About
Set sail as Captain Cutter, a pirate caught in a deadly struggle for power and vengeance. Navigate dangerous waters, unleash mythical sea creatures, and outwit enemies as you chase legendary treasure and confront dark secrets.
Embark on a journey of loyalty, betrayal, and revenge, as you unravel the mysteries of the Sea Shepherd prophecy and face the immortal Captain Blackbone.
Use your Pirate Cave (HUB) to equip ship upgrades & crew members before each run.
Each run generates new encounters, requiring careful navigation as you work your way toward Captain Blackbone.
Enjoy a rich, story-driven adventure across 3 acts, with endless replayability.
Recruit and grow your pirate crew, discovering their hidden potential as you lead them into battle. It's your responsibility to mold them into the legendary pirates they were destined to be.
Recruit from 6 unique classes, each with distinct abilities and playstyles for your ship’s crew.
After each run, upgrade your crew’s skills to increase their effectiveness.
Damage persists across runs, requiring you to swap out crew members to allow them time to heal.
Face new challenges as the game world shifts procedurally with each run, offering fresh secrets, combat scenarios, and treasures to discover.
Encounters feature diverse pirate factions and enemy types—choose your battles wisely.
Your crew will engage enemies on ships and land alike.
Visit shops to heal, upgrade crew, buy cannons, and repair your ship.
You can extort shops for loot, but it’ll lead to a fight.
Customize your naval encounters with cannons and ship artillery. Unleash powerful shots during naval combat to destroy enemy ship modules and gain the upper hand in boarding fights.
Encounters begin with Sea Battles where you can use cannons to target key areas of enemy ships.
Both your ship and the enemy's have distinct buffs that can be destroyed.
Crew members can be targeted and killed during battle, so defend your ship and crew before boarding.
Experience a fresh take on turn-based tactical combat that replicates the visceral intensity of cloak-and-dagger duels. Use the environment to gain the upper hand like never before.
The boarding phase involves hand-to-hand combat where your crew faces off against enemies.
Use your crew's unique abilities to maneuver and pin enemies against obstacles for fatal damage.
Leverage the environment by pushing enemies into spikes, grabbing one-time weapons, or swinging into position with ropes.
Legendary sea creatures, once thought to be myths, roam the oceans of Rogue Waters. Free them from captivity and gain their trust to summon them in battle.
Summon 3 sea monsters to assist in the boarding phase:
The Kraken crushes nearby enemies.
The Mermaid disrupts and pushes enemies in any direction.
The Giant Snail drops a deadly spiked obstacle on the deck.
Each run resets your equipment and items, but unlocks permanent upgrades for your crew, ship, and Captain Cutter, allowing you to grow stronger with every battle.
Items and upgrades reset between each run:
Personal items (character equipment): additional weapons, attack modifiers, and side upgrades for abilities.
Shipboard weapons (cannons and similar items): each new run begins with a usable, basic starter set.
Ship modules reset as well.
Each run permanently increases your progress:
Unlock skill trees for crew members and Captain Cutter.
Acquire ship and port facility upgrades in the Pirate Cave (HUB).

类似暗黑地牢2的小队养成+肉鸽爬塔类型的游戏,非常有趣的游戏类型,适合老年手残选手慢慢思考的游戏,尤其适配steamdeck,非常推荐
Juegazo!! Llevo más de 20 horas y me tiene enganchado!! El toque que tiene roguelite te hace seguir avanzando para mejorar tu tripulación y el equipo. La verdad que no me esperaba que me enganchara tanto! Mi enhorabuena a los desarrolladores! Espero que saquen pronto la expansión!
There were fun elements to the game, but they repeat....a lot. There is a ton of grinding to be done and even after that the sheer number of missions you need to do leaves your crew pretty much dead by the end when you meet the boss/tough battles. You can have full hp and get knocked off a boat easy, but I shoot you and if you have armor it doesn't do anything at all or misses. Some mechanics just don't make sense. The story is overplayed and underwhelming. It was entertaining for a bit, but near the end I was just not having any fun.
На удивление скучный роглайт, хватило на 1 час однообразной игры.
Great little rogue-like combat loop that switches between unit combat and ship combat to keep things from going stale. Unfortunately it's plagued by blatant UI bugs and upgrade trees that doesn't even work!
Отличная по-шагушка, со своими правилами пошагового боя и нанесения урона. Хорошо продуманное и ограниченное (чтобы не стать победителем всех еще в середине игры) развитие корабля/экипажа. Побочные квесты позволяют прокачиваться, потом продолжать Историю. Весьма доволен, спасибо создателям!
