One month after Winderose release – Is it worth it?
It’s been just under a month since Windrose was released, and now that the initial hype has settled down, it’s becoming clear what this pirate adventure really has in store for you. Find out on the GPORTAL blog whether it’s already worth it and if you can set sail with your friends, explore the islands, and build your own world with a fleet.
More Than Just a Pretty Pirate Setting
At first glance, Windrose immediately grabs your attention with its setting. Ships, islands, battles, and that uniquely rugged atmosphere in the pirate cosmos spark curiosity. But Windrose isn’t just about atmosphere—even though it really adds a lot to the gameplay experience.
Windrose combines survival, exploration, crafting, base-building, and battles on land and on the high seas into a fantastic mix that works wonderfully, especially in co-op. The Windrose multiplayer mode in particular offers plenty of fun and many hilarious moments with your friends. The game isn’t just a quick detour into a decorative pirate world, but an adventure you’ll keep diving deeper into.
What currently awaits you in Windrose
Even a month after the Windrose release, you’re still coming aboard at exactly the right time. As things stand, Windrose features multiple biomes, nearly 30 islands, many interesting locations, quests, dungeons, ships, and of course exciting loot. So you won’t just be strolling around the deck a bit and stretching your legs on land. Enjoy beautiful views, get your hands dirty, and experience a story that’s absolutely captivating.
Even the Windrose demo showed early on the direction the game was heading and definitely didn’t overpromise. If you already liked the demo, then it’s high time to check out Windrose right now.
What's Windrose like after a month?
The first month after release is often the moment when a game shows its true colors. The launch hype has died down, but at the same time, you can see much more clearly what’s already working really well and where there are still minor issues. Kraken Express is already hard at work on exactly that. Since the release, there have already been several Windrose updates, which have primarily focused on technical issues.
Major new content updates for Windrose are coming later, while the current focus is primarily on stability and fine-tuning. So if you wanted to avoid those first turbulent days right after release, you’ll now find a game that’s already incredibly playable and has plenty to offer.
For whom it’s worth jumping in right now
If you and your friends are looking for a game that fills entire evenings, offers tangible progress, and turns you into real adventurers, then Windrose is just the thing. This isn’t something for a quick session here and there—you’ll be building, perhaps moving on, looting, fighting, and discovering more and more of the world. It’s precisely this shared progress that creates excitement in Windrose’s multiplayer mode and brings you even closer together as a group.
However, if you’re waiting for a game that’s already perfectly polished with no rough edges, then you should probably give Windrose a little more time—that’s exactly what Early Access is for. But being part of the development process is one of the biggest sources of excitement in the game.
Why have your own Windrose server?
In a game like Windrose, having your own server makes a big difference quickly and makes a lot of sense, especially for groups. You’re on an adventure with your friends; you want to build, prepare ships, and create something of your own. It’s just much more relaxing to play on your own Windrose server like the one from GPORTAL. Everything is ready to go at any time; you’re always online and can make faster progress without having to wait constantly.
Especially now, after Windrose’s first very successful month, it makes sense for many players to start with their own server. That way, you can not only try it out briefly but also experience the game together in your own unique way right away.
Landlubbers, it’s time to set sail for the open seas
Windrose has a clear direction that’s incredibly fun and offers plenty of adventures packed with excitement and variety. And with Early Access, this is just the beginning.
