Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Windrose is a big, complex game with a lot of potential for additional features and gameplay systems. We believe that the Early Access version is a solid foundation, and the best way to build upon it is to let the players embark on this adventure and see what else they want to experience in the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We believe it will take from 1,5 to 2,5 years to reach the full release version.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan that the full version will have around 50% more content: more biomes, bosses, enemies, ships, loot, etc. The story is supposed to continue, unfolding into an epic adventure with a satisfying finale. That said, we also want to explore additional gameplay systems, not just adding the content into the existing ones.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Windrose is a fully playable survival adventure with optional co-op. Depending on various factors, the main story will take around 50-70 hours to complete, but this may vary depending on the playstyle. In terms of content and features, Early Access version contains 3 biomes (with unique main and side quests, crafting recipes, enemies and bosses) scattered across ~30 procedurally generated islands with over 90 hand crafted points of interest, 3 playable ships, naval combat with boarding actions, fully functional building system with several distinctive building styles, crafting and upgrading, character progression with stats and talents, armor, weapon and equipment combinations, Tortuga town, factions and their quests, as well as basic reputation systems and NPC workers.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, we plan to increase the price of the game once we release the full version.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We will collect feedback via our official Discord, Steam discussions, in-game reporting tool and surveys. While we do have a general plan of the future biomes, bosses and story arcs, player feedback will be crucial to determine what content and aspects of the game we need to focus on. We are determined to listen carefully and work hard to make this journey exciting for everyone.”

About This Game

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.

THE YEAR IS 17XX

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.

CONQUER THE SEAS

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.

SURVIVAL PERFECTED

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.

SWASHBUCKLING ADVENTURE

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.

HOIST THE COLORS

Windrose is fully playable solo offline or in co-op with friends, supporting up to four+ players, with both self-hosted and dedicated servers available. Procedural generation will make each journey stand out, but if you prefer just one character, the progress is carried over between different worlds.
