User Reviews
Does not work on Linux, but does on windows and is a really fun game.
really fun little game
The combat is adequately tough, and with the right tactics and a little luck I never lost a fight. Of course you will loose sailors from time to time, but that's part of the life of a whaling seaman. The quests are fun and so is the role play, although I will admit that sometimes it feels a little too tough, but that is usually because you are trying to fight whales that are too bad-ass for you still, go find some Narwhales. Of course the best part of the game is the Sea Shanties!!! I want more Sea Shanties. Play them more often.
I like it! There are a lot of mechanics that don't seem fully fleshed out but it was a fun way to spend a weekend. I could see this being a fun board game too.
Finally beat the game and I gotta say it's great. Nice tense combat and strategy paired with a brilliant sound track.
