Golden Tides

Overview

Golden Tides is a pirate-themed adventure MOBA where you and three friends fight intense PvP battles —  on land and sea — against other teams to hunt for buried treasure. Engage in skill-based combat across dynamic terrains, thrilling ship battles, and experience a unique adventure every time you set sail.

Gameplay

Team up with three of yer hearties, choose from a growing cast of pirates with unique playstyles and personalities, and set sail in 20–25 minute matches in search of the ultimate treasure. Raid and ransack enemies, level up your heroes, and pick the perfect moment to clash with rival crews — on land or at sea. Only the cleverest crew will survive to claim the final treasure. The rest… will tell no tales.

As players progress, forming a crew becomes essential. Crewmates must strategize and navigate treacherous waters, facing off against dangerous NPCs and rival players alike. Defeat comes with real consequences — you might lose items or NFTs from your inventory. But victory brings spoils fairly split among the crew, making every win rewarding and every match a high-stakes adventure. Here’s more on what Golden Tides is offering to all ye pirates out there:

• A MOBA With More: The deep, evolving, skill-based gameplay found in the greatest MOBAs, paired with mechanics that actually move the genre forward — like our open world gameplay, ship-to-ship combat, and verticality.
• Every Match Is Unique - Really: Rigid metas can walk the plank. Golden Tides’ unique match structure, open world gameplay, and multi-team PvPvE dynamic means your crew can win on your terms — and every adventure brings new twists and turns.
• Sail the High (Fantasy) Seas: Golden Tides brings together the universal charm of pirates and the imaginative scope of fantasy storytelling to imagine a world filled with drama, adventure and personality (and dragons, and wizards, and magic, and plundering!). We’re starting with a game — but we’ve got big dreams for a big world.
• A Dynamic, Living World: Each match takes place in a massive open world with dynamic events, taking the endless replayability of MOBAs to a ludicrous level — plus, with constant updates, special events, and more game modes in the works, there’s always something new happening in Golden Tides.

• Own Your Treasure - Forever: Players who want the freedom to own and trade the content they unlock have the option to do so — without the sketchy, greedy hijinks some web3 projects have been notorious for.
