| That's Jack Sparrow minus the dreadlocks. |
PR: When Captain Cutter, or well, first mate at the moment, gets told by Black... Err, well, I don't remember what his name was, but basically Blackbeard, to scoop the eye of some glowing statue of a sea goddess, he decides to blindly (heh) trust him, which cost him his eye as the scooped piece of jewelry flies straight to his face and replaces his biological eye.
I don't know exactly how since I skipped a lot around the text, but Blackbeard has betrayed Cutter and now Cutter promised to exert revenge with the aid of his not-so-dead crew and the voice in his head, perk of the cursed stone-eye. Personally, if betraying means "granting immortality and control over mythical sea monsters", please betray me. I'm all in for betrayal!
The game has three stages, one (the least relevant) where you pick your route like in every roguelike ever, especially deckbuilding roguelikes. This isn't very important as most times you pick between a very crappy option and a very good one, like "reward one: Cursed boots, plus one movement minus three max HP, reward two: two more pirates in the boarding phase", the second stage where you exchange cannon fire with the enemies, not my favorite one although the sound effects of cannons is kinda cool, where you measure what's better, if take advantages from the enemies or losing some of your own, and the third and main one which is a turn based, tactical slightly puzzle-like hand-to-hand combat.

Like some of my predecessors have pointed out, what plagues the game is lack of variety, the devs went for a roguelite experience when the actual content they had was for a linear RPG, counting barely five units, out of which only two are good, and enemies that behave very much alike.
Fun, but not exactly groundbreaking: the kind of Jack Sparrow movies meets... Eh, well, I can't find it.
There was a game about bouncing enemies against the walls for extra damage but I don't remember the name.
Future me, if you remember, please edit. Let's just say Jack Sparrow meets Slay the Spire meets Mutant Year Zero, sort of.
(edit three days later: The game you were thinking about is "Knights in Tight Spaces", but it hasn't even come out yet, so it's not an X meets Y)
| This is actually a sequel to a game called "Fights in tight spaces," but I didn't know that at the time. |
