Description
*** NOTE: Requires a high-performance device, such as NVIDIA SHIELD. Run the Windward: Performance Test (free app) to check your device's performance before buying the game.
Designed from the start to be a fully procedural co-op game, Windward can be played by yourself, but it truly comes alive when playing with friends. Start by generating a procedural world that will be unique to you, design your own custom faction then sail forward fighting pirates, trading with towns, doing quests or simply exploring -- it's up to you how you want to play.
As you sail about you will find resources you can make use of, upgrades for your ship, new towns that will ask your assistance, and as you get farther out from the starting area -- various pirates that will attempt to take what's rightfully yours. Combat experience will let you unlock new talents and abilities to make that particular line of work easier.
As you take up consignments with towns and fulfill their production shortages, the towns will grow, offering more quests, more resources and better items. As the towns continue to grow they will offer you a choice to upgrade your ship itself. Would you prefer a fast Schooner to explore the world, or a heavy Galleon that's able to take up 5 consignments at once? Or perhaps a massive Ship of the Line to take the fight with the pirates to their heartlands?
As you explore the world and get farther away from your starting area, the game will become progressively more difficult -- but so will the rewards. Throughout all of this you can expect the pirates to put up a fair fight, as the AI is bound by the same rules as the player: they have sight, and must explore the map before they can know what's there.
Speaking of AI, build a fearsome reputation and the AI will respect you, even fear you -- avoiding you if at all possible. Some friendly AI will even choose to follow you and assist you in your own adventures.
And so, on the topic of adventures -- ready to have yours?

Please! Game is great on my shield tablet, but frustrating to play on my shield Android TV... Please make a TV border option (like bombsquad, and others) so I can read the options I'm choosing and actually see the menu on the side of the screen when playing. 5 stars for that small option.

This game is gorgeous on the Nvidia Shield K1 tablet. I am able to run the game with all of the highest graphics settings with no issues whatsoever (aside from the tablet getting a bit warm, which is to be expected). The gameplay itself is highly addictive. I'd never played this game before, so being immediately thrown into all the startup options with no explanation was a bit confusing (I ended up starting a whole new game set up differently after reading an online tutorial/walkthrough), but now I'm having a blast. The only big thing I'd change is the fact that, to my knowledge, there's no way to manage many of the "right click" options using a controller. Things like seeing on the map which cities buy or need what, hiring or bribing AI ships, etc. This needs to be added to the controller abilities to make the port complete. Still, a very solid, enjoyable game. Kudos to the devs for bringing it to Android!

Awesome game s6 Awesome game many,many hours of fun. Works great on galaxy S6 the enlarge ui button doesn't seem to work so the ui is a bit on the small side it being a tablet game.

★★☆☆☆
Terrible on Android TV I bought this to play on my shield TV. The interface is terrible for non touch controls and the text is so small it's unreadable. Pass on this one if you are playing on Android TV.
