## What is Pirates?

From a lone sloop to a powerful battleship, your pirate legend starts here.

Pirates: Kraken Waters is a single-player pixel-art sailing adventure packed with naval battles, merchant raids and dangerous waters. Collect gold, improve your ship and crew, and challenge the Kraken.

FIGHT WITH BOTH BROADSIDES
Line up your ship, fire your port or starboard cannons, and maneuver while each side reloads. Time your shots and position your ship to land the perfect volley.

RISE THROUGH SIX SHIP CLASSES
Start small and work your way through the sloop, schooner, brig, corvette and frigate to a mighty battleship. Each class brings its own speed, handling, crew capacity and firepower.

CHOOSE YOUR CANNONS
Fit balanced, rapid-fire, long-range or heavy cannons. Trade reload speed for range or damage, then improve reload performance at the arsenal.

RAID CONVOYS. CLAIM THE LOOT.
Hunt merchant ships and their escorts. Win sea battles, collect floating cargo and turn your gold into a stronger ship.

TAKE THE FIGHT ON DECK
Weaken an enemy ship, sail alongside and launch a boarding attack. Crew numbers matter. Tap Attack to help your sailors win the clash.

EXPLORE A LIVING ARCHIPELAGO
Sail past tropical islands, reefs, shipwrecks and schools of fish. Navigate whirlpools and gusts of wind, and find ports where you can repair your hull and recruit crew.

ACCEPT CONTRACTS AND HUNT BOSSES
Take jobs in port and follow your objective across the sea. Face the Kraken or a formidable black-sailed warship in timed hunts for a bigger reward.

MADE FOR YOUR WAY TO PLAY
Enjoy touch controls, separate broadside buttons, adjustable camera zoom, and support for portrait and landscape play.

Set sail. Bring back gold. Build your legend.
