Tide & Powder is a solo 3D pirate sailing roguelike. You command a small warship, steer through shifting winds and coastal waters, and grow a sturdier ship through sea battles, salvage and harbor visits. In battle, you turn to bring your port and starboard broadsides to bear, use the the bow and stern guns and plan each volley around the reload, while the wind, your sails, firing arcs and nearby islands all affect how you approach. After a fight, you sail close to wrecks to collect gold and upgrades, and in harbors you repair the hull and buy stronger ships. The game is shown in landscape. Tip: use the wind to your advantage and position the ship so you can fire a full broadside while the enemy cannot.
If it clicks with you, Soda Sandbox, Revoxel 3D - Voxel RPG Shooter and Grand Shift Auto are close in spirit.
