About This Demo

Down with the Ship is a strategic auto‑battler about assembling your own hull, stuffing it with powerful hardware, and sending it to war against other players.

Demo Content

• Captains: 3 of 12 unlockable—each with its own layout and abilities.

• Items: 118 to tinker with—pulled from the 200+ in the full game.

• Versus mode: Face player-made ships and push for 10 wins before your lives are spent.

• Endless run: Hit 10 wins? Keep going until the hull gives out.

Build Your Ship

Connect hull pieces to expand your ship and make room for modules. Each round offers a new set of parts: guns, reactors, shields, cursed relics, and more. Buy what fits, lock what you need, and learn when a cheap common beats a flashy rare.

Optimize the Design

Positioning is the core of the game. Move parts around to manage resources, connect item effects, and stack bonuses. Build something reliable, or commit to one risky combo and hope it fires first.

Take It to Battle

Battles play out automatically, but you decide when your ship is ready to fight. Your current build is matched against stored ships from other players. Win, adapt, and keep going until your run breaks apart.

Choose a Captain

Each captain changes how you play, with different hull shapes, passives, and build paths. Lean into their faction’s tools, or mix in parts from other factions to make something less predictable.
