What is Nautical Survival?
In this run-based auto-shooter, you steer an armed boat across the ocean to survive waves of sea monsters. Weapons fire automatically while you recruit crew, manage cargo, and visit islands with outposts you can upgrade.
For you if...
- +you like fast fights against swarms of enemies
- +you enjoy short runs with different upgrade choices
Not for you if...
- −you want to aim and fire every weapon yourself
- −you prefer forgiving combat over difficult survival runs
- −you want a story-led adventure instead of repeatable runs
