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.

An excellent game with huge potential! The graphics are impressive, and the waves and character movements feel realistic, which really adds to the atmosphere. Beyond that, it's very fun to sail and destroy ships, although it lacks the challenge of storms. I would love to see an option to expand my own fleet and deepen the ship mechanics. Additionally, base raids are missing—right now you see ships passing by your home, but they don't do anything. I would also love to see more underwater content, allowing players to dive, swim, and find new challenges beneath the surface. There are also some bugs that need fixing, such as being unable to board ships after dealing full damage and getting stuck with the building hammer. Other than that—a great game, looking forward to updates!
great game very fun to play solo or with friends. best pirate game i've played
10/10
i wish there was a way to buy navigation maps basically way to fill in parts of map without having to sail there
Pure exploration, base building, sea sailing fun! Really scratches that open world, base building, loot hoarding itch. Just waiting patiently for more/new content!!!
Зашли три мужчика поиграть. 6 часов в меню просидели, но так и не смогли зайти все вместе на один сервер. Танцы с бубном не помогли. Не рекомендую
[h1] ギリギリでおすすめできない、惜しいゲーム [/h1] Valheimから影響を受けているだけあって、ゲーム進行はひとつずつステップを踏んでいく。 一気に強い装備を手に入れたり、便利な施設を利用したりといったことはできない。 ゲーム体験としてはサバイバルクラフト好きならそれなりに楽しめるだろう。 クラフト周りのシステムもValheimではMOD頼りだった部分が標準搭載されるなど便利になっている。 おすすめできない大部分は戦闘に関する面だ。 ジャストガード(パリィ)を軸に立ち回るようになっているのだが、タイミングが掴みづらく敵の攻撃は一発一発がかなり痛いためリスクが高い。本当に簡単に死んでしまう。リスポ地点の設定は簡単だが、バフ飯を食べないと体力がかなり少ないため仕切り直しの手間が結構かかる。あとパリィに成功したときのエフェクトや効果音がしょぼく爽快感がない。SEKIROを見習ってほしい。 では崩した時のリターンはどうかというと、致命の一撃があるわけでもなく、一対多の場面が多いため追撃できないこともザラ。ハイリスクローリターンなのだ。 幸いにもプレイヤー自身が細かく難易度(敵の体力や攻撃力)を変更できるため、ストレスを減らしたいなら無理せず下げたほうが良いと思う。 また、最適化が不十分なのかゲーム中にもっさりし始め、操作の反映に半テンポのラグを感じる事が多い。設定自体はかなり下げており、ゲーム開始直後はスムースなため何がトリガーになっているのかは不明。 雰囲気や題材は良いためこれからの改善に期待したいが、現時点では人柱になっても良い方だけが購入しましょう。
Don't play it, it is addictive and you will loose track of time.
amazing game
Game is really fun, but I feel like its impossible to do some missions by yourself. Also, the visuals seem to blur sometimes. I think that will improve when they finally optimize it. Combat is fun when you actually take the time to learn/understand it. I have a few friends who play it but we never can sync up our schedules and I am kinda hard stuck on 2 missions I can't seem to do alone even though it says I am the right level to do so.
