This is not a game that Ice Code Games and Tripwire Presents are making to compete with Sea of Thieves or Skull & Bones, because the genre is completely different.

Rogue Waters is a tactical, turn-based roguelike set in a pirate world that has been overtaken by a terrible curse. Gather your ragtag crew of rogues and train them to become fierce pirates. Befriend and summon legendary creatures from seafaring myths. Chart your course through an ever-changing game world and turn the tide of battle on land and sea in a fresh take on tactical turn-based combat. The crew and the Kraken await your command – will you heed the call?

Embrace the chaos of pirate life as you chart your course through the ever-changing world and plan your strategy for sea and melee combat, slowly becoming a master tactician with each successive run. Recruit new crew members to discover their potential. Then nurture that potential by sending them into battle! It’s your responsibility to mold them into the legendary pirates they were always meant to be. Tackle new challenges as the game world changes procedurally with each playthrough. With each playthrough comes a whole new set of secrets, battle scenarios, and treasures to discover.

Customize your encounters with your cannons! Unleash your ship’s artillery in sea battles to destroy enemy ship modules and give your crew a strategic advantage in shipdeck combat. Experience a fresh new take on turn-based tactical combat designed to replicate the violent dance of visceral cloak-and-dagger duels, using the environment to gain an advantage like never before. Creatures thought to exist only in legend roam the oceans of Rogue Waters, but are cruelly held in captivity. Send their captors to Davy Jones’ Locker and gain their trust to earn the ability to call them into battle.

Rogue Waters will be a PC-only release, and they’re taking their time to announce it, as it will launch on Steam and the Epic Games Store on September 30th.
