It's an [[Alternate Universe]] where much (which is to say, ''[[Up to Eleven|even more]]'') of the world's surface is covered by water. This world is in the throes of an industrial age, [[Steampunk|though one with more advanced tech and flamboyant aesthetics]]. Great sea battles between ironclad warships are the order of the day. There are several principal world powers in play, such as the [[The Republic|Emperreans]], the [[The Empire|Gotheans]] and the Samureans. As the game begins, a war has just concluded between the Emperreans and the Samureans, with the former as the victors and about to throw a celebratory parade.

 

 

In addition to the story-driven campaign, the player can engage in one-shot quick battles or races either alone or [[Co-Op Multiplayer|with a friend in local co-op.]]

* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: A few of the primary weapons delve into this, such as the Cruiser's "Reflector" Weapon, which fires [[Deadly Disc|giant spinning blades]] that [[Pinball Projectile|pinball between enemies.]]

* [[Attack Drone]]: In effect. You can visit "Squadshops" to equip yourself with a squad of four small support vessels, with varying abilities. They can given specific orders, such as attacking or defending a mission-critical objective.

** Siegers: [[Glass Cannon|Deal heavy damage to turrets and large, heavy ships,]] [[Crippling Overspecialization|cannot accurately track smaller ones.]]

** Healers: [[The Medic|Repair any friendly ship in range, including themselves.]] [[Emergency Weapon|Armed with a small, weak gun for defense.]]

* [[Attack Its Weak Point]]: Emperrean Ironwalls and Gothean Battleships both have formidable side armor and attacks, but are vulnerable from the front and rear. More then once, [[Escort Mission|you must escort the former.]]

* [[Booby Trap]]: A few levels have you navigate narrow canals filled with obstacles, such as retractable [[Spikes of Doom]], [[Deadly Disc|shifting walls of razor blades,]] and fields of [[Sea Mine|sea mines.]]

* [[Bottomless Magazines]]: On your primary weapons.

* [[British Accents]]: Every good character except Edison. Whether she's not actually Emperrean or just a [[Fake Brit]] is up to the player.

* [[Character Customization]]: Visiting a "Warshop" allows you to switch ships, and configure weapons and upgrade load-outs. Upgrades include things like increased fire rate or armor, and effects of like upgrades stack.

* [[Collection Sidequest]]: Most levels have some hidden collectibles to find in the form of shiny golden helm wheels.

* [[Limit Break]]: Each controllable ship has a different one, charged up by collecting [[Energy Ball|blue energy orbs]] from destroyed enemies or [[Crate Expectations|crates.]] The Speedboat zaps enemies with a high-damage [[Lightning Gun]], the Cruiser summons [[Macross Missile Massacre|a rocket artillery strike,]] and the Gunship gets [[Death From Above|air support from a gyrocopter.]]

* [[Mad Scientist]]: {{spoiler|Cerbera, a rare female example. She likes to create [[Cyborg]] [[Sea Monster|Sea Monsters.]]}}

* [[Naval Weapons]]: Almost every ship in the game, including yours, can make use of torpedoes, mines and large-bore cannons.

* [[Nice Hat]]: Goodfellow's safari hat, Borrosilov's ushanka.
