There are a lot of roguelite games, crossing over with a dozen other genres. Maybe your rogue capacity is filled to the brim and spilling over. That’s kind of what I was thinking when I sat down to play Rogue Waters. But then it has enough originality to be engaging, and it’s made well enough to be fun! This isn’t the holistic pirate game of my imagination, but sometimes you don’t want to play Red Read Redemption, you want to play a fast run of something that holds your attention and hits hard. Rogue Waters will do that for you. And I hope before we get a Rockstar or Naughty Dog pirate magnum opus, we get a hundred more games with cool ideas like Rogue Waters. There’s room in the world of gaming for someone to take a wild shot, and sometimes that shot hits its target.

Rogue Waters is a solid title for those who like the weirdly common overlap that pirates and the supernatural have, and will definitely please those who enjoy a good Firaxis-adjacent turn-based combat system. Rogue Waters was reviewed on Microsoft Windows using a game code provided by Tripwire Presents.

Rogue Waters is a fun and immersive pirate-themed tactical rogue-lite that offers a unique blend of naval and melee combat. While there’s room for growth in terms of content and UI polish, the game’s core mechanics are addictive, and its short, engaging runs make it perfect for players seeking bite-sized adventures. If you’re a fan of tactical combat and swashbuckling tales, this is one treasure worth digging into—especially if you can catch it on sale.

Pro Game Guides

Between the unique raid maps, various crew builds, and sea monsters to summon (yes, you get to unleash a Kraken), every run feels like a new adventure. It’s a game that you can easily lose hours in, and the depth of customization keeps things interesting even after multiple raids. Score: 4/5 Verdict Rogue Waters sets out to deliver a story-driven roguelite experience with a pirate twist, and for the most part, it succeeds.
