About this game
Grab your sword, man the helm, ready the crew, and loose all sails! Helm Or High Water is a VR pirate ship combat game with asymmetrical local co-op. Work together with a friend on keyboard and mouse or gamepad to control all aspects of the ship from the helm and sails to the cannons and crew. Pick your voyages carefully and with great cooperation you may have enough gold to upgrade your ship, improve the local island, dress like the pirate lord you are, or just to pile up real big in the middle of town. Asymmetrical Co-op As the Captain (VR) , steer the ship clear of danger, give the order to fire the cannons, use your flintlock pistols to thin out the enemy crew from afar, and your sword to defend yourself from boarders. As the Crew (Keyboard or Gamepad) , adjust the sails, allocate crew members, choose cannonball types, and relay important information about the map, enemies, and ship status to the Captain. Features Feel the Waves: Most VR ship games have flat oceans or fake rocking motion, but not here. Real buoyancy physics simulation makes it feel like you’re actually on a ship. Watch the bow of the ship rise and fall over a big wave or keep your eye on the horizon if you’re feeling sea sick. Mind the Wind: Sailing directly into the wind will make you a sitting duck. Angle your sails and use the wind to your advantage. Station the Crew: Your ship has 3 roles for crew members; Sailor, Gunner, and Deckhand. Allocating crew members is vital to voyage success, as each role affects the ship in different ways. Sailors - Increase anchor, sail, and sail angle adjustment speed Gunners - Required to load, aim, and fire each cannon Deckhands - Repair damage to the hull and sails Choose your Ammo: Switch to Grape Shot for a better chance at hitting enemy crew, load the Chain Shot to do extra damage to the sails, or stick with Round Shot to damage the hull. Beware of Boarders: Keep one hand ready to grab your trusty sword or flintlock, because enemies may be jumping aboard when ships pass close by. Dispatch them quickly so you aren’t distracted from your other important duties! Style to Intimidate: Ditch the sea soaked rags and dress to impress with coats,…
