Rogue Waters is a tactical turn-based rogue-lite set in a pirate world overtaken by a terrible curse. Recruit a ragtag crew of pirates and grow them into fierce warriors, befriend and call upon classic creatures of pirate myth, chart a course through an ever-changing game world, and turn the tides of battle on land or sea by manipulating the map to gain an advantage in a fresh take on tactical turn-based combat. The crew and the Kraken await your command–will ye heed the call?
 
Rogue Waters key features include:
Become the Captain - Embrace the chaos of the pirate life as you chart your course through the ever-changing world and plan your naval and melee combat strategy.
 
Assemble Your Crew - Recruit new members to your crew, each with a randomized skill tree allowing you to experiment and develop them into the legendary pirates they were always meant to be.
 
Ever-Changing Land and Sea - Tackle fresh new challenges as the game world shifts randomly with each subsequent run.
 
Turn the Tides - Utilize your ship’s artillery during naval combat to manipulate the terrain,  giving your crew a strategic advantage during melee encounters. It’s cannonball-based map customization!
