Tide & Powder
Tide & Powder is a single-player 3D pirate sailing roguelike. Command a small warship, navigate changing winds and coastal waters, and build a stronger vessel through naval combat, salvage and harbour visits. NAVAL COMBAT Turn to bring your port and starboard broadsides into position, use bow and stern guns, and time each volley around its reload. Wind, sail settings, firing arcs and islands shape your approach. Cannon fire, distinct hull and water impacts, short destruction effects and a sailing soundtrack accompany your battles. EXPLORE AND UPGRADE Sail past tropical islands, rugged coastlines and harbour settlements. Approach defeated ships to recover gold and choose upgrades for weapons, crew, rigging and hull. Spend gold at harbours to repair damage or purchase stronger ships. Enemies grow more dangerous as your hull and upgrades improve.
