Movies Games and TechDaniel WaiteMay 20249/10The indie market is saturated. Therefore, it is tough to stand out from the crowd. Luckily, Bootleg Steamer does just that with its fresh gameplay, authentic aesthetics, and addictive nature. What’s more, putting the boot into the government’s ridiculous laws is the cherry on top of a crime-riddled cake. Unsurprisingly, I love this naughty prohibition-breaking title and recommend buying it here! Profit is profit, no matter how many laws you break. Pick a ship, choose your crew, and avoid the coastguard.

God is a GeekMick FraserMay 20247.5/10Best in short doses and played at maximum risk, Bootleg Steamer is at least fairly unique among the indie releases of the last few years.

Thumb CultureApr 20244/5 starsSo all this sounds great right? Well for the most part it is a great game. The difficulty of the game steadily ramps up so as to introduce you to the game elements before unleashing the full operational coastguard on you. Does it keep it’s fun factor the more you play. Actually yes. The game is a souls-like on water. It’s punishing but rewarding. Regardless of how you play the game, there are hours of fun gameplay to be had with Bootleg Steamer.

VGChartzIssa MakiMay 20246/10Its low-stakes, easygoing nature might not be to everyone's taste, but for those who land on the Stardew Valley side of the gaming coin, Bootleg Steamer is a curious, pleasant nightcap to the end of any evening.
