'Tempest' Gets Release Date - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Aug. 4, 2016 @ 9:12 a.m. PDT

Focusing primarily on the most exciting elements of being a pirate – captaining your own ship and engaging in intense sea battles – Tempest is an action RPG set across three vast open world regions for you to discover.

Hey Captain! Now that you’ve got the Jolly Roger fluttering in the wind over your ship, you’re ready to rove the seas, take on merchant ships loaded with booty and storm formidable fortresses. Set sail and get your hands on all those legendary treasures that are just waiting for the picking!
When we created Tempest, we focused on the most thrilling part of pirate life – sea battles.

As you navigate the deep and dangerous oceans of Tempest, the earthly challenges of heavily defended merchant vessels and rival pirates are not all that you will be faced with. Sinister disciples of a mysterious cult and fearsome mythical creatures including the infamous Kraken and monstrous Leviathan will provide completely different challenges on your travels across the oceans.

Create, customize and upgrade your sea vessel – the pride and joy of any sea-faring adventurer – and take to the open seas to plunder treasure-laden merchant ships, go cannon-to-cannon with enemy galleons, and storm land based fortresses with your crew. You are free to change almost everything – from the color of your flag and sails to the ship’s hull and figurehead.

Hire your crew and level them up by completing quests and missions to create the most fearsome cutthroats on the high seas and then use them to board and capture other vessels. Choose from an array of weapons suitable for every type of sea battle including cannons, mortars and flamethrowers. Discover and unleash powerful artefacts such as mystical crystals to escape the enemy’s cannonballs, bring down meteorites from the heavens on to your rivals or summon a giant octopus to your aid.

With over 100 single-player quests to complete, a multiplayer mode for three players in both co-op and PvP and a vast open world to explore, Tempest truly allows you to choose how ruthless and cut-throat a pirate you want to be!


Key Features:

  • Seafarer’s adventures: Buy ships, upgrade your ships, decorate your ships.
  • Being a pirate: Marketer or Racketeer?: Buy something cheap and sell it at a higher price… This doesn’t sound like a pirate’s way. Plunder galleons, sink warships, destroy forts!
  • Fight huge monsters: Kraken’s sea-friends are waiting for you!
  • Powerful Artefacts: Use mystical crystals to escape the enemy’s cannonballs, bring down meteorites onto your opponent or call a huge octopus to your aid.
  • Create a great crew of tough guys: Level up your pirates, let them grow from sailor boys to skilled old salts.
  • Multiplayer. Play alongside your friends or fight against each other (The multiplayer will be available in future updates).
  • Three vast regions to discover.

Tempest will be available as digital download through Steam for $14.99/€14.99/£10.99.
