Game Overview
Dread Admiral is a turn-based naval roguelite where you command a growing fleet across a dangerous archipelago. Build your forces, defend your Flagship, and prepare for battles against the Black Fleet.
Take on tactical missions, manage your ships carefully, and collect resources to strengthen your fleet. Every loss matters, as destroyed vessels can be permanently lost during the campaign.
Earn ranks, unlock new perks and technologies, and improve your Flagship as you progress. Adapt to changing missions and enemy tactics as you work toward defeating the Dread Admiral himself.

The game won't launch — what should I try?
Try running in compatibility mode, install the latest DirectX runtime, or install the All-in-One VC Redist Package.
My antivirus is blocking the game — is it safe?
Antivirus false positives are common with pre-installed games. Temporarily pause your antivirus during extraction to prevent it from quarantining game files. You can re-enable it after the extraction completes.
