Pirate survival Windrose sees 500,000 mateys buy the game as Steam reviews are 'Very Positive'

Windrose pirate holding a long gun.

There are just about a gazillion games about ninjas, but shockingly far fewer about pirates. Swashbucklers deserve more attention if you ask me, and thankfully they seem to be getting it when it comes to the new survival game Windrose.

It's managed to shift half a million copies in the first two days, according to publisher Pocketpair (via GamesRadar), and the initial Steam reviews ain't lookin' half bad, either. It's sitting at an 87% Very Positive rating right now, and managing to snag just shy of 100,000 concurrent players within the first 24 hours. That's a number that has a good chance of going even higher over the weekend. And even if it doesn't, that's a mighty respectable number to come swinging out of the gate with.
