Hello, captains!
Shiver me timbers - Cursed Crew releases in Early Access in just 8 days!
We’re counting down the days with dev blogs covering the game’s features and sharing stories from development. Today, we’re looking at the different crew members you’ll encounter at sea, including humans, ghosts, ratmen, and skeletons. Each crew member type has their own characteristics that sets them apart from the other types.
You can encounter these crew members through story events. Perhaps you agree to transport strange-looking passengers, or your ship becomes haunted, or you spot an enemy ship full of horrible creatures in the distance.
Humans
Humans are the best at ship operations with their excellent hand manipulation. (Those fingers come in handy, unless the scurvy got ‘em…) Humans operate the cannons faster so you’ll want them on the deck, and they’re quicker to fire and reload ranged weapons. Overall, they’re your go-to well-rounded sailor to have aboard!
Ghosts
These poor souls are caught between life and death. They shift between their physical and ghost forms, materializing when it’s the right time to attack. They’re quite slippery and their health regenerates over time, making them dangerous when forgotten about.
Ratmen
These subspecies of humans are cute in their own horrifying way. They live in large packs and they’re wickedly fast, but quite feeble in battle. They tend to win by overwhelming their enemies with sheer numbers.
Skeletons
These gruesome beings are afflicted with an undying curse that continues to resurrect them over and over again. They sail the seas in agony, looking for their next victims. They have no mercy and cannot be reasoned with, so blunt damage and explosions will quickly dispatch them. (Until they rise again!)
There's more to come as we move steadily towards Early Access! See you in the next blog!
