This game grows on you fast. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite games, and it's hard to believe it's only four months into Early Access. It feels like three games in one: a third-person naval combat game, a grand strategy game, and an RTS. The only thing it's missing is turn-based strategy ship boarding... although I'm pretty sure that's just me trying to sneak a fourth genre into the game. One of my favorite features is the ability to create your own custom flags that actually fly from your ships. Since there aren't any friend-or-foe UI markers (which I actually prefer), having a distinctive personal flag makes it much easier to identify your fleet in the middle of a chaotic battle. It's a small feature, but it adds a lot to the immersion. Another great sign is how responsive the developer is. They're active on Discord, quick to respond to bug reports and suggestions, and constantly improving the game. I reported a bug today, and within minutes the developer had responded, thanked me, and said they'd investigate it the next day. If the current pace of development continues, I can only see this game getting better over the coming months and years.
In my childhood I played a game called "Cutthroats: Terror on the High Seas" from 1999.^^ This game contain many elements of this good old classic. I searched many years for an remake but never found one - till now! [We are actually in EA (early access) so there will be bugs and unfinished interaction possibilities. Some graphic models for ships & buildings are not polished, the economy is unbalanced etc.] Pros: I see the direction this game is sailing! The developer has a plan for short, medium & long period. Many ideas are not implemented, like more cities, missions, a story etc. If finished we will get a handcrafted map of the caribbean sea with round 100 ports to trade. The option to attack them with ships and landtroops to conquer, plunder, burn down & give away. We can build & command our own fleet up to 15 ships! For gaphic & performance watch some you tube videos. I depends like always of the used pc! This game is a one men project! So respect to the dev. +1
Let me start with the fact that i'm always suspicious of EA games, I have refunded plenty due to the disappointment of unplayable games and false promotion. Being a fan of this style of game, Sid Meier's Pirates, Pirates of the Burning Seas, Naval Action I was hopeful when I came across Rise of Piracy. I held off buying for a few days, read comments, reviews and YouTube videos. Having now been playing the game my conclusion is: This is a good EA game, there is a'lot to do in the game and ship battles are my favourite part followed by shelling island towns and then sending in the troops to conquer them. I have not really got into trading yet as that is not my play style. This is what I consider proper early access to be, there is a broad game available here to play at this stage and its a'lot of fun. There is room for improvement of course but that's the nature of this game being early access. Addressing the room for early access improvement: Having joined the discord, the Dev is very active there and open to suggestions. These suggestions I have seen have made it into the many updates already released. If the updates continue this really could be an amazing game, the foundations are there. So rarely for me I can say I can say with confidence to recommended "Rise Of Piracy". Edit: As of the 18th March, the game is improving every update rapidly, disclaimer, I'm on the test branch. The game has changed so much that I have yet again created a new start to see the new challenges from a fresh prospective. I'm really enjoying following this games evolution. Being on the discord. Seeing the suggestions presented, bug reports and how quickly they are resolved is refreshing to say the least. I look forward to all the future developments to come. John (The Dev) is a breath of fresh air in a gaming industry of which I had little faith.
