Seafarer: The Ship Sim puts players at the helm of their own career. Different factions offer unique missions, challenges and rewards. Whether transporting goods between harbors, fighting fires on the high seas or exploring a vast world - there are no limits to the design of your own personal adventure. From the humble tugboat to the mighty cargo ship, the game offers a multitude of detailed ships. On the high seas, every moment holds new surprises - emergency signals require immediate action and lost cargo needs to be recovered. You can also move around freely on your own ship, managing repairs, carry out maintenance work or control water cannons to fight fires.
In the Story Mode of Seafarer: The Ship Sim, an exciting storyline over several missions awaits players, in which all factions are involved. In contrast, you can set sail independently in Quick Play Mode. The character editor also makes it possible to personalize the appearance of your own captain and thus your journey.
Utilizing the physics and graphics systems of Unreal Engine 5, Seafarer: The Ship Sim offers a beautiful, open game world that invites exploration. Whether the detailed ship models, busy harbors or mighty oil rigs - there is always something to discover on the sea routes. And thanks to the interactive wave simulation of NVIDIA WaveWorks 2.0, voyages in Seafarer: The Ship Sim feel more realistic than ever before.
Key Features:
- The open sea: Players can expect an expansive map inspired by northern European landscapes that invites exploration.
- Varied career: Different factions offer different missions, each with their own gameplay elements. Explore the extensive world, load valuable cargo or help ships in distress.
- Take the helm: From small tugboats to gigantic freighters, players navigate a variety of ships through the rough seas.
- Tasks and duties: Checking machinery, operating cranes and using water cannons - there is always something to do on your own ship.
- Experience the waves: Unreal Engine 5 and NVIDIA WaveWorks 2.0 offer stunning visuals and realistic wave simulations.
- No two journeys are the same: The sandbox gameplay with dynamic weather, realistic day/night changes and the character editor ensure a constantly individualized gaming experience.
