From Steam reviews

Review notes

Rick Henderson is worth a closer look if you want boss rush, pixel art, nautical, and strong atmosphere.

Best for players who want pixel art, nautical, strong atmosphere, and boss rush.

Check more carefully if you dislike unclear onboarding.

boss-rush

Play style

A major part of the game is learning and beating standout fights.

pixel-art

Setting

The visual language is pixel-led or deliberately retro.

nautical

Setting

Water, boats, fishing, or sea travel are important to the feel.

strong-atmosphere

Tone

The mood, place, and presentation carry a lot of the experience.

confusing-onboarding

Friction

The first hours can be unclear without patience or outside help.

Steam review snapshots

Also, there are these special abilities that the character's ship has; each is unique and has its uses.
Nautical
Rick Henderson is paying a big tip of the hat towards old school 16-bit shoot ‘em ups.
Pixel Art
Although there is WASD as a control option, it seems to be unusable confusing due to the weapon systems key binds.
Confusing Onboarding
Even tho this is in EA and still rough around edges here and there, you can already find a lot in this…
Boss Rush

Why it fits

Check it if you want action filtered by roguelike, pixel art, story rich.
