About Rogue Waters

About this game

BECOME THE PIRATE CAPTAIN

Set sail as Captain Cutter, a pirate caught in a deadly struggle for power and vengeance. Navigate dangerous waters, unleash mythical sea creatures, and outwit enemies as you chase legendary treasure and confront dark secrets.

  • Embark on a journey of loyalty, betrayal, and revenge, as you unravel the mysteries of the Sea Shepherd prophecy and face the immortal Captain Blackbone.

  • Use your Pirate Cave (HUB) to equip ship upgrades & crew members before each run.

  • Each run generates new encounters, requiring careful navigation as you work your way toward Captain Blackbone.

  • Enjoy a rich, story-driven adventure across 3 acts, with endless replayability.

ASSEMBLE YOUR CREW

Recruit and grow your pirate crew, discovering their hidden potential as you lead them into battle. It's your responsibility to mold them into the legendary pirates they were destined to be.

  • Recruit from 6 unique classes, each with distinct abilities and playstyles for your ship’s crew.

  • After each run, upgrade your crew’s skills to increase their effectiveness.

  • Damage persists across runs, requiring you to swap out crew members to allow them time to heal.

EVER-CHANGING LAND AND SEA

Face new challenges as the game world shifts procedurally with each run, offering fresh secrets, combat scenarios, and treasures to discover.

  • Encounters feature diverse pirate factions and enemy types—choose your battles wisely.

  • Your crew will engage enemies on ships and land alike.

  • Visit shops to heal, upgrade crew, buy cannons, and repair your ship.

  • You can extort shops for loot, but it’ll lead to a fight.

TURN THE TIDES

Customize your naval encounters with cannons and ship artillery. Unleash powerful shots during naval combat to destroy enemy ship modules and gain the upper hand in boarding fights.

  • Encounters begin with Sea Battles where you can use cannons to target key areas of enemy ships.

  • Both your ship and the enemy's have distinct buffs that can be destroyed.

  • Crew members can be targeted and killed during battle, so defend your ship and crew before boarding.

TACTICS EN GARDE!

Experience a fresh take on turn-based tactical combat that replicates the visceral intensity of cloak-and-dagger duels. Use the environment to gain the upper hand like never before.

  • The boarding phase involves hand-to-hand combat where your crew faces off against enemies.

  • Use your crew's unique abilities to maneuver and pin enemies against obstacles for fatal damage.

  • Leverage the environment by pushing enemies into spikes, grabbing one-time weapons, or swinging into position with ropes.

SUMMON CREATURES FROM THE DEEP

Legendary sea creatures, once thought to be myths, roam the oceans of Rogue Waters. Free them from captivity and gain their trust to summon them in battle.

Summon 3 sea monsters to assist in the boarding phase:

  • The Kraken crushes nearby enemies.

  • The Mermaid disrupts and pushes enemies in any direction.

  • The Giant Snail drops a deadly spiked obstacle on the deck.

THESE WATERS ARE ROGUE-LITE

Each run resets your equipment and items, but unlocks permanent upgrades for your crew, ship, and Captain Cutter, allowing you to grow stronger with every battle.

  • Items and upgrades reset between each run:

    • Personal items (character equipment): additional weapons, attack modifiers, and side upgrades for abilities.

    • Shipboard weapons (cannons and similar items): each new run begins with a usable, basic starter set.

    • Ship modules reset as well.

  • Each run permanently increases your progress:

    • Unlock skill trees for crew members and Captain Cutter.

    • Acquire ship and port facility upgrades in the Pirate Cave (HUB).
