Pirate Rush
SteamPirate Rush is a strategy game where you have to throw the invaders out of your homeland with an auto-battler system. Each of your islands has been captured, your valuable assets and relics have been seized, and those who resist have been taken prisoner. As the strongest pirate captain, it is up to you to save each island and restore freedom to your people. As you reach freedom step by step, Rescue prisoners along the way, recruit them into your crew, and make the invaders regret it.

There are many islands to liberate and each offering unique battles and challenges. You can free the islands one by one and reach the enemy's base. However, liberating every island comes with its own rewards, giving you every reason to reclaim them all.

Discover unique soldiers and equipment to build the strongest crew. Each battle is unique and presents a different challenge, and with the right crew selection, you can defeat the enemy more easily.

Increase your glory and level up throughout the battle. With each new level of glory, you can promote your crew, increase the number of men you can call upon, and gain more resources.

Improve your crew's skills using the rum you capture to gain an advantage over your enemies. You can upgrade multiple features of your crew, such as attack power, speed, and health.

It is possible to add new members to your team using the skulls you collect. After each battle, skulls allow you to recruit random new members to strengthen your team.
