April 2025

Quite the hidden gem this game is. Its very addicting once you get into it, I will admit it took me some time to get involved due to other games but once I gave it a full chance it won me over. Lots of quality things in it from the art styles to land battles. Pros: - Amazing art styles - Very optimized - Sail around the world - Treasure, shipwrecks to exploring new areas - Crafting system, want a new boat? Craft a random one with random mats - Land exploration - Find new heroes all over and level them up, equip them how you want aswell - Very addicting - Upgrade the ports you want, where you want - Combat is fun once you get the hang of it - Lots more Cons: - Can't create your own charc/mercs This game is worth full price, but if not consider getting it on-sale, I have not gotten the DLC as of yet, as I would like to fully beat the base game before trying that on a new campaign. There is lots of playable starts around the world, I do wish you could create your own and pick where you want to start, would be awesome but I understand. Try it out, refund if not your style. 8.5/10

Long overdue endorsement of an awesome gem of a game! It's super pleasant game that's an improvement on the Sid Meier's Pirates! formula, with actual storyline (different for each main character), tons of unique characters and events. Great variety of activities to pursue: from trading, trade guild expansion, collecting ships to exploration, inland expeditions and all shades of ship combat, like pirate hunting or becoming one. You can assemble quite a crew of varied characters - each with their own events and ministories - that you can develop RPG style and assign as crew or officers on the ships. I have not encountered any bugs that I can remember; the translation sometimes does not convey the nuances of events (mostly Asia region) but overall it's decent. DLC can be safely bought after you got a good taste of the game.

Really nice game. If played a lot of games about pirates/trading - may not look that fresh. Would give a chance with new playthrough, but there are not much non-discovered quests left

Sid Meiers Pirates! meets JRPG, instead of just sailing the Carribbean during the golden age of piracy. You sail the world during the age of exploration with a group of distinct characters all with different ambitions, crew and skills. Throw a little more world building into the mix , instead of sailing to a far flung monastery and moving population around or overthrowing a governor , you start a guild and invest in the port of your choice. The more you invest, the bigger the port becomes, better ships can be built, a more efficient trade network can be established, and the better the profit is. There are missions galore too, it's not as open ended as Sid Meiers Pirates. You can just go out and explore the map, however you are restricted by supply, knowledge of ports and the real kicker, age of your ship. Yes, unlike Pirates! your ship ages with every passing day, lowering hull points and quality of sailing. Nautical charts can be obtained to help with the unknown, and you can build better ships if you obtain the right parts and blueprints, this also goes hand in hand with the port building mechanic of the guild. Crew is also an important part of staying afloat, slots can be filled on your ship to boost certain stats or provide bonuses. Not to mention to help repel boarders. The control scheme is a bit of a challenge to master, combat is almost identical to Pirates. The some negatives I have is the pitfall of all RPGs from the east, too much "hit enter to pass to the next dialogue bubble." , some really long periods of just watching your ship sail from one point to the other or nowhere at all, just in the middle of the ocean. But trust me, the other aspects of the game outweighs these negatives, tenfold. There's so much more to share, but I'd spoil the game, wishlist or purchase. I promise you'll like this hidden gem. If JRPG's , world building, and sailing sims are your thing, then this is the game for you !
