About This Game

Explore a procedural world with dangerous ocean depths and massive Titans in an Exploration Survival game that changes the way you interact with water.

Displace water with powerful crystals harvested from the world, delve into its depths to collect rare resources, build walls to contain the ocean or block the waves, and help the people rebuild from the constant destruction. Titans, artifacts from a dead civilization beneath the waves, roam the world causing destruction. Survive with what you can harvest from the land, trade with passing fishermen or at ports, and voyage across the world through deadly storms to find new adventures.

[Key Features]

  • Player Single player and Online co-op

  • Create: Mission worlds, Creative-Mode worlds, and Free-Survival worlds

  • Defeat Titans as large as an island and fight Golems as big as a house.

  • A Massive world scale ocean simulation where you can push the water back to gather treasures from below.

  • Build structures that interact with the ocean. Turn a valley into a lake or open the doors and flood the lowlands.

  • Gather crystals and refine them into items which displace and deform the ocean revealing rich resources below.

  • Craft items to suit your play style whether it be farmer, explorer, adventurer.

[Titan Lore]

There are multiple types of Titans in the world. The most well known are the Turtle Titan, the Serpent Titan, and the Crab Titan.

  • The Turtle Titan is difficult to damage and has a deadly range attacked. It roams the ocean causes massive waves that wash over islands and carry away anything in their path.

  • The Serpent Titan likes to roam near storms and causes large typhoons which suck anything up into the air. Since it often swims below water, it can be difficult to attack.

  • Little is known about the Crab Titan other than its not afraid to walk up onto dry land to attack humans and buildings directly. How do you even stop something the size of an island with 8 legs and made of ancient stone?

[The ocean sim]

The water in Breakwaters isn't just there to make waves. You can directly interact with it by crafting Refined Crystal items and building stone walls. Delve into its depths to find rare resources, build a wall to protect your home, or create a holding tank of water to supply your water pumps and power your contraptions.

There is over 360 sq kilometers of simulated ocean to explore, filled with unique places, strange creatures, and quirky people to meet.
