About Breakwaters: Crystal Tides
Explore a procedural world with dangerous ocean depths and massive Titans in an Exploration Survival game that changes the way you interact with water.
Displace water with powerful crystals harvested from the world, delve into its depths to collect rare resources, build walls to contain the ocean or block the waves, and help the people rebuild from the constant destruction. Titans, artifacts from a dead civilization beneath the waves, roam the world causing destruction. Survive with what you can harvest from the land, trade with passing fishermen or at ports, and voyage across the world through deadly storms to find new adventures.
\
There are multiple types of Titans in the world. The most well known are the Turtle Titan, the Serpent Titan, and the Crab Titan.
The water in Breakwaters isn't just there to make waves. You can directly interact with it by crafting Refined Crystal items and building stone walls. Delve into its depths to find rare resources, build a wall to protect your home, or create a holding tank of water to supply your water pumps and power your contraptions.
There is over 360 sq kilometers of simulated ocean to explore, filled with unique places, strange creatures, and quirky people to meet.

There are multiple types of Titans in the world. The most well known are the Turtle Titan, the Serpent Titan, and the Crab Titan.
- The Turtle Titan is difficult to damage and has a deadly range attacked. It roams the ocean causes massive waves that wash over islands and carry away anything in their path.
- The Serpent Titan likes to roam near storms and causes large typhoons which suck anything up into the air. Since it often swims below water, it can be difficult to attack.
- Little is known about the Crab Titan other than its not afraid to walk up onto dry land to attack humans and buildings directly. How do you even stop something the size of an island with 8 legs and made of ancient stone?

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Stuck in Early Access limbo. This game was released in Early Access back in 2021. It is now 2026, and it is still in the exact same state. The game has massive potential as an open-world survival title, but unfortunately, the developers seem to have gone silent. The last minor update was released in 2025, and it has been over 6 months since we’ve heard any news or updates from the team. Because of this lack of communication and progress, I cannot recommend the game to anyone right now. I will check back on it later, and if the situation improves, I will gladly update my review2 found this helpful
5years and still early access. So dissapoint !2 found this helpful
Purchased this game with all the hope in the world, but it was just unplayable, even though my computer is fairly decent specs - the main issue was that the water graphics were far too overspec'd and not worth it - there are just as good water mechanics in other games, and they are at least playable. Very disappointed and made this known to the creator, as it limits who can actually play this game, and for what, water that is supposed to be the most realistic - that is not sustainable. It would have been better focusing on gameplay and content rather than overspec'd graphics that render the game unplayable for most people.
think its dead guys dont bother
I doubt this game ever gets finished. If it does, the developer will probably do another small update and stamp the 1.0 flag on it.
Early access with no significant updates for over a year (and no updates at all for over half a year). So it seems abandoned, I'd avoid unless things change.
