Steam-powered robot pirates are your crew, and you board enemy spaceships to loot and fight in tactical shootouts. It is turn-based strategy, but you aim each shot yourself, which allows skill shots and ricochets off walls.
Levels are procedurally generated, and you upgrade recruits with new skills and weapons, and even give them stylish headgear. The campaign runs roughly 15 to 20 hours, with New Game+ afterward, and it welcomes newcomers while still offering depth for veterans. The soundtrack is by Steam Powered Giraffe. It is single-player with full controller support, aimed at tactics fans who prefer skill over chance.
