Captain’s Orders
Captain’s Orders is a roguelike pirate game built around ship combat and management, with more than 60 crewmates and cannons. Players manage their crew’s actions and positioning to sink opponents or force them to surrender by filling their fear bar.
Crew members follow the captain’s orders, and those who prove incompetent can end up as piranha food, which is meant to motivate the rest.
Players take down ships, forts and other enemies across the seas. They explore combinations of crew and cannons, craft combos and synergies, and unleash special attacks. The studio describes the combat as simple yet intricate, in a fun, vibrant setting.
