Hey folks, I'm happy to announce Cursed Crew 0.20. I always felt that a key weak point of the game is how brutal and abrupt your playthrough could end, often due to bad RNG (for instance multiple cannonballs hitting your captain). Also the difficulty spike when you encounter the Sea Witch is too high. This update aims to solve these issues, and many more. Here's a list of changes/additions. Maj…
Hey folks, we're happy to announce another major update for Cursed Crew! Read the full change log below. Some highlights are the new creatures, a research bench and a couple of new cannons and a ton of stability/balance improvements. There's still a long road ahead, but I think it's a step in the right direction. We will continue working on updates, but admittedly, the process is not as fast as…

I’m extremely happy and grateful that a lot of people purchased, supported us, played the game, and that we received…
I had a holiday break, but I'm back now and I'm starting work on the next major update. Before fully committing to that I wanted a couple of fixes out so hence this patch.

This update addresses a lot of player feedback and many bug reports we received. It should drastically improve the game's stability and also a provide more balanced experience. We'll work on at least one more smaller update like this one to ensure the game is a stable and smooth as we can get it before before we start working on larger content additions. Changes/Additions · Increased max hull o…
This update contains a bunch of fixes and tweaks. Moreover, it adds right click attacking as an addition option for melee combat. We noticed many new players have trouble figuring out how to melee attack. Right clicking to attack should be more intuitive if you're still getting used to the game and it also offers a bit more control if you want to attack a specific enemy. It also helps the playe…
This patch addresses issues with the 'hold ground' captain command. Fixed: - Hold ground command button not updating properly. - Issues with ordering crewmembers that have hold ground mode active. - Crewmembers not throwing boarding hooks while hold ground command is active.
