Our take on Rigonauts
The defining detail is the connection between ship construction and battle tactics: vessel design establishes the combat approach, while enemy pressure prompts tactical changes.
What is Rigonauts?
Rigonauts combines vessel construction with tactical battles.
Players assemble a ship, send a crew of Hobs into combat, and face strange and dangerous enemies. Ship design and battle planning shape the encounters, while tactical tweaks change the approach as the enemy challenges the current plan. The central gameplay loop is building a vessel, directing its crew in battle, and refining tactics toward victory.
