Cooperative multiplayer is an oft overlooked genre in games, but it has been gaining in popularity thanks to its frequent appearances in YouTube Let’s Plays. Trash Sailors, a game by Klucky Machine and published by tinyBuild, is a recent addition to this type of game, and while it may have the fun aspects of the experience down, there are some pretty big issues with actually getting to that point.

There isn’t really a story to Trash Sailors; rather, there is a setup. A Trash Tsunami has flooded the world and so a group of survivors now have to sail like their lives depend on it, which they do. The objective of every level is to simply get from point A to B and the setting changes as the luckless crew make their way further and further on the trash ocean, going through everything from tropical jungles to toxic waste dumps.

While the rigors of actually trying to pilot a vessel aren’t exactly represented in Trash Sailors, the unique mechanics of keeping their little raft afloat will be what keeps players occupied through the levels. As can be expected from a game with such a title, trash is the main focus of the game as its uses are myriad. Not only is it used for repairing the raft, but it can also be fired out of cannons and serves as the raft’s engine’s fuel. Despite being quite treacherous to navigate, the ocean of refuse is also what provides the players the necessary influx of garbage they need to sail onwards. The retrieval and grinding of this resource is what the players are focused on when not responding to some emergency or other, which is an admittedly small portion of the time.

These types of emergencies take many forms over the course of the game and serve as the main challenge put forth to the players. While at first, these impediments are quite simple stationary objects, they eventually morph all the way up to explosives that terrifyingly careen towards the tiny boat. The deck itself is also subject to many hazards, but none more dangerous than those who would like to take the ship for their own, whether for transport or for food. The environment itself also manages to get its own licks in by making things worse with the waves that it sends to whisk crewmembers away, or the night-dwelling spiders that will abduct players if not dealt with.

All of these mechanics add up to a very fun and chaotic time when Trash Sailors can be played with friends. Unfortunately, the game is not designed around one person being able to do all of the jobs to run the boat. To compensate, Trash Sailors provides solo players with a little robot, except all it does is make things more complex. The bot will do one task, which must then be supplemented by the player, such as having to manually steer while also trying to skim for trash if the robot is the steersman.

The idea of a multiplayer game being better in multiplayer wouldn’t be such a big deal if the online multiplayer actually worked properly, but it doesn’t. When trying to play with a four-man crew, the time spent trying to troubleshoot the network issues was either equal to or greater than the time spent playing. In addition to all of this, latency issues, enemies being visible to only select players, and more all occurred and hampered the experience even more.

It’s a regrettable time when a game is simultaneously extremely fun and extremely broken. The potential for greatness is obviously present, but Trash Sailors holds itself back thanks to poor circumstances. With that being said, should Trash Sailors receive the kind of tech support that it needs and finally lives up to its potential, it would be more than a fun time for any group of friends.
