PIRATHES!

A thrilling multiplayer naval combat game that delivers exactly what we wanted when we asked for pirates! Command your own customizable ship in this vibrant low-poly battle arena where strategy and quick reflexes determine who rules the high seas. The upbeat, adventurous soundtrack perfectly complements the action as you navigate the waters, fire cannons at enemy vessels, and collect power-ups to gain the upper hand. We kept trying to use 'S' to backup our ship (obviously that doesn't work - ships don't reverse!), which led to some hilarious moments of frantically trying to escape enemy fire. With its intuitive controls, special abilities, and last-ship-standing gameplay, PIRATHES! offers an accessible yet deeply engaging multiplayer experience that will have you shouting 'Yarr!' as you sink your friends' ships.

About the Game

PIRATHES! is a multiplayer naval combat game that puts you in command of your own customizable pirate ship. Set in a vibrant low-poly world, you'll battle against other players and AI-controlled ships in a fight to be the last vessel floating. The game features an engaging "Ultimate Degen Battle" mode where strategy, positioning, and well-timed special attacks determine who rules the high seas.

What makes PIRATHES! stand out is its perfect balance of accessibility and depth. The controls are intuitive enough for anyone to pick up and play, but mastering the art of naval warfare requires skill and strategy. The game's upbeat soundtrack creates an adventurous atmosphere that perfectly complements the action-packed gameplay. And yes, we kept trying to use "S" to back up our ship (which obviously doesn't work - ships don't reverse!), leading to some hilarious moments of frantically trying to escape enemy fire.
