Is DAVY x JONES worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Action-adventure players who want both first-person island combat and ship battles in the skies
- Roguelite fans who prefer runs shaped by tactical Orders and crew abilities
- Pirate-fiction fans interested in a story about a divided legend and a surreal underworld
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a single, consistent combat format may find the switches between ground fighting and ship command a poor match.
- Those who prefer a straightforward, fixed progression may not enjoy runs that change through roguelite encounters and Orders.
- Players looking for a multiplayer-focused game may not find a fit in the described solo-focused campaign.
Our take on DAVY x JONES
The defining structure is a divided protagonist: Jones fights across the islands while Davy commands a living ship, and progress in one role carries into the other.
What is DAVY x JONES?
DAVY x JONES is an action-adventure set in The Locker, a pirate underworld of islands suspended over a Sea of Clouds.
The player controls Jones, a headless body who fights on the ground with a sword, a gun, and Davy, his talking skull. First-person combat includes close-range attacks and grappling, while exploration takes place across cursed shores and sunken ruins. As Davy, the player captains Abby, a living ship, recruits officers with distinct powers, and takes part in roguelite sky Hunts. Orders shape each run, and battles include enemy vessels and large Behemoths. Ground victories fuel strength in the skies, while sky victories also affect the ground campaign. The story follows the pair as they try to reclaim their legend.
