Tempest
Tempest is a naval-themed RPG that puts you in command of a pirate vessel, focusing on ship-to-ship battles, trading between ports, and upgrading your rig to survive increasingly dangerous waters. It leans heavily into tactical sailing and cannon exchanges, with enough questing and faction flavor to frame your voyages, plus the occasional boss-like encounter against sea monsters that can end a run quickly if you get careless.
