Curse of the Sea Rats delivers on its captivating atmosphere and art style, but the gameplay struggles to stand out in a crowded genre. It has some odd design choices, clunkiness, and less-than-stellar writing. While there is still fun to be found, it may not leave a lasting impression.

If any part of 9 Years of Shadows looks appealing to you, you owe it to yourself to pick it up. This is an amazing game made by a heretofore unknown team, and I can only hope that Halberd Studios has plans for a follow-up. They deserve to be showered in praise, and this game deserves your time and attention. ~ Final Score: 9/10 ~ Game provided by Freedom Games for purposes of review.
