About the Game

A pirate-themed lane-based tower defense roguelite where players build a crew to take on the Skully Seas, liberating islands, finding helpful treasures, and encountering new pirates to add to the adventure along the way! The Seas have been cursed by a fearsome pirate foe leading to the resurrection of cursed creatures, skeletons, and ghouls alike who have invaded and plundered settlements all throughout the waters.

GAMEPLAY AND STORY

You've been called to take back the Skully Seas, lift the curse, and put an end to the mysterious pirate who is responsible for the curse plaguing the Seas. Begin each adventure by setting your ship's course from one of three routes. In each route, you will find multiple islands each with their own encounters: Epic battles, buried treasures, upgrades for your ship and crewmates, or even dangerous events with unknown outcomes.

BATTLES

During battles, place your crew members to fight against waves of the undead. Place your crew members wisely as you are limited to the amount that are currently a part of your crew. Crew members can be categorized into multiple types such as Gatherer, Ranged, Melee, and more. Placed crew members can be upgraded during a battle for various stat bonuses that will last the entire battle. After each battle, your crew makes their way into town which then gives you the decision to recruit other pirates for your cause, adding them to your crew members.

The journey to lift the curse won't be easy. You must sail through three territories that each have their own boss and series of islands. Every adventure is different with randomized paths, islands, crew members, and buried treasures.

CAPTAINS

Before each adventure, you must choose your Captain. This will determine the crew members you start with. Every captain has their own unique bonuses and can be leveled up to unlock more starting crew members. Captains are unlockable by completing various challenges. 

TREASURES

During adventures, you will find buried treasures which will grant powerful bonuses. Treasures are essential for assembling a well made crew.
