The Captain is Dead

I really loved the board game and had a great time. I bought this, because the devs took the game off of tabletop simulator, so I thought this would be a way to play with friends all over the country. Unfortunately they didn't put effort in to actually make the game cooperative, even when they enabled remote play. The game is always single player and you can just have a second person see the game and tell you what they want to do on their turn. That's awful and really deceptive. On top of all of that, the developers didn't even actually build a proper tutorial. They filled it with memes for the laughs, but don't actually explain what any of the stuff does, so it's assuming that you've already played the board game. Really disappointed in this, and sorry I bought it.

They should have spent effort adding online multiplayer rather than putting in cute voices. Without the ability to play this with your friends on a Friday night, it's an easy pass. Just fire up Tabletop Simulator and play it there...it's easier to understand what's going on and your friends can play with you. This is a great game - real shame about this adaptation.

A solid game that matches the board game well. It's a difficult game to master as you are juggling many emergencies that need your limited resources. Well worth it if you played the board game and liked it or didn't want to buy the board game and still play it. I'm sad it doesn't come with multiplayer options as this game would be more fun with people to yell at and blame. Also there are some UI issues that make navigation or finding information a little hard. Also the internal links to things like steam leaderboards don't seem to work anymore. Buy this on 50% sale if you like board games, it's a fun one.

Really enjoy the Captain is Dead. Played it during the pandemic and it helped me stay sane.

Excellent game!

love the tabletop game but this is a poor adaption to a video game.
