This game made with UDK (Unreal Development Kit) simulates Napoleonic-era naval warfare from a first person perspective. Teams start on two separate ships, fire cannon shot at each other, and then try to board when they have the advantage. THEN they murder each other. The graphics feature a strange, retro-futuristic “woodpunk” art style . To choose a class, jump down the corresponding hole at the beginning of the game. "Every Man" is engineer, "Shall Do" is Captain, and "His Duty" is medic. The first person down the captain hole is the captain for the game, and only he can fly the ship/be invulnerable to shot/gas damage. To board the enemy's ship, fire grapple shot at it from close range. Grapple shot is placed around the main columns of the gun deck. When a grapple is successful, board the enemy ship by entering the corresponding breached wall next to the cannon that fired the grapple. Be sure to bring your guns! In short, shoot at the enemy until you feel they've been adequately diminished by explosions/gas damage, and then board them when they're weak. But the enemy is also trying to do the same to you, so keep your ship in fighting condition by healing hurt teammates and fixing breached walls as well. Regular crew members can be injured and incapacitated by being hit with cannon shot, which creates explosions and dangerous gas leaks in the ship. The captain can only be killed by small arms/melee (which essentially necessitates boarding combat). | ||
