Official cinematic trailer

The Fall of the Seven Seas

The Fall of the Seven Seas is the cinematic that opens the world of Ship Busters: how the seas were drowned, and why the captains who sailed out never came back. Watch it before you raise your own sails.

Destruction is the game

Every ship has a weak spot

Most games give a ship a health bar. Ship Busters gives her a hull, planks, masts, sails, guns and a powder magazine, each one destructible on its own. Where you hit matters more than how hard.

The Broadside. Your guns reload on their own clocks. Fire them one at a time and you chip away at her. Hold your fire, let every gun come ready, and loose the whole flank in a single volley that caves a hull in. Knowing when to hold and when to fire is the game.

Eight ways to ruin a ship

  • Round shotHonest damage, straight through timber.
  • GrapeSpreads wide and strips a deck clean.
  • ChainTears through canvas. Rip her sails and she stops running.
  • HotshotLodges and burns, and the fire spreads.
  • MortarArcs high over the rail and cracks the deck from above.
  • Piercing shotPunches through and carries on to the next section.
  • HarpoonsBite, hold, and rip a whole section away.
  • Stuck bombsCling to the hull and go off on their own time.

Find the magazine with any of them and the fire runs cell to cell until the whole ship comes apart.

The fleet

21 ships to command

From the starter Sloop to the Black Hammer, every hull has her own shape, her own guns and, on all but two, her own signature special. Earn them in the campaign, on the Voyage and in the Daily Plunder, or take one home from the Shop.

The campaign

Seven seas, 49 battles, seven captains

Each sea has its own waters, its own enemy classes and its own way of trying to sink you. Battles one to six each drop a piece of that sea's gear set, one for every slot. Battle seven is the sea's captain, and the best prize in the sea. Each sea opens when you clear the one before it, and the crew have something to say when you arrive and when the captain goes down.

NormalHardBrutalNightmare · coming later

Clear Normal to open Hard, and Hard to open Brutal. Every win is graded from one to three stars, with a bonus point for landing a special, and those points climb a mastery track that pays silver, gear and ships.

Learn more ›

At launch you can play Campaign and Arena. Coming soon: Gauntlet, Daily Challenge and Dungeons, plus The Clam, a fleet boss with one pearl worth the losing.

Campaign At launch

Forty-nine battles across seven seas, seven to a sea, from the Coral Shallows to the Tempest Wastes. Each sea has its own waters, its own enemy classes and its own way of trying to sink you. Battles one to six of a sea each drop a piece of its gear set, one for every slot, so finishing a sea assembles the full set. Battle seven is the sea's captain.

Hard unlocks once you clear Normal, and Brutal once you clear Hard. Every win is graded in stars, and stars feed a mastery track that pays silver, gear and two ships: the White Pearl and, at the top, the Christian Radich. Clear the whole campaign on Hard and the Inferno is yours.

Dungeons Coming soon

A separate, run-based mode with its own encounters and its own rewards, sailing charted waters of their own: the Siren Shallows, the Kraken Maelstrom and the Leviathan Deep.

Dungeons are the only waters where the Legendary Sirensong, Maelstrom and Bonecage sets are found. The mode is coming soon.

Arena At launch

Live one-on-one duels against a real captain. Open a room, share the code, and whoever enters it is your opponent. Both captains ready up, the countdown runs, and the sky you fight under is drawn from the room itself. Hot-seat on one device is there for practice too.

Duels are stake-free. No purse, no ranking, no energy cost, and no fleet bonus follows you in. The only thing on the line is pride. Multiplayer is the newest part of the game and the part most likely to keep changing after launch, as balance and content are updated.

Gauntlet Coming soon

The endless wave mode, coming soon. One ship against the endless fleet: the Gauntlet will throw wave after wave at you until you break, and your best run will be the number to beat.

Daily Challenge Coming soon

Coming soon: every captain in the world will get the same fight on the same seed. The only variable will be you.
The shipyard

Twelve sets. Six pieces each.

Cannon, hull, sail, mast, ram and keel: mix pieces for the stats you want, or run a full set for the bonus. Speed, hull strength, raw damage, dodge, ambush damage. Build a gunline that holds the range, or a hunter that closes fast and hits first.

CannonHullSailMastRamKeel

Your fitted cannon even decides who mans your stations: fit a set's cannon and that set's crew appear at every station. Build the ship, and the ship builds the crew.

Ships and gear come from fighting well and from showing up. In-game purchases are optional: nothing sold in the shop is needed to finish the campaign or win a duel.

Daily Plunder

Seven daily claims. Days one to six assemble a full 3★ Reefrunner set, and day seven is a ship: the Lightning Jewel.

The Lightning Jewel

The Voyage

One long journey in five legs, counted in days you log in, not days in a row, so missing one never costs you. Each leg is thirty slots of silver, energy and gear, with a ship at the end.

Steam achievements

Sink your first ship, touch off a magazine, fire a signature special, conquer every sea, clear the campaign on each difficulty and grow your fleet. Achievements track it all on Steam.

Gold, on the INVO network

Real currency that can leave the game

Gold is Ship Busters' premium currency, and it is real INVO currency from Invo Tech Inc., the developer of Ship Busters and the company behind INVO. Buy it, spend it in the shop, or send it on: to another captain, or to another supported INVO game.

1

Buy it

Gold is sold in the in-game shop at INVO's fixed rate of 10 gold to the dollar, the same rate on every game on the network, so gold never meets a conversion when it moves. Spend it on energy, silver, crates and packs. Gold is the one thing sold for cash, and the game never hands it out as a reward.

2

Send it

Pick where it goes: a captain in Ship Busters, or another supported INVO game, where it arrives as that game's currency. Moving your own gold to your own account in another supported INVO game is fine. Transfers route on the recipient's phone number, and nothing moves until you approve with your passkey.

3

Collect it

Sent gold waits safely with INVO until the recipient collects it with their own passkey. The Activity tab shows what needs approving, what is on the way and what is done, so gold that has been sent never looks lost.

✓

On Steam too

Buying and transferring gold work in the Steam build for Windows and Mac. On desktop you approve a transfer with a QR code and the passkey on your phone. The Next Fest demo has no shop, purchases or transfers.
