Rogue Waters

More Tepid than Anything

Well... There not all going to be 10s. According to my track record this year, apparently a 10 is about as rare as a unicorn. That&apos;s probably how it should be, though. Even still... what I had hoped for from this title and what I ended up getting were pretty far apart.

Rogue Waters is a tactical roguelite with a piracy theme. Even just writing out that sentence makes me feel like this should be right up my alley. Strategically placing your pirates along the deck, knowing that you can come back with better strategies and tactics to whoop someone&apos;s ass again, and carrying a cutlass and pistol the entire time you do it? Sign me up.

Oof.

You play as Captain Cutter, a former first mate of a captain called Blackbone (hardy-har) who finds himself murdered by that very captain who raised him. It&apos;s all over the possession of a gem that Cutter finds on their latest expedition, and this particular gem holds the soul of an entity that wants to strike out at the sea goddess as well as Blackbone himself. Maybe even Cutter too. She&apos;s a fickle mistress in the midst of a convoluted story that does little to build upon its lore. Either way, the main story is one of revenge as Cutter goes after Blackbone and gets killed/resurrected multiple times in the process.
