Rogue Waters is a tactical turn-based roguelite 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!
 
Revolutionary Melee Tactics - Flex your skills as an expert tactician while remaining fully connected to the action with a fresh new take on turn-based tactics designed to replicate the violent dance of close-quarters and naval combat.
 
Summon Creatures from the Deep - Creatures thought only to exist in myth are being abused and exploited by enemies. Defeat their captors and gain their trust to earn the ability to call upon these mythical beasts in battle.
