Part the seas when Breakwaters comes to Steam

by: Elliot -
More On: Breakwaters

Breakwaters is an island-hopping survival adventure set in an ever-changing oceanic world. It’s also your job to calm the storms and defeat the titans of the seas. Originally announced via Kickstarter earlier this year, Breakwaters was funded in just three and a half hours.

  • Some of the features developer Soaring Pixels are planning on including are:
    Boats. The type of vessel you build plays a key part in your play style, and you’ll need to be strategic when considering the best vehicle.
  • Boat Contraptions. You must think carefully about what contraptions you’ll equip on your boat and how you’ll use them. Some contraptions include fog lights, armor, ballista, sails, motors, and more!
  • Online Co-Op. While the single-player experience is compelling, exploring the 350+ square kilometer open world is more fun with friends. Work together to build a home base, team up to tackle a Titan or just walk the shoreline and take in the view
  • Pumps and Pipes. This feature set allows you to create plumbing systems that can drain bodies of water to reveal resources and pump water into structures for storage. 
    Crystals. Powerful crystals hidden in the world around you can help you create water where none existed, repel the ocean to harvest resources, attract water to a contained area and more.
  • Floating Docks. Use the floating dock feature to build your dream overwater bungalow! 
  • Flexible Farming. Whether you need to build a vegetable farm on a steep hillside, or you want to spruce up your place with some potted plants, the ability is there.


“The game is designed for three different types of players: Homesteaders, Explorers, and Adventurers. This means players enjoy many different play styles, such as building, farming, combat/action, adventure and more. There’s something for everyone—casual players who enjoy life-sims can chill on the beach to harvest resources, while players who crave action and adventure can battle massive Titans that plague an otherwise peaceful world.” 
Breakwaters is set to launch this year on Steam, followed by console platforms at a later date. No specific consoles have been mentioned yet.
