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.

Ahoi, super Spiel mit der richtigen Mischung aus Fortschritt, Aufbauen, Quests und eine Portion Humor. Technisch sauber gelöst, keine offensichtlichen Bugs, gutes Bausystem, Co-Op erstklassig umgesetzt. Einzig schade, dass ein Teil des Spiels noch fehlt.
Oyunda saatlerin nasıl geçtiğini anlamıyorsunuz. Hayatta kalma elementleri tam kıvamında; ne çok sıkıyor ne de çok kolay. Ama oyunu asıl parlatan şey kesinlikle kara ve deniz bağlantısının kusursuz yapılmış olması. Genelde bu tarz oyunlar bir tarafa ağırlık verir ve diğeri zayıf kalır, fakat Windrose bu dengeyi harika kurmuş. Denizde ayrı bir macera, karada ayrı bir keşif var.
Очень сильно впечатлился механикой строительства, не смотря на то что это в игре не главное, она очень проработана, куча побочных локаций, квестов, миниквестов, механика боевки и строительства все просто на высшем уровне, минусов у игры не обнаружил, на свою цену просто отличная.
Йо‑хо‑хо и бутылка рома! 🏴☠️ Представь: ты в треуголке, с попугаем на плече (ну, или просто с очень уверенным видом), команда рядом хохочет, а впереди — бескрайнее море, полные опасности острова и сундуки с золотом… или с гнилыми сухарями. В пиратской игре всё как в лучших байках: сегодня ты гроза морей, а завтра из‑за одной неловкой ступеньки на трапе летишь за борт прямо в объятия акулы — и тимейтейты потом ещё месяц эту историю пересказывают. 😅
Good game. Ground combat is difficult, a harder but more fun version of Dune Awakening. Can be frustrating at times. Bosses are genuinely challenging (until you try the blunderbus). Base building is excellent. - Amazingly well optimised. Nice balance of freedom and guide rails. Unlocking may be frustrating for some. Sound track is excellent. - It makes the game wonderfully emersive. I have learn't the sea shanties and now I play songs about killing people and protitutes to children aged 5-11 at work. THEY LOVE IT TOO! Sea combat is okay, it could be more involved, but it doesn't effect the game as much as you might think. It is a clever design regardless. Resource gathering has all of the necessary quality of life functions that keep the game fun and flowing. The cooking and eating is pretty annoying at times though. Content is acceptable for the price. I am sure a lot more is coming though, so they game will only increase in value for money. At the time of the review there are some issues around multiplayer lag. It seems to be triggered by the pathing of NPCs and hostiles in combat? I am sure it will be fixed. Get the game if you like pirates I guess?
Игра годная, хочется поскорее попасть в 4 биом)
Jogo bom de mais. As horas passam que a gente nem percebe. xD
Yarrr
Лучшая игра по пиратам за последние несколько лет. Есть перебор с элементами выживача и сложностью -топорностью боев , но это все прощается атмосферой )
I've had the game for a week now and I've already sunk over 70 hours on it. If you like the crafting and building aspect of Ark: Survival Evolved, Quests, Grinding, and Pirates then this is the game for you. Playing with friends is a ton of fun, and even playing solo is a blast. It's a nice steady level-up style and you'll unlock different weapons and gear as you go. I really can't wait to see what the dev's have in store for the following years.
