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.

Das erste Piratenspiel das mir Spass macht. Looten, leveln, bauen, kämpfen - fühlt sich alles an wie aus einem Guß. Habe wochenlang nichts anderes gespielt. Je mehr Leute man dabei hat, desto besser wird es. Seefahrten und Seekämpfe fühlen sich authentisch an und man hat immer was zu tun. Tolle Grafik, toller Stil, läuft butterweich.
Valheim, Grounded(s), DragonWilds. Enshrouded. Palworld? Craftopia wasn't total ♥♥♥♥... Windrose does everything you expect from a survival-craft extremely well. Building causes zero frustration. Resource collection becomes easier and more engaging as you go. Combat is just the right level of tricky. And then... Pirate ships. Sailing into unknown waters with your fancy new ship you just spent the afternoon grinding for is something you can't find a lot of places. Then you notice the enemy ships.. lol it never gets old. Theres plenty of customization to fit your ever-evolving nautical battle style, even in early access. You'll feel like a kid playing AC: Black Flag for the first time. Don't sleep on this one. You can feel the love from the Devs. Here's hoping they drown us in new decorations and building pieces with Ashlands!
einfach nicht versuchen mit servern zu arbeiten wenn man sich nicht mit solchen dingen auskennt
Best "Early Access" game I've played
very fun to play with friends

Wunderbar, erfrischend, Seeschlachten sind der Wahnsinn, machmal erschreckend (gut ich bin schreckhaft ;P)...ich liebe es und hoffe auf weitere spannende Abendteuer :)
.
This game has a lot of potential. It stands out by doing things its own way instead of trying to copy other games. The combat is solid, and the ability system is enjoyable. I also like how every server has a procedurally generated map, making each playthrough feel unique, even if it can be frustrating at times.
