About
Every journey in Windward is unique. Generate a world that is yours alone, filled with dynamic towns, unpredictable encounters, and a growing network of trade and conflict. As you sail further from your starting point, the challenges intensify, but so do the rewards. Pirates lurk in uncharted waters, and the AI, bound by the same rules as you, must explore and adapt just as you do.
Windward is designed for both solo and cooperative play. While you can sail alone, the experience truly comes alive with friends. Work together to expand your influence, take on dangerous foes, and build a thriving faction. As your reputation grows, friendly AI may even choose to follow and assist you in your adventures.
Your ship is your lifeline, and choosing the right one matters. Fast Schooners are ideal for exploration, while massive Ships of the Line bring unmatched firepower to battle. As towns prosper through trade and questing, they offer new upgrades and more powerful ships, allowing you to adapt to the ever-changing world.
How you shape your journey is entirely up to you. Fight off pirates, trade with growing towns, take on quests, or simply explore the open waters. Towns will respond to your actions, growing as you supply their needs. Build a fearsome reputation, and the AI will take notice—some will challenge you, while others will choose to stay out of your way.
Set sail and carve your path in a world that evolves with you.

很好玩，买的那个贵的版本也不知道给的啥，反正没看到，当然几十块也没啥，属于给童年回忆补票了，小时候拿手机可爱玩这个游戏了，汉化去社区拿，我用了没什么问题。其实内容没那么多，本质有点像刷装备。难度可以自调，不用太折磨自己。
hehe
This is such a great game -- relaxing (really enchanting music), open-world feel but not overwhelming in scope, lots of variety in missions, strategies, etc. I wish I could zoom down to a horizontal view! But that would be another game entirely. Well worth the full price, at a 50% reduction I am getting a huge amount of fun out of a very small investment. Haven't played it very much but am loving it so far. Thank you Tasharen!

Świetne, przyjemne, relaksujące, klimatyczna muzyka. Ale nadal nie dorównuje to Piratom Sida Meiersa.
Fun, relaxing and addictive game, Hard to not do "one more run". Goes on sale for $5 fairly often. Recommended.
I would not recommend that game to anyone, neither friend or foe. Whats good in there: - First 2-4 hours its fresh, its offers great expirience due surfing open seas, fight pirates or become one. - Such a sweet music there, 3-4 tracks but makes ambient very cozy. - Fighting are good, just make sure you pull damage scroller to 200%, or it becomes minus. Whats bad in there: -Everything after 4 hours of playing. Grind gold for next ship, grind lvl-s for next region, grind resources for achivement quest. Bah! - "Боты, ёбаные боты." (с.) Some guy from Battlefield 2. - Co-op dead (do not missunderstend with multiplayer). Its simply IMPOSSIBLE to one friend join in co-op map to another. Game simply not allow you to. - Multiplayer is not dead, but almost. 1-2 active players a day. Even AvP(2010) have more necro-players in t. - Achievements are good, but one achievement is almost impossible to get, because its requires +1 player and virgin untaken region in multiplayer server to cap it (which is HARDER to find EVERY day). Really make my week harder, I was forced to call a special-ops group to assist me with that one. - Just look at a price. This 10 years old game have to be sold for 1$ without a discount. Well, thats it I guess. I wish you only the best, dear stranger. Comments are open.

Had windows vista era MSFT store Popcap vibes... much like every Popcap game that isn't PvZ & Feeding Frenzy, it was boring very quick.
👍
Part of my lifelong journey to scratch the 'Sid Meier's Pirates!' itch. This one didn't quite get there, but it's good.
