do multiple damaging, debuffing or movement actions per turn with no downside. (swapper, backstabber, noble, cutthroat, sometimes spearmaiden) This makes the other classes basically dead and not worth using. I think the game would really benefit from more depth. There simply aren't enough items, aren't enough events, aren't enough choices to make during battles. If you compare this to any other leading rougelite, this game has maybe 1/10th of the content. Other rougelites rely on emergent gameplay where different elements combine to make synergies. The framework is in this game to support such a system but it hasn't been actualized. In practice the combat & itemization is so straightforward that once you figure it out you no longer need to think. The choices you make on the map are surface level and have no permanent effects. Each choice the game presents you with has an obvious "good" choice. There are 1 or 2 OP BROKEN items but most of them are incremental increases in power at best. The difference between a common and legendary cannon is sometimes 1 damage per shot, for example. In battle there is no RNG, the fights are deterministic and you can rollback your choices. I actually LIKE being able to rollback my choices on my turn. But since the fights happen in tiny maps, you aren't really doing grand strategy here. It's more like a simple puzzle. Even on the higher difficulties you can resolve most fights in 1-3 turns. There are also a few weird UI bugs. When you upgrade the ship, the upgrades don't apply on screen til you close the menu and reopen. Selecting characters in battle is weird. The selection square when using controller will often disappear. The useless Hull upgrades only recently got removed in a patch, I'm sure in preparation for the new DLC. All that said I still put nearly 40 hours in and I beat the game. I had a good time with it. I just can't help but wonder how good this game would be if the issues were addressed.

类似暗黑地牢2的小队养成+肉鸽爬塔类型的游戏，非常有趣的游戏类型，适合老年手残选手慢慢思考的游戏，尤其适配steamdeck，非常推荐

Juegazo!! Llevo más de 20 horas y me tiene enganchado!! El toque que tiene roguelite te hace seguir avanzando para mejorar tu tripulación y el equipo. La verdad que no me esperaba que me enganchara tanto! Mi enhorabuena a los desarrolladores! Espero que saquen pronto la expansión!
