\BOMBASTIC BROADSIDES!\
Cannons are the heart of combat in Maelstrom. Cannonballs are physics controlled, with a significant firing arc and hang time, meaning prediction and good aim are necessary to deal damage effectively. On the receiving end, players with good reactions and anticipation coupled with a nimble ship can dodge incoming fire.
\WARSHIPS WIN WITH WITS\
Enemy ships can be rammed, grappled and boarded!
Maneuver a ship through the swelling sea and prepare for ramming! The faster the ship is moving the more devastating the collision will be on impact.
Boarding locks both ships in place while crews fight it out. If one crew manages to kill all of the opposing crew, it can spell disaster & sink a ship quickly, sending it to the depths!
\ARMOR, AMMO AND POSITIONAL DAMAGE\
Each ship has armor on all four sides. The armor sections serve as additional defense toward damage to that side and must be destroyed before the ship's hull can be damaged. Maneuvering to keep your armor between you and your enemy is vital to staying afloat - and seeking the enemy's damaged sides will make you much more lethal in combat!
Every cannon has access to three kinds of ammunition and can swap during combat to suit the situation. Ammo is unlimited.
- Iron shot blasts chunks out of ship armor and hull.
- Chain shot is used to shred enemy sails and cripple a ship’s speed.
- Grapeshot slaughters enemy crew and makes ships easier to board.
\
LURKING THE DEEP\
Like the ocean they reside in, sea monsters are titanic forces of nature. They stalk unwary captains and can devour a ship whole. Like this Murkwater Thrasher.
\
\Each ship in Maelstrom is a \character\ with a colorful history and unique weaponry as well as strengths and weaknesses such as speed, firepower, crew, and toughness. There are many unique ships available for players to unlock and explore.
\
ASHBORNE, HUMAN FRIGATE\
\
\Ashborne has incredibly punishing broadsides and wields spell-infused incendiary ammo, unique to her, which ignites enemy ships!\\

In a state of flux under new developer but a great, fun, easy to learn game with quick matches. Most players currently playing on the development server which you can choose in settings. Hit up their Discord for the latest.2 found this helpful

This free to play visual novel with adventure and roleplaying game (RPG) elements by NLB project features two short stories in Am I a Monster and Return of Red Riding Hood, New Adventures. In Am I a Monster, it features an unnamed male protagonist who has suddenly turned into a wolf and is hunted by fearful townspeople and police officers. The protagonist (the player) must decide what to kill and to eat as he gradually becomes more attuned as a wolf or retains his human form. In Return of Red Riding Hood, New Adventures, it continues with a parody of the classic children's fairy tale where the mother of the same unnamed girl in NLB project's earlier game Return of Red Riding Hood Enhanced Edition tries to tell a bedtime story of Little Red Riding Hood to her daughter to get her to sleep at night. As a young teenage girl Little Red Riding Hood, she lives with her mother and receives a task by her mother to gather ingredients to make a basket of sorrel, ham or cottage cheese pastries to deliver to her grandmother who is a forester and lives alone in a cottage inside a forest. After making the pastries, the game will transition to the visual novel part of the game where Red Riding H…1 found this helpful
Jogo parece ser divertido mas não encontrei ninguém online, jogo está morto.
match making appears bugged, have to reset the game after every run to do gauntlet. only a portion of the rewards are being saved. i just smash an easy 25k plus 20k from completing missions and i was only able to spend 10 and after waiting awhile and resetting the game i have less than what i did when i closed the game. save profile needs work and guidelines.
Did not like the game but yet this unknown ass company still did an infinitely better job than big boy goobisoft with the trash that is skull and bones. Congrats on that at least.
