Shipped
Review

Shipped (2019) is a multiplayer boat fighting game where you steer, bash and shoot your way through simple seas of islands. You play by steering your ship and turning to aim cannons. It stands out for the simple approachable fun and range of modes you can choose.

It's a simple local multiplayer naval game for up to 8 players. You can accelerate but there are no brakes. You can collect crates to get cannon balls to shoot. Or just shoot air from your cannons to push enemies or deflect incoming fire. Keep up with the movement of the level or you explode.

There are five different modes:

• Chase: You have to chase and hit the target player.
• Yincana: You have to collect five stars.
• Race: Who can get the furthest up the screen without exploding?
• Cruise: A battle till death.
• Sumo: Bash into the other players to the middle of the screen for the last man standing.

The result is a super simple game that still requires careful tactics to win. Whether that's saving cannons to blow up islands or using the air shot to push around other players.
