Moonwreck

Life at sea

• Sail where you point

  Click on the water and your ship plots its own course round islands and other ships. Hold and drag to steer as you go.

• Cannons and harpoons

  Twenty guns and fourteen kinds of ammo, each with its own reach and reload. Pick a target, open fire and read every blow, dice and all, in the combat log.

• Ships and sea monsters

  Fishing boats and merchants leave you alone; smugglers, pirates and sea serpents don't. Giant turtles, sharks, crabs and krakens roam the farther seas.

• Plunder and trade

  Every kill pays gold and experience and leaves chests and crates of goods afloat. Haul them aboard before they sink, but beware: go down, and your cargo is left where you sank.

• Bosses

  The Smuggler Baron and an escort hold a corner of the starting waters, mortar shells falling on marked spots of the sea. Every sea beyond has a boss of its own.

• Fifteen seas

  Past the starting waters lie fourteen more seas, each with its own map, bots and boss. Sail through the gates at their edges once your ship is strong enough.

A port to come home to

In the middle of the sea lies a harbour town. Sail in, and its buildings are a click away.

• 

  Tavern

  Bounty quests for every sea: sink what is asked and come back for the reward.

• 

  Market

  Sell the goods you hauled aboard and make room in the hold for more.

• 

  Workshop

  Sails, planking, a rudder and a lookout's gear for your ship, and the hull mended at once.

• 

  Shipyard

  Buy your next ship, or take the helm of any ship of your fleet laid up in port.

• 

  Arsenal

  Guns and ammo for every slot, and a quarter of the price back for what you no longer need.

The guild hall and the auction house open with the online game.

From sloop to ship of the line

Every ship has levels of its own, ten a tier and sixty at tier 6, and a talent tree of its own, with a signature talent every five levels: a rocket or a powder keg from level 25, a bombardment or a Royal standard from level 50. Over all your ships, your captain's mastery grows: passives in seven specializations, for every ship you sail.
