About the Game

Vampirate Horde-Survivors!

Take the helm of a demonic pirate ship. As captain you have manual control over the mighty front cannon, where the side cannons is operated by the vampirate crew you assemble from captured sailors.

Create overpowered builds by synergizing these fresh-fanged swabs, and achieve immortality under the moonlight!

Avoid the sun - Thrive in the dark

Don't forget, you're all vampires! The sun is an ever-present threat looming in the horizon. Discipline the lust for blood and plunder by always staying one step ahead. No sunblock factor can protect this vampirate crew from death by sunrise, a fate worse than scurvy.

Build a crew of vampirates - Level up by drinking sailor blood!

Turn captured sailors to vampirism, or satiate the existing crew through sacrifice. Keeping all parties fed (the demonic ship included) is an important balancing act for long term success.

Every vampirate upgrade themselves towards 1 of 3 different affinities every time they drink sailor blood. Acquiring upgrades in every affinity will result in powerful synergies that can further compliment the skillset of other crew members.

Balancing the affinities is key to achieving overpowered builds that fends off everything the ocean can throw at you!

Explore and go treasure hunting!

Find treasure maps and chart your course towards priceless treasures and perilous side quests. No risk is high enough for this crew!
