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.

not perfect, but lots of fun
Dope. Valheim with pirates, not as atmospheric and fun atm, but well worth it.
Like Valheim, but with pirates.
My wife, son, and I just started this game a few days ago and have already spent hours exploring the high seas. Just a fun game, appreciate the ability to adjust the difficulty to where we can make it a fun and enjoyable but not too punishing game. We used the basic coastal dodo as our baseline for damage and it has seemed to scale fairly. Only hope for a good QoL is to add in dyes. I want to be able to dye our clothing and customize our ships a bit more. Also a transmog feature would be amazing, so you can have the look you want but the stats you need with armor sets.
Windrose is an excellent game with some seriously solid base-building elements and a rock-solid battle system. It reminds me a lot of Valheim’s survival crafting mixed with Assassin's Creed Black Flag’s naval combat, but it turns those ideas into one fantastic singleplayer pirate adventure. Graphics are excellent — I ran it in 4K Ultra and wauw, just wauw! The water textures are pure magic. Throw in those sea shanties and you’re instantly in the mood for high-seas mischief. If you’re into beautiful oceans, belting out shanties, and a bit of “Looty me booty” action (take the treasure if in doubt), this game delivers. Solid fun from start to finish. A BIG thumbs up from here — go grab it!
My husband and I have been enjoying this game a lot these last two days. The difference in the characters' clothing depending on gender is nice to me as a designer! The only things my husband and I would like to see are; - I can return to a server hosted by another host. The host should be able to set in the settings who can continue the adventure without their presence. - First person view for characters. - Emotes. - Instruments to play music. And last but not least... the ability to spawn back to the ship if you die in a ship capture AND level upping/gaining XP by killing any kind of enemies.
So much fun and repeatable game play
good
