In Outsail the Sun, take the helm of a demonic pirate ship. As captain you have manual control over the mighty front cannon, where the side cannons are operated by the vampirate crew you assemble from captured sailors.
Create overpowered builds by synergizing these fresh-fanged swabs, and achieve immortality under the moonlight!
Outsail the Sun Gameplay Features:
-
Avoid the sun - Thrive in the dark: Don't forget, you're all vampires! The sun is an ever-present threat looming in the horizon. Discipline the lust for blood and plunder by always staying one step ahead. No sunblock factor can protect this vampirate crew from death by sunrise, a fate worse than scurvy.
-
Build a crew of vampirates: Turn captured sailors to vampirism, or satiate the existing crew through sacrifice. Keeping all parties fed (the demonic ship included) is an important balancing act for long term success.
-
Unique horde survivor: A ship-based bullet-heaven with both manual and auto-battle elements. A wide range of gunner sailors and support sailors, offering different synergies.
-
Explore and go treasure hunting! Find treasure maps and chart your course towards priceless treasures and perilous side quests. No risk is high enough for this crew!
Conquer dark oceans as the captain of a vampirate crew. Feast on sailor blood for roguelite-style upgrades, fend off mighty sea creatures with your overpowered builds, go treasure hunting, and outsail the sun to achieve bullet-heaven under the night sky!
