Line 7:
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.
 
The player assumes the role of Emperrean steam-cruiser [[The Captain|Captain]] Benjamin Grey, a [[Gentleman Snarker|snarky]] [[Officer and Aa Gentleman]]. Together with [[Wrench Wench|perky Chief]] [[The Engineer|Engineer]] Polly Edison and assorted crew, Grey uses his small, but fast and heavily-armed warship to put the hurt on the bad guys.
 
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.]]
Line 27:
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: Edison, very briefly.
* [[Deflector Shields]]: The Gothean "Invader" cruiser can put up a shield that [[Energy Absorption|absorbs your attacks to heal itself,]] while the "Guard Invader" has one that [[Attack Reflector|reflects shots back at you.]]
* [[Do Not Run Withwith a Gun]]: You can fire continuously while moving, but doing so drastically slows your ship, so know when to do so and when to nimbly evade incoming fire.
* [[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.
