Designed from the start to be a fully procedural co-op game, Windward can be played by yourself, but it truly comes alive when playing with friends. Start by generating a procedural world that will be unique to you, design your own custom faction then sail forward fighting pirates, trading with towns, doing quests or simply exploring -- it's up to you how you want to play.

Critic Reviews
The Outerhaven Productions
By Clinton Bowman-ChristieI don't really play sandbox games, as I get bored easily by arbitrary goals that usually mean nothing to the game, but something about Windward raises my sails (pun completely intended.)
TechRaptor
By Luigi SavinelliWindward relies on few basic mechanics that sometimes fall short. Nonetheless, It has the potential of giving hours of mindless enjoyment.
Geeks Under Grace
By Phil GoinsWindward is a fun RPG for customization, but unfortunately it becomes tedious and repetitive very quickly. However, it is more fun to play multiplayer and hopefully we will get to see some expansion and DLC very soon.
Wccftech
By Jeff WilliamsA very nice entry into the naval sandbox genre. Perhaps the only entry worth considering, and a great game in its own right. You can explore a vast world and do whatever you please to achieve your goals.
Softpedia
By Radu HaulicaIf you're looking for something similar to Sid Meier's Pirates, you will find Windward to be frustrating and boring, running in circles around the map and around enemy ships, with random gear upgrades and dull content.
