What's new?

In addition to other game improvements and bug fixes, we began placing traps in locations in order to improve the mechanics of Drakkar Crew and make locations more interesting.

How do you feel about such traps?

Perpetuate yourself in the game



Dear players! As you know the game is under active development, and your recommendations would greatly help in finalizing the mechanics you like. Would you like to write a small review in which you note the most successful sides of the game and your recommendations for their improvement in your opinion. From our side as a reward for your help we offer to place statues with your nicknames in different locations of the game. The statues will have small but pleasant buffs that can be used in the gameplay.
If you are interested, then proceed as follows:

  1. Post a review with your suggestions.
  2. Launch a special statue constructor program and select the type of your statue. Generate the code and write it to us in a personal message from the Steam profile that published the review.
    Send messages
    • to https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198985465836
    • or https://steamcommunity.com/app/879050/discussions/0/3883850599437263359
    In the letter you can specify the nickname of your statue if it differs from the profile name.

  3. In one of the next updates a statue with your design and nickname will be added which will be mentioned in the description of the update with the place of the statue.


Attention! The developers themselves determine the locations, placements and buffs of the statues. If the nickname or review contains inappropriate or unreliable information, then we may ask you to change it before placing the statue. The offer is valid until there are too many statues for our locations).
