Make the broadside count
Bring the right guns to bear, aim your volley and fire. Change your spread to catch a turning rival or concentrate your shot.
The game
A little seamanship.
A lot of gunpowder.
Third-person naval combat where your heading, your timing and the next relic can change the fight.
Actual development gameplayFight for the next relic
Relics scattered through the arena give you single-use tricks, ammunition and defenses. Carry four, choose your moment and use what the sea gives you.
Turn a chase into a mistake
Catch the wind, drop anchor for a tight turn or pull a rival into trouble with your harpoon. Position matters as much as firepower.
Finish it on deck
Bring a badly damaged rival alongside and challenge their crew. A fast boarding clash can sink them and put your own hull back together.
Leave room for the ridiculous
Launch a keg of rum. Send a saboteur beneath a keel. Call in a ghost galleon. Naval combat takes a few liberties here.
Pick your rules
Same sea.
Different grudges.
Five modes in the current development build. Host settings let you change the pace.
Deathmatch
Sink rivals and finish with the highest score.
Smuggler’s Run
Claim floating cargo and deliver it to the marked harbour. Everyone else has the same idea.
King of the Hill
Hold the marked stretch of water. Contested water earns nobody points.
Arsenal
Every sink advances your cannon ammunition. Fight through five stages to win.
Last Ship Afloat
One ship. No respawns. Be the last captain still afloat.
Know your waters
Arena, with
an escape route.
Islands break up the open water. Lagoons and channels bring ships together. Caves offer cover, but tight turns make heavy ships think twice.
Relics and repair pickups give you a reason to keep moving. Staying alive is more than sailing in circles.
