Sails of Salt

The Empire stole your flagship. Your crew is in chains. Take them back.

Sails of Salt is a pirate roguelite about perilous voyages, devastating losses, and the legend every captain leaves behind. Explore an atmospheric, procedurally generated sea, hunt ships, and plunder their cargo. If you go down, you lose your ship, your crew, and all your unsecured loot. Whatever you bring home remains with your lineage and strengthens the next captain.

Key Features

• Fight with wind, waves, and broadsides.
  Trim your sails to the wind and hold your own on a treacherous, dynamic ocean. Switch to a precision broadside view in combat and adapt your tactics to your objective, the threat, and conditions at sea.

• Capture ships. Command your fleet.
  Strike at enemy rigging and crew, board hostile ships, and seize them instead of sinking them. Crew your prizes and have them sail at your side.

• Every hand has a face. Every voyage leaves its mark.
  Ordinary sailors become seasoned specialists. Customize their appearance, train them, and see how morale, wounds, and your decisions shape their stories.

• Outfit every ship for its role.
  Find blueprints, choose your hull, and combine rigging, weapons, and deck equipment. Give every ship in your fleet a name and a paint scheme of its own.

• No two voyages sail the same sea.
  Every time you set sail, a new world takes shape, filled with islands, harbours, wrecks, imperial fortresses, and mysterious places. Face threats that change from voyage to voyage as weather and time of day shape your journey. Take on contracts, follow rumours, and make consequential choices at landfall.

• Bring your loot home.
  Free the Salt-Sworn, the founding crew of your flagship. They and your loot are safe only in the Caldera, a hidden pirate haven in the crater of an active volcano. Expand your refuge between voyages and watch the cove grow with every homecoming.
