  OK, being a one-man show has it's perks and it's quirks! Perk and quirk 1: This game throws you headfirst into the shoes of Jeb Rockwell, exmilitary, deserter and traitor turned smuggler, bountyhunter and trader on his very own transport airship. Before you even have had time to remove the shoes you were thrown into from your head, you find an enemy navalfleet in a place it shouldn't be! Time suddenly seems to have caught up with Jeb as he now has to struggle to solve this mystery while his own past unravels and comes to haunt him. Perk and quirk 2: You're stuck in what is basically a freighter! You can add armor/hulls but its main function is still the same. A transport, against warships and sky-pirates, bounty hunters and strange unknown automatons. But a lot can be improved, your steamengine is used to power your weapons, sensors and much else. A direct hit on your engine can prove fatal, as can using it too much as it is liable to overheat and blow up! Weapons include cannons, machineguns, flamethrowers, long sniperlike rifles and whatnots, all with their own advantages. Sensors can be focused on accuracy, piercing armor, dodging etc, all can be powered just so far before they fizzle and become useless. Improve your wings to generally improve your odds! Perk and quirk 3: Trade, bountyhunt, run errands or solve mysteries! Quests can see you hauling ancient technology one day and a kids favourite chicken the next! A steady stream of wierd and wonderful requests will keep you busy, at least at first. Later on quests will force you to return to the country you betrayed, sneak into enemy territory and even explore a land filled with the ghosts of the past. Perk and quirk 4: The Wild Wild West, meets steampunk, meets Pirates of the Caribbean and a LOT of airships. Mechanic arms, huge cannons, flying fortresses and cities covered in smoke from coal and smog, all add up to a world that feel very thought through, and feel logical (well, as far as steampunk feels logical). Perk and quirk 5: The one man show (?). As a captain you need stand alone while still be caring about your crewmates. A bit like the developer of the game. It has some spelling errors here and there in dialogues, and a few bugs, but the overall experience is that it is a stable game with a dedicated developer behind it, who is fully into improving it as well as open about suggestions/fixing anything that seem off/buggy. As a whole, if you're into westerns you might want to try it, if you like airships you might to as well, if you want to experience some steampunk look no further and if you have a lively imagination you might become obsessed with Age of Grit.

  This is a very enjoyable game where you can take your time when playing it. There are missions you need to do, you also need to upgrade your ship, when travelling you will need to defend yourself against other ships attacks and you will need to interact with many NPC to make progressions in the story. To enjoy this game, you have to keep in mind that this is not an action game but rather an adventure game with a big focus on the story (many dialogues that make it an immersive game if you read them all). There are a lot of things to do in the game (and a big map) and you can do them without being stressed, so buy this game if you want to be able to relax while playing a game, want to explore a big worldmap and its towns and make good progression.

  I can not believe this game took 10 years to make, if you like to read for 80% of the game and click for the other 20% this is a game for you!. I don't recommend even at $10. I only made it 30 minutes and was completely bored with this game.

  The story, music, and art work was the best part for me. Everything else like the trading and air fights felt secondary, not fully matured or fleshed out. Some UI not so optimal design choices and slow loading times but not a big downer for me; I got used to it. It would need be a lot more open and expansive to be a good game, but the price is right for what it is. It's an OK game, hopefully leading to a better game from this studio in the future. I had some fun playing it.

  2.7/5 Problematic, stupidly-hamstrung adventure, with randomish turn based combat. Cute-ish graphics. Not awesome, but not terrible. But the mechanics of the UI seem designed to annoy and slow down anyone who has ever played a game like this before. The UI is distracting. All of the story text scrolls from the bottom upwards yet your responses pop down from the top (slowly). The story "options" are a series of tedious on-rails responses at the top of the UI, constantly jiggling around. It is very annoying, but the biggest problem is just how designed-to-be slow it is. We wondered if they designed the UI to be slow to make the game seem longer. If you're looking for a steam-punk genre, olde weste game with occasional combat that seems to be tuned so you can't play it very quickly, this is definitely for you. Overall, I have to give it a thumbs up because there are a bunch of amusing elements, but the problems designed into this thing are pretty awful. Nothing about production values or costs. The people who made this game want you to wait for 2 seconds between each of four clicks to visit a vendor and you can't view your inventory or compare your items without exiting the vendor. So slow.

  This was a pleasant surprise...well-built world, a story with both humour and dramatic revelations and an uncomplicated but tense battle system. Sure it has a few flaws, but so do many games at twice or three times the price. Will be looking out for the devs' next game.

  10hrs in one day and still have and just finished the first part. The game keeps you interested for sure in the story line. Does have some open world world to it, rogue like style play,

  TLDR at the bottom. I wanted to like this game, but after completing the game I can honestly say that I would not recommend it to anyone. I love Steampunk and I've played many text based games over the years. (Check out Choice Of games if you enjoy Text Based games) This is a mostly text based game that is supposed to be rich in story and lore. Unfortunately the lore is lackluster and the characters are simple archetypes. The story feels pieced together, full of plot holes and things that don't really make much sense. The dialog seems alright at first, but by the end of them game you'll have seen the empty dialog dozens of times. Not to mention the fact that there appears to be no proofreader for the project.... Or even one person to look over the text and double check it. I would wager there are hundreds of typos in this mostly text based game. The UI is clunky, slow, and unresponsive. It looks really fancy and nice, but overall it just doesn't function very well. The game design as a whole leaves much to be desired. The combat is pretty basic, what you would generally see in this kind of text game. It involves an energy system and either boosting the output of your engine or communications system, or firing weapons at the enemy. I would say there is nothing spectacular about it but it works just fine as a break between long dialog and slowly flying around the map. You'll find that by about half way through the game, most of your time will just be spent flying back and forth across the map very slowly, all the while being accosted by random enemies that are kind of like cockroaches. The side stories are mostly just transporting something from one place to another in an attempt to earn more money to buy better equipment. But once you've found the build you like, you will probably end up with tons of extra cash with nothing to spent it on, thereby making side quests irrelevant. Another reason I wouldn't recommend this game is that there are pretty much no options. You can adjust the music and sound effects but that is all. The UI can often be hard to read and the text is frequently in cursive which may be hard for many people to read. People colour vision deficiency will probably have a hard time reading the text. TLDR: No accessibility options, lackluster writing, clunky UI, and awful game design. I purchased the game for 50% off (~9$ CDN) but probably I wouldn't recommend playing it even if it was free.

  Cons: Extremely slow travel, as well as 2 second delays where they aren't needed. Fonts and conversation text location makes reading a lot harder than it should be. Quite cheesy conversations and interactions at times. Inability to compare equipped items to those in shops. Some bugs with buying/selling. Low ship range turns map into a railroad where you have to stop at nearly every "station". Still a really enjoyable, chilled, story-driven RPG despite the cons. Works smoothly on Linux(Pop). As others have said, it feels like an ode to the Firefly series. 6.5/10 Worth it on sale.

  I LOVED this game. Now don't get me wrong, it isn't for everyone. It's nothing ground-breaking, fairly basic mechanics. More-or-less a fairly flexible point-and-click adventure with modified card-battler combat. No fancy animation or twitch battles here. Fairly linear plot with a pretty good story. However, if you want to play a steampunk flying-ship pilot, do missions, trade and survive, this might be the game for you, too! -Kle.
