About the Game

Keelblade is a fantasy pirate RPG. Build your home aboard a pirate ship, and set sail across the islands. Play solo or with your friends as a crew (1-6 players).

Every pirate dreams of becoming a Keelblade: a name known across the islands, feared by enemies and remembered long after their sails disappear beyond the horizon.

Few ever become worthy of the title Keelblade. Fewer still live long enough to enjoy it.

Still think you have what it takes?

FIGHT LIKE YOU MEAN IT

Keelblade's soulslike combat system rewards learning your enemies, choosing your moment, and knowing when not to commit to one more attack.

Learn their attacks. Break their defenses. Dodge what you can't stop. Parry what you dare.

Build around the weapons, equipment, talents, and abilities that fit how you want to fight. Become the crew's unstoppable front line, or help keep your friends in the fight with a more support-oriented build.

PIRATE'S LIFE: BUILD A HOME YOU SAIL

Your ship isn't a base you leave behind when the adventure starts, it carries the adventure with you.

Build directly on its deck. Turn it into your crew's workshop, storage, kitchen, research space, shelter... or whatever questionable arrangement you decide counts as naval architecture.

As your journey grows, so does your ship.

SAIL FARTHER. FIND THE UNKNOWN.

Every expedition gives you another reason to push beyond familiar waters.

Bring back resources and discoveries. Research new possibilities, craft better equipment, develop your abilities, and experiment with new ways to fight.

A new weapon could complete your build. Research breakthroughs could open new ways to play.

BOSSES: SOME ISLANDS DON'T WANT VISITORS

The farther you venture, the more dangerous the islands become.

Across the world are monsters and legendary bosses. They will test your timing, positioning, and preparation. Combine weapons and abilities with your crew, and find the opening that turns a terrifying boss encounter into a victory.

Some bosses can be challenged again under harder Challenge Mode conditions for crews looking for an even greater fight.
