About this game

Run cargo: buy where it is cheap, sell where it is dear. Eight goods, a different price sheet in every port, and a failed harvest, an epidemic or a blockade can turn the market over in a minute. Or take it by force: sink rival ships and haul off their cargo, silence the shore batteries and raise your own flag over the harbour. Every broadside shifts how the powers see you — from alliance to open war. What you earn goes into ships: from sloop to galleon to ghost ship, seven classes and six upgrade lines. Take every port and you are crowned Pirate King — a rank, a bonus to every ship you sail and a fresh sea ahead. The ranking counts everything you have ever earned, not the gold in your hold. Daily tasks, cloud saves, ten languages.

How to play

On a computer: W and S drive ahead and astern, A and D turn the ship. The fire button uses whichever broadside faces the target, so there is no aiming to do by hand. On a phone, hold the virtual stick in the lower left corner; fire, map and time skip sit on the buttons to the right. The game plays in both landscape and portrait. To dock, come in close and slow down. A port gives you trade, repairs, upgrades and a shipyard. The map button opens the archipelago and points you at the next run. Progress saves itself after every trade that matters. Pause is the button in the top corner, and it also holds the leaderboard and the language picker. Sound has its own button on screen. Losing your ship is not the end: you are pulled out of the water, some gold and upgrades go down with the hull, and the run carries on. One goal only — the largest fortune of all time.
