Wraithbound

Made for MiniJam 215: Phantoms; Limitation: Into the deep end

Wraithbound is a haunted-ship turn-based skirmishes and tower defense. Board phantom-infested islands and choose, per enemy: destroy the drowned outright, or bind their souls to your crew. Because what you spare on land becomes what defends you at sea - repair cannons, attune the ward, and station captured phantoms as boarders swarm the bow. Sail deeper into the fog, and every kill-or-capture choice comes back to haunt you one phase later, all the way to a final ship-to-ship reckoning.

Controls:

Mouse/trackpad only

In CLEAR, you get one movement action and one other action per turn for the player, the ship gets one move or artillery fire action per turn as well.

In ANCHOR, set up defenses, free unused phantoms, and upgrade the captain, the ship, or your crew of phantoms.

In DEFENSE, watch as waves of enemies try to board the ship from the bow, and as the captain use any abilities to keep your ship afloat.
