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.

Pretty cool game, managed to complete all current content, here are some notes down below For an Early access, some bugs are expected and more content to come in the future: 1. When entering Torrtuga, game sometimes freezes and crashes 2. Everywhere is buildable, so you can skip general puzzle mechanics or fights to open chests 3. Sometimes certain mobs spawn higher level than intended, based on the crossover between biomes Do have a bit more island allocations outside the center of the map. 1. North-west and south east parts of the map are empty (ocean only) 2. Many islands don't have anything on them Naval battles can use some sort or tuning 1. No way to dodge and outmaneuver enemy ship attacks 2. Onboarding equipment does not have rare or epic categories 3. Occasionally, abnormal amount of ships spawn as a cluster (7+) Overall 10/10 recommend to try, expect big updates
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.
Kdo má rád AC Black Flag, zde rozhodně nebude strádat. Výborné námořní bitvy, skvělé ovládání a krásné graficky. Rozmanité úkoly, crafting, úprava lodí i vybavení postavy. Obrovská výhoda že nejde jen o boj na moři ale průzkum ostrovů, vraků lodí a dalších věcí. + grafika + úkoly + crafting - zatím jsem nenašel
Great game to play with friends good base build as well
Best "Early Access" game I've played
Прекрасная игра, разработчикам респект и спасибо! Хотелось бы еще много чего, но как будто это важнее: 1. Случайные события в море, типа кракена или налет чаек вампиров и все такое. 2. Подводный гемплей. 3. Что-то нужно делать с абордажем, в ограниченном пространстве анимации накладываются друг на друга, вообщем там что-то нужно делать. Замечательная игра подарившая кучу эмоций,
Meh. A little too gamey. Fighting enemies is just run away, hit them, run away. You can insta summon your ship anytime, anywhere... no challenge there. Can't hijack enemy ships. Boarding action requires you to be in the perfect spot. Just kinda... eh.
good game
Solid game for those who are familiar with the survival crafter loop, advance to a new biome and get access to new base/character upgrades. a bit clunky around the edges but overall a good experience and I had a great time playing with my small friend group. lower combat difficulty off the rip if it is too obnoxious. we played with the combat all the way lowered and even then it was still challenging but fun. Too high default difficulty could result in many of the unhappy reviews. just play on easy and enjoy your time actually interfacing with the games mechanics. alot of fun
