Question about The Ship (No giveaway, sorry!)

I'm in the same boat as you. It sounds cool and I've been trying to win a copy for ages

You don't want to waste your points. The game is dead and really not that good.

They were handing copies of the ship left and right, but not a lot of people actually played it. They tried to make a sequel, but the kickstarter failed. It's a great multiplayer game, shame no one actually seems to run servers. If you get a chance, definitely play it, I really enjoy it.

Played this game and liked it very much - it can be described as a "Murderfest and paranoia simulator" .

Single Player: lackluster, but I wouldn't call it bad by any means. The controls are Source-ish (hurr), and the guns aren't making the impression that you did any damage with them, sans the melee ones. It has a fun and very short SP campaign, and I suggest playing it through to get into multiplayer.

Multiplayer: is where the game really shines. Too bad it doesn't have a lot of players online, which is the only bad thing about it. Still not as bad as the "sequel", Bloody Good Time, though. Definitely try it, but if you don't play SP first, you'll be kind of lost. Don't finish SP, just play it for a couple of missions.

People were "Anti-The Ship" because it was being given away like crazy to the point of giveaway spams. This was when the devs were just handing the game out for free (there was some kind of a cause behind it but I forget). Add the fact that one legit copy spawns 2 giftable copies in your inventory and you get a massive flood. Unfortunately I already gave away both of my spawns in the forums else I'd offer you one.

The SP is some fun,not that great. Its basically a tutorial for MP,except you learn nothing that really helps you in MP.

Did you play "Bloody Good Time"? It's kinda similiar,although I prefer Bloody Good Time. Both are dead anyways (bots arent fun).

Watch video, dislike

I'm trying to win that game too, 'casue I really like that idea about the gameplay, but lately I just dont even want to spend those 20 points for it .. Just too much. :D

I have a copy of The Ship you can have.
