Attention crew! The captain is dead! Our jumpcore is offline. There is a hostile alien ship off our port side. We need to get our jumpcore back online to get out of here. You've trained for this. You know what to do. So go ahead and do it!
The Captain is Deadis a co-op game for 2 to 7 players. All you have to do is bring the ship's engines (also called the "Jump Core") back online and you're a winner. However, with a hostile alien ship trying to destroy you, that's easier said than done.
You have an impressive spaceship full of useful systems to help you fight off the aliens and bring the Jump Core back online. Each system gives you an advantage as long as it stays online. However, the enemy alien ship's attack tends to knock these systems offline over and over again, so you must divide your time between keeping the ship's systems online, fending off the alien threat, and reaching your objective.
Each member of your crew has special skills and abilities. You must work together as a group to maximize the potential of each role. If anyone tries to be a hero, you will all die.
