Zen Studios welcomes you aboard a cruise liner called the Hope for one of the most unique gaming experiences on Apple Arcade. A tactical turn-based RPG with rogue-like elements, Dread Nautical combines immersive gameplay with a cartoonish — yet captivatingly eerie — tone. Supernatural forces have overwhelmed the ship with mysterious malevolent monstrosities, and you’ll need to seek out other survivors, track down food and other resources, and manage your safe haven for any hope of escaping this “vacation” alive.

I’m a sucker for strategy turn-based games so this type of title has a pretty high floor. Relationship and inventory management comes into play in a big way as the characters try to outlast on a haunted ship. It’s decently fun and worth a try on Apple Arcade but there’s better srpg’s out there.
Boring
When I got to the grid-based tactics portion of the game-- after the howlingly awful, Made-In-Dreams-style animation of the opening dialogue scene-- well, it's not as bad as I was expecting but also not as deep or interesting as the devs were probably aiming for.
Played 5 of the 40 levels and given infinite time I would've played through the rest, but there are many dozens of better tactics games in this space that do the fighty bits better and feature characters that do not appear to be carved out of wobbly hotdog parts.
