Abandon Ship

Abandon Ship is a naval game set in a fantasy world of Age of Sail ships, presented in an art style inspired by classic naval oil paintings. You captain a vessel, explore story-filled islands and fight enemy ships, fortifications and sea monsters. Your choices can shape the world, create allies or enemies, and send those characters back to help you or seek vengeance.

Explore the islands

The world contains many unique islands across varied biomes and themed regions. You may face ghost ships in the Haunted Seas, giant arachnids in the Spider Islands, or regions of poisonous gas, icebergs and cannibals. Quests can change the environment or even the entire world, while piracy can make you a hunted Captain.

Tactical naval combat

Battles demand tactics to out-manoeuvre and out-gun your enemies. Tidal waves, lightning strikes, volcanic bombardments and blizzards can alter the conditions and affect your strategy. You can equip different ship classes with dozens of weapons and upgrades, capture enemy ships intact to customise your vessel’s appearance, and develop your crew, who gain experience and traits that can give you an edge.

Survival and loss

Death is permanent, but losing your vessel does not necessarily end the journey. As long as the Captain survives, you can escape in a Lifeboat or become stranded alone in the water, with a chance to survive and fight your way back.

Stories and modes

The game includes several stories and modes:

• Main campaign: overthrow a Cthulhu-esque Cult.
• Freeplay: rebuild the legacy of your forebears.
• Combat campaign: rescue your sister.
• Sword of the Cult: play as one of Father’s children, climb the ranks and seek the ultimate weapon, The Kraken.
