The game

Pirate Twist puts you in command of a modular sailing ship on the wrong side of a hostile coastline. Every expedition is a one-way push into unfamiliar water — fight, trade, salvage, then survive the run back to port before the storm catches up.

Your ship is a grid. Each cell is a module — guns, sails, repair bays, cargo holds. Lose a slot to cannon fire and you lose the system that sat in it. What you bring back upgrades what goes out next. What you don't, doesn't.

Key features

• Modular ship building. Hand-placed slots. Real trade-offs. Every loadout reads differently in combat.
• Expedition-based runs. Push deep, decide when to turn back. Bring home enough to upgrade — or don't make it home.
• Tight top-down combat. Broadsides, ramming, pursuit, weather you have to read. Frame-by-frame readable, scaled to skill.
• Port negotiation. Stock and prices respond to your reputation and the routes you've already burned.
• Persistent meta-progression. Lose a captain, lose her bonuses. Recruit replacements with their own kit and their own grievances.

Status
