In Of Ships & Scoundrels players send their fleet into battle with other ships in exciting turn-based strategy matches, with real-time cannon-firing mechanics.

Of Ships & Scoundrel stakes you on a journey to unkown lands that wait to be explored and conquered. As the commander of your fleet, you have to steer your battleships through a beautiful scenery of little islands with a Caribbean flair, fight against enemies and so-called friends - and sometimes also forge dubious alliances. On this journey, no adventure is like the other, because all of the landscapes and quests are procedurally generated.

Of Ships & Scoundrels is a unique combination of turn-based strategy and action game that can be enjoyed alone or together via hot seat and online multiplayer, either in skirmish- or story mode.

In Of Ships & Scoundrels players level up their ships, build harbors and expand them with buildings to be well prepared against enemy forces.

As a player, you don’t actually get to play the hero, but rather the scoundrel. To make a name for yourself in the world of pirates, you have to forge dubious, but necessary alliances with other pirates, in order to defeat your ultimate enemy, Lord Melville. This results in interesting twists in the story that lead to an epic finale.

Of Ships & Scoundrels sails into Early Access with four immersive missions in the single-player campaign and offers a thrilling multiplayer experience, as well as a local hotseat mode for up to four players.

As commander of a growing fleet, players steer their battleships through beautiful scenery, battle friends and foes, and forge dubious alliances!
