About Pirate Twist

Pirate Twist is a game tagged Action, Strategy and Action Roguelike by BTG Labs, released Jul 15, 2026. It has 13 Steam reviews (Positive). The Steam games most like it include Maelslime, The Champions of Lootheim and Plunderfall.

Steer to aim. In this top-down naval roguelite your broadside is the crosshair: swing it across a pirate's stern for double damage, read the shifting wind, and fit out one sloop gun by gun across three hostile seas. Come home richer, or don't come home at all.
