Not just cannons Use mystical crystals to escape the enemy’s cannonballs, bring down meteorites onto your opponent or call a huge octopus to your aid! Pirate together Share the world of Tempest between you and your friends. Explore, trade and do quests together, or declare war on each other and watch the world burn! Pure singleplayer Want to be a lone sea wolf? Multiplayer is only an option, the game is originally designed for single-player. Hey Captain! When we created Tempest , we focused primarily on the most thrilling part of pirate life – sea battles. As you navigate the dangerous waters of the game you won’t just catch up with merchants, but you will encounter fellow pirates, creepy followers of a mysterious cult and terrible mythical monsters: Kraken, Leviathan and other infamous creatures. Of course, there are plenty of weapons to choose from for every battle, including cannons, mortars, flame throwers and so on. Also there are special tools ready to help you to rig the ship for any purpose. However, you can obtain the most valuable artifacts only by finishing the multilevel quests called “legends”. Good hunting!
