The Captain is Dead should really come with red shirts in the box, because – like Star Trek‘s infamously ill-fated unnamed crew members – you’re going to die a lot in this game. And you’re going to have a hell of a time doing so.
The framing of the frantic co-op title is the last 10 minutes of every sci-fi serial since Kirk and Spock first boldly went: your leader deceased, your spaceship staff (positions range from janitor and hologram to admiral and ensign, Wesley Crusher knitwear not included) are desperately trying to repair the ship’s jump core before increasingly aggressive aliens reduce your shield to zero and turn you into food for space worms.
