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.

Great Pirate Survival game. There's so many great QoL improvements in this game, for example building a base/settlement doesn't cost ridiculous amounts of resources like other games, 1 wood = 1 foundation at the start of the game. You also don't need to eat and drink to stay alive, food just gives buffs and increases health bar. Combat is fun and challenging and isn't just button mashing. Environment, lighting and sound is great. I love when it storms in the game. There are so many things I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate in a game like this and it's only been out a few months. For an Early Access this one is top tier. Looking forward to the next update! If you like survival games, base building, pirate themes, then definitely check out this game!
great game
Simple and yet so detailed. Gameplay is very fun and ship battles are amazing. Super co-op game, and for those who love gathering ressources and build an insane base, this game's for you.
It is great. Buy it.
This game has a lot of potential. It stands out by doing things its own way instead of trying to copy other games. The combat is solid, and the ability system is enjoyable. I also like how every server has a procedurally generated map, making each playthrough feel unique, even if it can be frustrating at times.
Best "Early Access" game I've played
Das erste Piratenspiel das mir Spass macht. Looten, leveln, bauen, kämpfen - fühlt sich alles an wie aus einem Guß. Habe wochenlang nichts anderes gespielt. Je mehr Leute man dabei hat, desto besser wird es. Seefahrten und Seekämpfe fühlen sich authentisch an und man hat immer was zu tun. Tolle Grafik, toller Stil, läuft butterweich.
Don't play it, it is addictive and you will loose track of time.
Зашли три мужчика поиграть. 6 часов в меню просидели, но так и не смогли зайти все вместе на один сервер. Танцы с бубном не помогли. Не рекомендую
