## About Windrose

Kraken Express developed Windrose, a pirate survival RPG set in an oceanic open world. The game combines base-building, crafting, faction-reputation systems, and exploration across challenging long-form sessions designed for sitting down and playing. Combat occurs both on land with soulslite-inspired mechanics including bosses, and at sea with heavy ship naval battles, while enemy territorial behavior adds strategic depth. Online co-op allows players to team up with friends or partners. Reviewers and players describe the base-building as chill and intuitive, exploration as free and unobstructed, and the naval combat as immersive. Windrose runs Playable on Steam Deck and holds an 89% positive rating from over 19,600 Steam reviews.
