Pirate Waters

About Pirate Waters

Pirate Waters is a cozy turn-based naval tactics game about positioning, careful planning, and blowing up pirate ships.

Sail across small tactical maps, choose the right firing side, manage limited movement and equipment, and try not to get surrounded. Every turn is simple to understand, but one wrong move can quickly turn a calm voyage into complete chaos.

Game Modes

Campaign

Fight through handcrafted battles with different enemy fleets, frigates, special encounters, reinforcements, and pirate fortresses.

Roguelike

Start each run with a basic ship and slowly build it into a powerful war vessel.

Battle through randomized levels, discover upgrades, unlock special weapons, defeat elite ships, and continue into Endless Mode after completing the main run.

Sandbox

Place terrain, decorations, crates, enemy ships, bosses, and your own player ship. Custom maps can be saved in three separate slots and played whenever you like.
