As Captain Leeway, lead a crew of steambots investigating a water crisis that threatens their kind. Travel across the sea to take on missions and uncover the source of the danger.
In side-scrolling, turn-based missions, position your crew, take cover, and aim shots that can ricochet off walls. Complete mission objectives while adapting to enemies and hazards.
Between missions, pilot a submarine through real-time naval encounters and explore for treasure and points of interest. Recruit crewmates, upgrade the sub and equipment, and develop characters through weapon-linked jobs and skills that can be combined.
