DEADEYE is a top-down pixel pirate sandbox. You wake on the docks of Port Royale with a cutlass, an axe, a fishing rod and a few coins. What happens next is up to you: honest trader, bounty hunter, island lord, or the most wanted name on the server.

Real ships, real decks

• 30 hulls, from a log raft to ships of the line. Walk the hold, the gun deck and the quarterdeck while your crew works the guns.

• Wind, sails and momentum are simulated on the server. Cannonballs punch holes, holes let in the sea, and a flooded ship goes down.

• Load chain, grape, explosive, fire or cursed shot. Throw a grapple, cut down the crew and take the wheel.

• Cutlasses, spears, tridents, pistols, muskets, blunderbusses, hand cannons and harpoon guns across 16 material tiers.

• Parry, dodge-roll, backstab and land three-hit finishers.

• Hunt legendary beasts, summon island bosses, and face the Kraken and the Leviathan far out at sea.

Build, claim and survive

• Plant a claim flag on a wild island, raise walls of wood, stone or metal, and grow your outpost into a stronghold.

• Farm, fish, dive for pearl beds, explore caves, and bury your treasure where only you can find it.

• More than 1,000 items and 770 recipes to find, buy, loot and craft.

Trade and rule the seas

• 15 ports, each with its own shops and prices that drift with supply and demand.

• Six factions with long memories: the Navy, the Merchants' Guild, the Island Tribes, the Brotherhood, the Armada and the Smugglers' Ring.

• Found a guild, lay siege to a port, and take a cut of every sale in its shops.

• The Compass skill tree: 377 steps across eight branches. Not enough points to learn them all.
