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.

Лучшая песочница с корабельными боями из старой доброй блэк флаг. Все отлично, есть свои минусы, но это РД, надеюсь нас ждет огромный контент впереди
best pirate game
Top PiratenSurvival spiel
Es passt einfach alles. Das Bauen ist intuitiv und unglaublich viel ist möglich. Die Seekämpfe sind spannend und teils schwer, aber machbar, genauso wie die Boss-Kämpfe. Das Resourcen-Management ist vielfältig, aber nicht zu komplex, man behält prima den Überblick. Dieses Spiel hat alles, was man von einem Survival und Aufbau-Spiel im Piraten-Milieu erwartet.
the game from what ive seen so far is pretty good, visuals are nice. i enjoy the exploration aspects. the things im struggling with though, is combat. the game is super hard, it could be me and skill issue, but im dying against dodos. and they are the most basic of fauna in the game. i find battles i have to run in, hit if im lucky and then die and repeat, and this is just on the start island. i even lowered difficulty to easy and still died loads. i want to enjoy this title but it feels really unbalanced and punishes you a lot for mistakes. i really want to love this title as i can see its really good. its just im no good, or the game is unbalanced. i dont think the initial enemies should be able to one tap you. and again if youve ventured beyond the start island and die elsewhere if you havent bought a bell to make a fast travel point you have to travel back to repeat the same thing. now on start island i dont mind dying and running back even if thats tedious at best. again this could be me and a lot of you wonder why i struggle. but even youtubers ive watched seem to have same issue. its not fun to have to keep dying to progress anywhere. its actually put me off. and i dont want to make the game so easy its pointless to play. but some balancing is needed, at least in my opinion
Pirate survival is nice idea, but when you try to add elden ring difficulty in it, that is gamebreaker! The difficulty comes from clumsy and boring combat, it's nothing like Elden ring and I like Elden ring lots and even more survival games, but those 2 things just doesn't match. I have been trying to give this game a chance now couple of times, 7 hours and the game is still about fighting several boars and then corpse running a long distance and then that again. Upgrading armors doesn't seem to affect anything at all. Since most likely combat can't be made smooth to this game, this really needs big changes on characters health and "spawn near backpack" option. Every corpserun is boring, so adding that little option will make game more enjoyable. Death needs penalty, but not really when it comes all the time
非常有潜能的游戏，物理效果也做得很好，抢先体验版，有问题很正常，期待更新和开发。真的不错，很有潜能的游戏
