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?

“We have found through the demo the best way to shape GUNBOAT-8 is through the help of the community. Early Access will allow us to do this further. We will be spending early access using the community to help determine what weapons they want to see in the game through feedback and events.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The full game is planned to release in 2026. Early access will last between 1-2 months.”

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

“We plan to expand beyond the early access content for the full release. The full release will include more weapons, ships, enemies and special missions than early access, giving even more content to play through.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The early access release provides a significant content expansion on the demo, featuring new weapons, ships, characters and game modes. At launch, early access will have over 20 weapons to discover through exploring the regional theatres.”

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

“The price of the game is subject to increase after early access according to the length of the development process.”

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

“The community are the beating heart of the game and have already been monumental in shaping how the game looks and feels today. Early access means we can continue shaping the game together, for longer. We will be running live events in-game where you can compete and help determine which weapons, ships and other content make it into the 1.0 release.”

About This Game

Arm the GUNBOAT-8 and set sail in this naval bullet-heaven roguelike. Destroy enemy ships, claim their bounties, and discover new weapon synergies to customise your warpship.

Find epic loot to power up your ship!

Spend scraps to build the ideal warship.

Features

  • Captain a ship: battle waves of enemies to find loot and earn rewards. Your ship attacks for you, so you just need to focus on steering!

  • Discover crazy builds: find weapons, runes and modifications to create epic combinations. Merge weapons together to construct higher tiers.

  • Conquer the seas: traverse real-world environments as you attempt to conquer the oceans, facing a variety of bosses along the way.

  • Recruit allies: recruit bosses you defeat to fight alongside you. From Blackbeard to aircraft carriers!

In GUNBOAT-8 you battle waves on enemies to earn money. Money can be spent in the shop to equip new weapons and modifiers, or you can enhance your existing weapons with unique runes that change the feel of each weapon. Design around your playstyle. Want to captain the mightiest pirate ship on the seas, or would you prefer to outsource your weaponry to an army of sharks?
