About this game
Remember the sandy beaches, the cool ocean air, and the carefree thrill of jet ski racing? Wavecraft Legends takes you back.
Wavecraft Legends combines modern physics-based gameplay, rich narrative and character development, and the soul of classic arcade racing. Outpace legendary rivals and rise through the ranks in a challenging campaign where the ocean itself can be your greatest opponent. Succeed and unlock new playable characters, outfits, tracks, and gameplay customization features.
But finishing on the podium will take more than overtaking your opponents. Just as you think you have someone beat on the last turn, a 3-foot swell sideswipes your watercraft and sends you careening offtrack. Your miscalculation: the water is not a friend. Each wave, wake, and ripple can change the course of a race.
Whether you're chasing the single player Story Campaign to its conclusion, unlocking rewards in Challenge Mode, setting personal bests in Time Trials, or simply soaking in the scenery in Spectator Mode, there's always another reason to get back on the water.
Features:
Diverse Game Modes: Story Campaign, Single Race, Time Trials, Challenge Mode, and Spectator Mode. You'll have plenty to do, and different ways to soak up the sea.
A compelling narrative: Family, legacy, loss, and redemption. These are just a few of the themes running through the Story Campaign. Sometimes, your racing results will even influence the story you experience via the visual novel-inspired dialogue sequences.
A Dynamic Cast: Choose from 8 unique characters with rich backstories and full soft-body physics.
Race Around the World: Conquer over 15 tracks set across 5 breathtaking event locations.
Unlockable cosmetic Items: Win races and challenges to unlock alternate outfits and watercraft paint designs.
Stunning Visuals: Race through scenic venues like tropical islands, arctic waterways, and even a theme park!
Total Control: Customize your experience with adjustable weather, time-of-day, wave intensity, and difficulty settings.
Strategic Racing: Master the racing line or hunt for "Wind Zones" for a speed boost—but stay sharp, missing buoys or checkpoints will set you back!
Living Water: With physics-based wave simulation, the ocean is your greatest ally and your fiercest rival. Master the art of the waves and become a Wavecraft legend!
Come join us on the waves!

We're launching a Kickstarter! Big backer discounts coming👀
Greetings everyone!Before the big news—a huge thank you to everyone who downloaded the demo and left feedback. Seeing it hit Steam's "New & Trending" list was a great moment for us. Keep the comments coming on our dedicated Steam discussion page or at hello@polygonmyth.com.Kickstarter IncomingSo, you're probably asking: another indie game Kickstarter? In a sea of indie game pitches, we believe Wavecraft Legends stands out because it fills a void for a fun, thrilling arcade aquatic racer with a retro soul. But, beyond just pitching a concept, we've worked hard to build a great foundation for an actual game. No empty promises—a real, tangible piece of work you can try for yourself today. We've dedicated nearly a year to build all the major racing systems and mechanics, including:the water/wave physicscompetitive AI opponentsunique driving profiles for each characterracing regulations and penaltiesfloating buoys and obstaclesbreakable objectsweather and wave conditions that directly impact racingAs a result, we are confident that the core gameplay is in a playable, stable, and fun state. This is where Kickstarter comes in. With all this in place, we're hoping to find a greater community of people who are interested in this project so we can continue with confidence that there's an audience for the game and some additional financial backing to help us cross the finish line. Plus, this is also a way we can reward early adopters—by giving them goodies (like a 30% discount!) that are exclusive to the campaign.So, if you wish to support the project now or would like to check it again when it launches, be sure to hit the "Notify" button on our Kickstarter pre-launch page.Looking forward to seeing you on the waves!Read full article on Community Announcements (Polygon Myth)AnnouncementsOfficial
