A downloadable game for Windows

Our greed has challenged the seas. We have angered her and now we must pay the price. For her waves spread many dark curses, are you the pirate to lift them?

The sea is a harsh mistress, unforgiving.

All seafarers must yield to the waves of her dark abyss. Her waves of cold tendrils forever changing the seas. She leaves nothing in her wake. Nothing but the black spot. 

Lifting this curse is a perilous journey that dooms all that sails it. These harsh seas cannot be bested alone. Seadogs stand ready at the mast, chefs, gunners and fighters. You will need their aid for other dangers lurk on these here seas. 

An empire steadfast and strong. Avarice made flesh. Wretched beasts, corrupted to fit her horrible design. 

So bring all your Captains & Cannons and take yer salvation as the fiercest pirate of them all!


-  Choose your own treacherous randomized paths along the seas.

-  Encounter an array of swashbuckling events along the way.

-  Recruit pirates to fight by your side from 4 unique character classes.

-  Strategically fend off men and beasties in turn-based combat.

-  Manage your mateys and advance their skills as ye see fit with the leveling system.

-  Be warned for there be permadeath on these here waters.


Captains & Cannons is a strategic roguelike where you get to customize your crew, defeat enemies and explore islands along your way to break free from the clutches of the corrupted sea. The game is divided into three acts where you have to defeat tough enemies. Each of these encounters are fought in a turn-based fashion where you command your crew to perform actions each round.

The fights get increasingly more difficult as the journey goes on. In each act you will also have to defeat the bosses which accompany the theme for their respective acts. Defeating them will allow you to make progress. 

Manage your items and crew members accordingly, and perhaps you'll lift the curse of the sea.



“Stylish and vibrant random encounters. That creates a mood and sense of life in the world you are exploring. It is nicely done in the game and has a lot of artwork and flavor to keep the player interested.”
- Oskar Steinhauf, Assistant Development Manager at DICE

The game is very fun and challenging. 

This is brutal and unforgiving and I adored every second of it!! I love it when a game gives you a challenge to overcome and you guys have nailed it! The mechanics all feel nice and tight and the overall look and feel of the game is spot on! Nicely done!! I'll definitely be playing more of this!!

Thank you for the kind words!

Good luck on your journey to defeat Devon Agewe!

This game looks quite cool and I would be interested in covering it on my youtube channel.  Would you like that? Also would it be okay to play the music in the video or is it copyrighted?

Thank you. 

Btw I had an issue with items. I clicked on them and my character but nothing happened.

Hi again! 

I have looked into the item system. Items can only be used in combat, there are 2 different types of items, some heals all characters and some are single target. The single target functions the same way as actions (left click to select the item and right click on the target you want to use the item on). The "all team" items instantly are consumed and activated when left clicking on it. Note that items can only be used it combat. I hope this helps! :)
