Rogue Waters - Available now!2024-10-02Tripwire Presents and Ice Code Games would like to invite you aboard a pirate ship! Our new game, Rogue Waters, is available now! It's a roguelite melee tactical focused on faster battles in more compact arenas. A dynamic combat system and environmental interactions on the treacherous decks of boarded ships make for exciting and challenging battles. The roguelite approach allows for shorter or longer raids, unlocking content or just focusing on the (addictively fun!) battles. If commanding sea monsters, exploring a fantasy world devastated by an ancient curse and battling through ships, forts, islands and more sounds fun, we would be honored
