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.

Déjà très abouti et pas mal de contenu pour un jeu pas encore fini. Un vrai plaisir d'améliorer son camp et son perso, tout ça dans une ambiance pirate plutôt bien réussi. Les interactions avec les autres protagonistes sont anecdotiques par contre et évidemment, j'aimerai débloquer plus de navires et de personnalisation en tout genre. Espérons que le jeu s'étoffe encore.
Sehr liebevoll gemachtes Spiel, dass einem viel Freiheit lässt, wie man es angeht. Wer vor sich hin bauen möchte, kann das ziemlich ungestört. Wer kämpfen möchte, hat dazu jede Menge Gelegenheit. Die Gegner auf See und an Land spawnen schnell und oft. So ist für jeden was dabei.
From the banger of a soundtrack to the current gameplay even though its still in infancy post-alpha.

I loved this from just the demo play. I was pleasantly surprised when they released the early access. If you like building this is the best pirate builder out there. The ship battles and sea shanties with multiple biomes make this a perfect pirate game. If you had played the demo and it worked your pc the game has had a few patches to make it less demanding of your pc and runs much better now. Thank you Kraken for your hard work.
WELCOME TO THE AI REVOLUTION. It's slop with no balance and no soul. Skip.
its good and fun, but the starting experience is pretty bad. your walking around getting 1 shot by boars while learning the game and every death it removes your food buffs that give you better health to fight. enemy can also be incredibly tedious in bigger groups, and that is quite often even on starting island. Building is fun, but give me some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ roof corners at start plssss. going on ships reminds me a bit of black flag and i like it. price for the game is fine. buy on discount or not. games worth it and probably gonne get better in the future.
Perfect combination of gameplay mechanics I love. Exploring, fighting, crafting, building. Let's go.
It's a very diverse game that takes a little bit of other games and rolls it into one. Boars hurt though...
Amo a temática, premissa e por hora joguei a demo inteira do jogo. Comprei para apoiar a produtora e na expectativa que aspectos da demo tivessem sido resolvidos. Nisto me refiro a performance, este jogo me parece mal otimizado, joguei jogos com graficos melhores ou mundos mais complexos que rodavam liso, este é sempre rodando com baixos FPS, prejudicando o combate e a experiencia geral, por hora não posso recomendar ainda.
