This game is an absolute blast to play! The controls strike the perfect balance, as they are complex enough to keep things interesting, but intuitive once you get the hang of it (LOVE how you need to actively switch between boats). I love the variety of maps. The sheer amount of game strategies you can do make this game quite impressive and really adds to the replay value. On top of all that, the music and audio are fabulous and set the perfect mood, and the artwork is simply beautiful. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun and engaging game to play with your friends! EXTREMELY beginner friendly. I can't wait to form a team of friends and see how we can conquer the WYRD WATERS!! :)

About This Game
Set sail in Wyrd Waters, a tactical online multiplayer naval experience where strategy meets mythological chaos! Build custom fleets of fantastical Anglo-Saxon-inspired ships, each with their own quirks and playstyles. Strategize, cooperate or betray your friends, and face off across multiple rounds to determine the true victor!
WHAT TO EXPECT!
Gather your Crew - Wyrd Waters is built for 2–8 players, so when that sixth friend hops on the call, you'd better have your fleet ready! Mac, Linux, and Steam Deck users? You're covered too.
Build Your Fleet – Choose from 9 uniquely fantastical ships. Get close enough for RAMming or channel the thunder of Thor and pray you don't blow yourself up. There's a ship for your style.
Learn Your Strategy – More isn't always better. Every ship is controlled individually! Will you command an armada or master one deadly vessel?
Explore the Maps – Battle across 6 varied maps, each with unique layouts, hazards, and secrets. Keep your eyes on the Fog of War and the kraken beneath it.
Fight for Survival – Time your cooldowns, line up your shot, or hide. Only one sailor walks away.
Progress with Runes – Spend the spoils of victory to unlock new ships, maps, and skins. Your style, your fleet, your legend.

Fabulous indie game that I would highly recommend if you're looking for a party game that is quick and fun to play with friends! The gameplay is simple and intuitive, but surprisingly diverse in playstyle. Game rounds are quickfire, so don't get stale and offer a great deal of chaotic fun! The multiplayer works seamlessly. I experienced no lag, delayed starts to games or any disconnects at all. For less than £2 this is a bargain worth trying!! P.S... arrow ship is the goat!
Neat little game with rounds of naval tactics with multiplayer. Straightforward to get the hang of. Quick bit of fun!
This is a super fun game with great art and surprisingly tactical game play. Really good at the $2 price point.
I loved all the different types of ships and being able to choose how many you can have in your fleet and control at once. It really makes you think and strategise and see what the best was is to take out other players! It gets super fun and crazy very quick!! Highly reccommend to play with your friends!
Surprisingly fun! Not a big fan of these types of games but been playing a lot of the demo with friends, Can’t wait to play more! this would go crazy in ICT class!
Wyrd Waters is a blast, easy to pick up, hard to master. Swapping between ships mid-match adds a fun tactical twist, and the range of strategies keeps every game fresh. Perfect for playing with friends!
Great little co-op banger, bring friends for ship themed shenanigans. And what a bargain!
Fun little ship combat game. 2 buckaroos well spent.
