About
Windrose is a survival adventure set in an alternative Age of Piracy. It features the classic “build, craft, survive” formula along with intense combat and engaging exploration on land and sea.
Progress through vast procedurally generated biomes filled with hidden mysteries, hand-crafted dungeons and quests. Gather your crew and captain your ship through brutal naval combat with boarding actions and seamless transitions between ship and shore.
Defeat challenging bosses on your swashbuckling adventure driven by real-world characters and supernatural forces alike.
Every legend begins with a reckless crossing.
You are a captain who dares to challenge Blackbeard. What begins as a grounded story of survival and revenge draws you into a growing conflict between empires, pirate clans, and mysterious dark powers looming on the horizon. Windrose is steeped in the allure of the Age of Piracy.
Answer the call of the seas and move seamlessly between ship and shore. Naval combat is shaped by your decisions, whether you’re trading cannon fire at range or closing in for fierce boarding actions. Equip and customize your ship to suit your playstyle, from nimble ketch to versatile brig and monstrous frigate. And when the cannons go silent, claim your spoils and share a sea shanty with your crew as you sail onward.
Establish a foothold in vibrant, diverse biomes, gather resources, and build to your own taste, from simple shelters to elaborate mansions and fully developed forts. Recruit NPCs and grow your settlement to speed up harvesting and production.
This world belongs to the brave and the curious, so venture into the uncharted lands. Over 100 hand-crafted dungeons and points of interest contain endless secrets and treasures, though such rewards rarely come without risk. Trade with different factions to gain the edge you’ll need.
Hack, slash, batter, and shoot your way forward! Master a wide arsenal of melee weapons and firearms. Parry and dodge enemy attacks, chain different strikes, and keep an eye out for new gear, including sabers, rapiers, halberds, greatswords, pistols, muskets, and more.
Shape your combat style through talents and flexible loadouts with unique armor sets. Use food and potions to gain powerful buffs. Test your skills against a wide range of enemies and challenging bosses, defeat them, and claim their treasures.
Windrose is fully playable solo offline or in co-op with friends, supporting up to 8 players, with both self-hosted and dedicated servers available. Procedural generation will make each journey stand out. Please note: due to performance, especially in the late game, we recommend to play in the party up to 4 players for the optimal experience.

clunky mess game is ridiculously hard even with 3 people enemies on your level will 2 shot u everything this game does sea of thieves cant upgrade ur weapons until u get iron which is ridiculously far into the game the boarding of ships is buggy and such a crowded place that u get swarmed and cant move cant share blueprints between friends but everything else is shared like wtf who that was a good idea share all the xp reputation but not blueprints u can buy for ships or building items bad clunky sloppy game extremely disappointed with this early access slop
даже если разработчикам есть ещё над чем поработать в игре, она уже очень интересная и захватывающая. да не без сложностей, если вы казуал могут возникнуть проблемы с прохождением сюжета. даже с моим слабым пк игра играбильна из-за хорошей оптимизации, а так же в игре очень интересные механики строительства и водных боёв. жду с нетерпением нового контенда в игре.
Combat is too difficult when you are just starting out. They say this is "Souls-lite," but there's nothing lite about it. You will die dozens of times facing basic animals. They need to rebalance the game for solo play. Right now it seems the game assumes you'll fight in a team in co-op mode. Soulmask famously had this issue and they had to expose dozens of server settings in order to make the solo experience tolerable. On top of the balance issues, you have to download a mod to pause the game. I wish I could refund this game... unfortunately, I gave it too much playtime.
Prawdziwy survival na pełnym morzu! Świetny Early Access, ale balans wymaga dopracowania. Ta gra to absolutny majstersztyk, który wciąga jak bagno! Kompletnie nie rozumiem fali negatywnych opinii. Czytając zarzuty o „zbyt dużą ilość farmienia i grindu”, mam wrażenie, że niektórzy pomylili gatunki. Przecież to jest survival, a nie MMO! W tym gatunku o to właśnie chodzi – o satysfakcję z ciężko zapracowanego postępu, zbieranie surowców i budowanie swojej potęgi. Na PC gra się świetnie, a system żeglugi robi ogromne wrażenie. Gra zmusza do myślenia – kiedy widzę na horyzoncie trzy wrogie okręty, wiem, że muszę uciekać. Taki realizm i wymagająca walka na lądzie dają niesamowity klimat! Jako że to wczesny dostęp, mam jednak jedną ważną uwagę do twórców dotyczącą rozwoju postaci. Brak klasycznego expa i oparcie wszystkiego na punktach za zadania (gdzie wpada np. aż 4 punkty na raz) sprawia, że postać rozwija się zbyt szybko. Żeby gra była prawdziwym, długoterminowym survivalem, twórcy musieliby zasypać nas setkami zadań, co na dłuższą metę może się nie udać. System nagród zdecydowanie wymaga spowolnienia i lepszego balansu, abyśmy nie przeszli tego tytułu w kilka wieczorów. Mimo to potencjał jest ogromny i to wciąż dla mnie perełka. Zdecydowanie polecam i czekam na poprawki!
make thye combat better and the leveling system is stupid do a crap tone of missions and gain like 2 levels and u get 1 tapped by everything while choosing the lowest level mission u have and still one tapped when u gotta fight like 20 dudes with one of the worst combat systems ive ever seen
不推荐,预设角色,提交就闪退,试了半个小时,硬是进不去游戏,含怒退款
i loved the game but nit the lack of people finishing the game which they have yet to push a story update for months!!!! why tf is this game still being pushed if the developers and pushing for the game to be finished months after release!!!!!!
内容空洞,海战不好玩。游戏采用等级机制,等级低于怪物会减伤,然后你要花大量的时间伐木和采矿,感觉像骗一波就跑路的。
I did nothing. Was able to play one day, got on the following day game would crash during loading screen. like i said changed nothing, nothing about the game, nothing about my computer. And all of the sudden i couldn't play. I have tried everything imaginable. verified game files, run as admin, check for driver updates, windows updates, disabled steam files, deleted all my saves, deleted all my windrose files, lowed all my graphics setting possible, used specific run codes, changed other windrose property files, did other random tips people said that worked or might work off of youtube and steam community. Nothing worked. I have now spent 7.5 hours playing the game, and 4.5 hours trying to fix it, legit not kidding, have restarted the game and my computer so many times i lost count, trying to adjust things and have the game freeze and crash on me. like i said i have deleted all the files and reinstalled windrose fresh still same problem, can play the tutorial and once i hit the loading screen to go into the actual world, it freezes and crashes. And like i said one day it worked one day it didn't and i didnt change anything about my computer or the game before it started crashing. I have had similar problems with games, but never have i ever been unable to fix it. The buddy i play coop with he still can play just fine. so why me, i even have a better gaming pc then his.
Combat in this game is garbage
