Sailing Era is a good game. Marginally superior to the old Uncharted Waters, which you wouldn't think would be saying much considering UW is three decades old, and yet UW 1&2 are basically the high water mark for games in this genre with everything since having been a weak attempt at imitation at best. Sailing Era is the first game, in spite of its occasional translation errors, that I would say firmly replicates and builds upon the old formula, even if only just. Well worth my time thus far.
So, you *can* get softlocked by the bad way this game handles pirate ambushes. If one triggers right as you're leaving a town, and you saved in that town, there's nothing you can do to prevent the ambush. And your autosave is usually going to be pretty close to caught up with your normal save, so if you did anything meaningful in that town they're probably both synched up. Even doing inland expeditions, if the town has that option, to progress time doesn't break the softlock. Add this to a lot of ports not having the ability to repair your fleet, and you can get a lot of progress bricked if you're not careful to keep a rotated save. However, Sailing Era is a really solid Uncharted Waters clone. It's got some rough edges, the translation is not stellar, you have to blind feel your way through a couple menus to make everything be in english, the controls are neither intuitive nor explained well, and there's a bit of a gacha funk to the design. But also it plays as smoothly as you could expect an intrinsically clunky game like Uncharted Waters to play, and progression feels fun. There's a ton of characters to choose from, even without the dlc, and their campaigns are as distinct as you'd expect from UW: NH. In terms of raw game hours, there's a *lot* here, and the sidequests are often pretty vague about where you need to go and what you need to do, so 100%ing any of the campaigns would be an unwise challenge. Basic mechanics like adjusting sails, exploring, restocking, trading, and fighting all feel good. And if you're not used to UW it might feel like a lot, because again the explanation for how anything works is pretty bad, but you can reliably fall back on "it was this way in UW" and muddle through. The art and music are both as good as you'd expect from the banner image. Just, genuinely, the illustrators cooked. They didn't have to, and the 3D art really doesn't keep up, but the portraits had a lot of care put into them and it shows. So, in terms of recommending this thing, I think it has to be to an audience that already likes UW and isn't sold on the MMO/gacha direction the series was forced in. If you haven't played an Uncharted Waters, go rom New Horizons. If you dig it, grab this at full price. If you don't love UW, you just like merchant sims, maybe go a bit more cautiously. I think this is a safe pickup at 60/70% off, but I do think it's possible for some folks to open up this game and have an allergic reaction to it, so your mileage may vary. Edit: Also, pirate ambushes are kinda bugged. I recommend having your rotation save be at your home port, because maybe that gets around this, but I've gotten into an ambush, reloaded to a save at a safe port, exited the port, and bam the ambush is there instead. This ups the softlock potential significantly, especially as ambushes scale in threat the more of them you get into. 2nd Edit: Also if we're talking bugs, sometimes the map does not log that you've been through an area. There'll just be a big blotch of fog of war slapped between you and the last port you visited, and you have to sail across it again to clear it. Not a big deal all things told, but still annoying. 3rd Edit: Not all quests are logged, nor do all quest log entries tell you anything about your actual next step (looking at you "just find the holy grail, doofus" quest description.) I cannot stress enough how you don't want to be playing this if you're a completionist. You just play what you can play and enjoy what you can enjoy. Also, speaking of which, book translations. You need to have VERY specific combinations of skills and languages on certain characters, and you *can* permanently fsk this up. I don't know why the designers did this. It's just a test of whether you're psychic or have a walkthrough and know to stick, like, French + Latin + Mathematics lv 10 on a dude. And you need to hit these specific combos with like three people per book. If you're going for these, the books will funnel you into certain build comps, which is now taking agency away from *other* parts of the game. Wild. 4th Edit: Gold Leaf is a "consumable" that can be sold at the "prop shop." It's not actually a consumable item, though. It sells at a high price at regular vendors, but they warn you that you're selling a rare item. I cannot tell if this is the translation being vague or the "prop shop" is at a very specific port or what. Similarly, I have a "lookout" and a "surveyor" assigned to different positions in my ship and I cannot know for certain which skills factor into which's calc because the game does not tell you. I *think* the lookout is observation and the surveyor is mapping and maybe geography and treasure are somehow involved, but who knows. 5th Edit: Read a guide and yeah I permanently ruined my team lmao. Every skill is only relevant to a specific role, with a few exceptions. Cannot over-stress how much the game does not explain this. 6th Edit: I *think* what I'm supposed to do next is translate two books in a library, but the quest log does not even remotely tell you to do this and my skill allocations are borked and will not allow me to translate those books. So, I think I'm done with the game, but it *is* pretty impressive outside of its critical flaws.
Hidden gem 8/10 scratches that itch Tradewinds left behind all those years ago. immersive and relaxing but with caveats : naval combat meh under explained mechanics no baby/casual mode for lil bro who just wants to trade If pirates didn't port camp I'd say they add a one life/hardcore mode
A special kind of Game for s special kind of person. Easy to play but difficult to master in one playthrough so be ready for the learning curve. The problem is that you won't know there is one until pirates and missions decide to give you a weggie for not poneying up the lunch money. Negitives out of the way, Sailing Era is a great game. It's well thought out, plays well, and can really eat away at the clock if you let it. The stories are decent, if a little bland but your not really buying this game for compelling story. Buy it because you want to sail around the world. Buy it if you have time to burn and love simulation games. Buy it for when your in-between games and don't know what to play. Do not buy this game hoping to be suprised, it's exactly what it looks like. This is not a high stakes or a fast paced game. Sailing Era is fun but like the Sims or other sim games it can get stale after a few setbacks. It's a classic case of different strokes for different folks
