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.

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.
Decent sailing combat, bad crafting system and annoyingly bad land combat. No, it's not a souls combat system just because there's a dodge, and it's not an excuse for it to be this bad when you can just make a spawn point 10 feet away and respawn. There's no reason for it to be as bad as it is. Okay if you like crafting slop, if you don't there's nothing here you're going to enjoy. The sailing is okay, I guess, doesn't feel as good as Skull and Bones or any of the Assassins Creed sailing games. Anything really positive I could say is really negated by how awful the ground combat is. No, I don't want tips or excuses to try and negate the ground combat, this being at very positive rewiews should be embarrising for
in it core it feels valhiemy, not a bad thing though. but it is it's own game. the pirate ship are great, enjoy the ship battles. the crafting and building all good. now i await for the ashlands. to continue my pirate life at sea. definitely would recommened this game to anyone looking for an early access buy.
It is great. Buy it.
Another clone of Ark, don't loose your time if you're tired of this as i am.
Pirate Theme + Valheim + Enshrouded = Windrose Awesome game!
good game
If you are planning to have fun playing with a friend you will literally be wasting your money. The peer-to-peer connection is god awful and does not work 99% of the time. My brother and I bought this game to have a game to have fun playing together and were only able to make the peer-to-peer host work ONE time. The rest of the time when I try to join his host it results in an infinite loading screen or it kicks me back to the main menu. I tried every single solution that I could find online. It was suggested that we both leave finish the starting area to avoid any complications and that did not fix anything. We both completely wasted our money because we do not care to play solo we wanted a co-op game and the peer-to-peer host simply does not work. We both literally wasted our money. What I do find interesting is that they do offer for you to PAY for a dedicated server which is awfully convenient considering that the free peer-to-peer host is completely broken. HMMM. I wonder why? Because it incentivizes throwing in the towel and just paying for a server. He is on a very nice tower gaming PC that has zero issues and I am using a brand new Legion Pro 7 16IAX10H gaming laptop which is insanely nice and has an RTX 5080 GPU. Literally brand new with no issues. We both wasted our money.
Simple and yet so detailed. Gameplay is very fun and ship battles are amazing. Super co-op game, and for those who love gathering ressources and build an insane base, this game's for you.
Highly recommended for single and c0-op play. hours of pilliaging and adventure await
