HeroCraft PC announced the launch of its naval combat title, Pirate Ships, which set sail on Steam this past 3rd.

The game operates on a F2P model. You start with a modest schooner and work your way up to a formidable warship by carefully selecting cannons, modules, and crew to match your tactical flair. With dozens of ship types and a deep layer of customization for gear and upgrades, the freedom to build your own engine of destruction is the real draw here.

The heart of the experience lies in its PvP duels and leaderboard system, where you test your custom-built vessels against others. For those who prefer a solo voyage, the Caribbean campaign (PvE) offers story missions and encounters with sea monsters to net those rare rewards. You will need to manage your captain and crew's synergies to stay competitive, especially in the recurring challenge modes that promise exclusive loot.

Pirate Ships is no stranger to the high seas; it previously dropped on mobile, where it racked up over 1 million downloads.
