Windward Free Download
Set sail across a procedurally generated ocean in Windward an action-filled naval sandbox that blends exploration, trade, and high-seas combat. You begin your journey as the captain of a modest boat, choosing one of four unique factions—each with distinct bonuses—before heading out into a vast, uncharted world. The game is designed to be played at your own pace; you can be a peaceful merchant establishing lucrative trade routes between growing towns, or a feared privateer hunting down pirate galleons.
As you complete tasks and sink rival ships, you earn experience and gold to upgrade your vessel. The progression system is surprisingly deep, allowing you to customize everything from your hull and sails to specialized talent trees that enhance your combat or diplomatic prowess. Towns in the world are dynamic; as you trade with them, they grow, offering better upgrades and more challenging quests. Whether you are braving legendary storms in solo play or teaming up with friends in co-op, the rhythmic bobbing of the waves and the smoke of broadside cannons create a deeply atmospheric maritime experience.
