Eight Bells

Naval roguelike on PC

Eight Bells is a real-time-with-pause naval roguelike for PC. You play a young Navy officer with one ship and a list of wanted pirate captains to hunt across five regions, from the Crown Waters to the Cursed Fog. You start as an Ensign and earn promotions by collecting bounties. If your ship is lost, your career ends.

Ship-to-ship combat

Both ships are divided into rooms, and you assign crew to jobs such as manning the guns, working the rigging, pumping water, or treating the wounded. Before a fight, you compete for range and choose whether to engage from a distance, close in for a broadside, or send a boarding party across by rowboat.
