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.

Troppo farming e poca avventura. E' il primo gioco del genere "survival" che ho voluto provare perchè l'ambientazione è bella. Tuttavia è ripetitiva come lo è passare la maggior parte del tempo a costruire cose girando come criceti, cosa che mi fa capire che non è il genere che fa per me. Volendo esprimere in percentuale le mie sensazioni direi: 95 % farming 5% avventura. Nel complesso lo trovo comunque un bel progetto per gli amanti del genere. In più questo tipo di combat system è inutilmente macchinoso e svilisce il ritmo dell'azione. Fosse stato nel complesso tutto più arcade mi ci sarei tuffato!! Come altri casual gamer come me immagino...
the games great and is a must play for any black flag fans but the sword combat needs a rework or the npcs you fight need a huge nerf almost everything can one shot you including the birds, i really hope they redo it besides that the games perfect
ape drive ship ape sink other apes
its fun
Extremely realistic water graphics, game play is smooth. Totally recommend this game!
ahoy
the start of this game is not to be taken lightly for sure had a rough time getting started. crashed out a bit when you run back to get yur stuff and its gone, that's only happened twice in 15 hrs so i hope they get rid of drop item on death, the shame of losing you ship and being sent all the way back home is enough. the sail of shame to get yur stuff is lame i do like how the game pushes you to work as crew as to not get pooped on by a random boar. game for sure needs work but has the works to be a great game if they take it in the right direction. i got high hopes for this one hopefully i don't get let down and bored after 3 (150 hrs) months like arc. regardless worth playing with friends that don't mind working as a team.
This game is everything I've ever wanted from a game about pirates.
Enjoyable game with lots of potential!
not perfect, but lots of fun
