The age-of-sail sandbox Windward Isles is now available with native Linux support on Steam.

In this trading and seafaring sandbox you take the wheel of your own ship, run cargo between ten harbours, fight off corsairs with broadsides and climb from a lowly deckhand to the Windward Sovereign. The game costs 14.49 EUR.

It offers eight ships from a Cutter to a Man-o’-War, a living economy with 18 goods across ten harbours, boarding combat and the modes Relaxed, Standard, Cutthroat plus a Peaceful mode with no enemies at all. There are no timers or fail states, and a full career runs about a dozen hours.

Windward Isles is a sun-drenched age-of-sail sandbox. Take the wheel of your own ship, run cargo between ten living harbours, fight off corsairs with thundering broadsides, and climb from a lowly deckhand to the sea’s highest honour - the Windward Sovereign.

No timers, no fail states rushing you along. Chart your own course across a crystal-clear ocean and make your fortune however you please.

Eighteen goods across ten harbours - buy low where they’re made, sell dear where they’re craved. Prices drift day to day, shortages spike, festivals lift a whole port.

Sail your way up the fleet - from a nimble Cutter to a mighty Man-o’-War. Broadside combat - fire port and starboard, cycle round, chain and grape shot, and unleash combat skills.
