Windrose

W game, needs better NPC path tracing

AHOY! I beg of thee PLEASE give me a Triple Deck Cannon ship so i can get that EPIC VOLLEY of cannon smoke and destruction! Please! Please! fullfill a pirates dream!

Sing sea shanties, progress through the survival mechanics, ship combat is so much fun and nothing feels too expensive or like you ever need to grind for short periods to get the required resources. Exploration feels new and fun, and the movement from run and kite combat to overwhelming cannon fire is extremely satisfying.

Windrose is already a solid survival crafting game, even in early access. Add in the fantastic setting and everything to do with the ships, sailing, and the naval combat and it really stands out among other titles in the genre. The game looks fantastic too. That being said, as mentioned, the game is still Early Access at this time and there are some things that need some attention. Combat balancing is needed, and including some more variety in viable builds, playstyles and gear would be nice. The loot pickup radius is too small and often buggy. The building system is generally fantastic but there are occasionally some glitches with placement. Easier to understand cannon/ship "hit boxes" would be great. Many times I watch shots go right through enemy ships or sails even when they're pinned against an island and not moving. Fix the memory leak! QoL stuff: More stuff to do on the ships, including sleeping, just more stuff to do at sea in general. Climbing to the Crow's Nest please! Gaining XP through other activities like crafting or exploring could be a nice addition for those people who prefer the homesteading sort of playstyle in these types of games when playing with friends.

This game needs to be rated aRrrrrrrr because of how addicting and fun it is. Been playing solo and it has not disappointed so far. That said, you can play this game with up to 10 friends! I imagine playing this with friends would be even more fun, but none of my friends have this game yet. Maybe they will have it eventually, who knows.. Anyway, at first I didn't realize this game was made by the Palworld team, I like Palworld, but I like Pirates more, so this game is perfect for me. Combat could be better, but its not terrible. Be prepared to get killed a lot though. Being able to respawn and exact revenge is nice, and the crafting system is smooth. Sailing feels good too, controls aren't very complex. Game leaves lots for you to figure out on your own. I like that its procedurally generated. Feels like a nice lil cozy Survival/Plundering/Exploration game. Some ppl compare this game to Valheim, but I feel like this game is a hell of a lot better.

fun

One of the best survival crafting games I've ever played but enemy damage is way too high and game settings are bugged, changing difficulty doesn't do anything

leave her johnny/10

My favorite type of game is survival, and this has all the fun parts while brilliantly removing the annoying and/or tedious parts of survival games.

My brother recommended this one to me and I was like " ehh, ok I'll try it." 150+hours in and I'm HOOKed!! (see what I did there?) Its challenging when you start but once you start upgrading your weapons, armor and ship it gets really fun smashing on low level enemies that once ruined your day!!
