Pirates of Gravitae

What happens when you put a jet engine on a pirate ship? Well, in the real world, it would spell certain doom, but in the upcoming roguelite Pirates of Gravitae, it leads to flying pirate ships that zip around the sky like rockets.

Today, developer and publisher Innerverse Games announced that Pirates of Gravitae will be launching in Early Access on March 31, 2022, for the low, low price of $9.99. Plus, there will be a 10% discount at release, saving you a hard-earned buck.

The game initially started as a personal project by Taylan Kadayifcioglu that was designed to entertain his children. In 2021, Kadayifcioglu was laid off (a very familiar story in 2020 and 2021) and decided to form Innerverse and turn his prototype into a full-fledged game. As it turns out, that process bore fruit, and the world will get a taste of that fruit in March.

Here’s a list of features from the game’s official website:

  • Physics-based dogfighting action against challenging AI enemies
  • 2D action presented in vibrant 3D with dynamic camera views
  • Run based campaign with persistent unlocks and upgrades
  • Variety of collectible perks allowing different ‘builds’ for each run
  • Variable time of day, weather and flight conditions
  • Different mission types
  • Choose your captain from a crew of eight, each with their own unique perks (planned)
  • Story mode with a diverse set of characters (planned)

And here’s a more robust list from a recent press release:

  • Run based campaign where every defeat gets you closer to final victory, with persistent ability unlocks and upgrades across runs
  • Combine up to three from 13 different weapons, defensive measures, and maneuvers (more coming) to find your optimal load-out
  • Equip your sailors with over 60 different randomized loot items, allowing different ‘builds’ for each run (more coming)
  • Train your crew for persistent stat upgrades across 8 different stats for your ship
  • Optimize your build to suit your play style: high or low altitude, day or night encounters, strong winds or clear skies. It all makes a difference.
  • Raid treasure galleons, bombard forts from above, dominate the skies
