Trim the sails and roam the sea.

<span class="bold">Tempest</span>, an open-world action-RPG about plundering the seven seas with your battleship, is now available for Windows and Mac, DRM-free on GOG.com, with GOG Galaxy support for achievements and a 33% launch discount.

It's easy to romanticize the pirate's life: quests for legendary (also occasionally cursed) treasure, unrestrained killing and debauchery, unapologetically bad hygiene, the promise of endless adventure. But to indulge into all this, you must first tame the sea, which is nothing if not a cruel, demanding mistress.
Start by getting yourself a worthy vessel. Take good care of it, upgrade it, then roam the ocean, visit dozens of islands, and undertake dangerous quests. In your journeys you will do battle with enemy warships, sink galleons, and even lay siege to impenetrable forts. Stay vigilant, for giant monsters also lurk these waters, waiting to drag you down into Davy Jones' locker. But take heart, captain! You are armed with more than mere cannonballs: you have flamethrowers, mortars, mystical crystals that grant you the power to bring down meteorites or summon terrible beasts on your enemies. And of course the greatest weapon of all: your salty grit.

Grind your black teeth, grab the steering wheel, and get ready to face the <span class="bold">Tempest</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com. For some epic music that will keep you in a sailing mood even when not playing, don't forget to grab the game's <span class="bold">Soundtrack</span>.
The 33% discount will last until December 11, 10:59 PM UTC.

Looks interesting. But how good is the Singleplayer part?
Are system requirments really that low? Game looks interesting and my son loves pirate themed games but XP, 2GB RAM and hardware accelerated GFX ?....

Finally someone who gets it!

It always bothers me that Midsummer Nights Dream gets all the love when The Tempest is 1,000 times better of a "lost in a mystical woods" story!
Wow, an action RPG with ships (no fiugres at all)? Pimp you pirate ship?
So it has an build-in tunning for ships? ;)

Looks interesting.
Does this game work with keyboard+mouse or does it use a controller?

I'm trying to come up with something funny and clever involving the sea, ships, hydraulics and the like; but I just can't manage it. So I'll just toss out the pieces of my pun and let someone else do the work.
Found this somewhat informative review from about 3 months ago. Definitely interested in the game, but seems like it may still have some balancing and gameplay issues to fine tune perhaps. Wishlisted, and will be following up by seeing what future reviews reveal.
