Windward is an action-filled multiplayer sandbox game that puts you in control of a ship sailing the high seas of a large procedurally-generated world.
Players sail across a procedurally generated world, choosing between trading, piracy, exploration, and combat. The game offers unprecedented freedom through navigating randomly generated map regions, completing diverse quests like cargo delivery and pirate hunting, trading specialized goods between unique towns, engaging in tactical naval battles, and upgrading skills and ship capabilities.
Battles burst with dynamic action, featuring automatic cannons that fire based on ship positioning, wind-driven tactical movement, devastating special abilities like flaming barrel shots, multiship encounters involving up to 7-8 vessels, and progressively challenging enemies as players explore further regions.
The RPG-style system allows players to unlock talents across three specialization trees, choose from six distinct ship types, customize ship appearance with hull and sail colors, develop towns by completing trade and combat missions, and build defensive structures like lighthouses.
Flexible multiplayer options include seamless transitions between solo and group play, cooperative missions scaling player levels, persistent character progression across different servers, and optional PvP in contested regions.
The game offers endless world variations through procedural generation, no restrictive narrative enabling complete player agency, balanced gameplay oscillating between peaceful trading and intense naval warfare, and an immersive sailing experience with strategic depth.
