Is The Ship: Remasted worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Multiplayer groups who want matches built around pursuing assigned targets and avoiding hunters
- Players drawn to social deduction and pursuit on a 1920s cruise-ship setting
- Groups that want to host games through dedicated, LAN, or listen servers
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a primarily single-player experience rather than matches centered on other passengers
- Players who prefer a calm, nonviolent pace; the core loop involves hunting and killing another passenger
- Groups larger than 16 players for dedicated or LAN servers, or larger than 8 for listen servers
Our take on The Ship: Remasted
The cruise setting and character roster frame the game, but the stated match loop is focused on assigned hunts: pursue one passenger, avoid another, and use weapons or traps. The listing gives server capacities, yet does not explain how matches are structured beyond that central pursuit mechanic.
What is The Ship: Remasted?
Set aboard luxury cruise ships in the 1920s, this multiplayer game assigns each passenger another player to kill while someone else hunts them.
Players use weapons and traps to pursue their target and stay clear of their own hunter. The game is a remake of The Ship: Murder Party, originally released in 2006. It supports dedicated servers for 16 players, LAN games for 16 players, and listen servers for 8 players. The World Leaders add-on is included, with additional playable figures alongside the original leaders. The setting and assigned-target structure frame the matches as a murderous game arranged by the mysterious Mr X.
