My very first naval combat game was “Pirates!” for the NES, I remember it well. Nothing was more satisfying than setting a course with the wind and watching your Sloop shoot holes into the enemy ship. Having played “Sid Meier’s Pirates!” and wanting more, I came across “Windward”, which promised fast-paced naval action…something I’ve been yearning for as of late. I found myself once again behind the wheel, ready to ruin someone’s day with a well-timed broadside. Before we begin sailing the high seas, I’d like to thank Michael Lyashenko for providing me with a free preview copy. It’s important to note that this game is currently in the Beta, which means that the game is not finished yet. Any features you may see in this article are subject to change.
