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.

GOOD
A fun romp through high seas and low! It's a solid game as is, with all the good things you'd expect in a survival crafter. Multiple building types and styles, items and progression routes. They've gone for an XP system based on exploration rather than gathering/looting which encourages real sailing around and just 'seeing what's out there' mentality. There are a few rough edges I assume will be planed out over the course of development. It says a lot when I uninstalled the game having gotten to the end of the storyline so far so I'd have some places still to explore when the next part releases. And yet, a few days later I'm reinstalling - and writing this review whilst I wait for it to install, because I miss my ship - the Golden Oriole, and the sound of the waves on an unknown shore. I've never considered a hosted server for a game before - I have now.
Currently a mixed bag of good and bad, but mostly good. It has one of the best structure building systems in any game, and gives you so much freedom to be creative. The melee combat is decent, and the parry feels good. The enemies and their attacks are also well designed, but it's occasionally frustrating when dealing with large groups. Ship combat is fun for a couple of hours but is ultimately shallow (no pun intended), it's also mainly build/gear based, with not much room for skill expression. One thing I hate is how fast travel and checkpoints work. Dying at sea could mean a 3-5 minute run back to collect your lost loot. On land it's not so much a problem, as you can build tents, which act as respawn points. At sea however, you need to sail back to that location, which is fairly tedious. Fast travel is also unnecessarily complicated, by tying it to a structure of which you can only build a limited amount. I'm hoping they rework this system. The game is also in dire need of player cosmetics. Considering how fleshed out the base building is, I hope they add similar level of customisation for the player character. I'm having a great time with the game at the moment, and look forward to the developers cooking up more content.
Отличная игра как для одного так в коопе.
Очень понравилась игра)))
So far It's been a lot of fun to play and I can't wait for the full game to come out.
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! Not only is it horribly balanced and not fun, even on the basic difficulty mode, but the progression is so slow that by the time you've leveled up to level 2 and decided that this game is awful, it will be 5 hours in and won't let you get a refund. I'd rather have thrown the $30 in the ocean than knowing i funded this poorly made piece of ♥♥♥♥. And im still pissed about the lack of refund.
molto bello
