Sea Dogs

Beaing a pirate isn't easy :) Storms , curses, old family enemys but wort it. I like this game even more then SidM Pirates but somtime its to many pointless fights thats why game is boring aftere few hours of play .

This game has rather unique gameplay. At the other hand you are rather limited with the activities. It`s a kind of sandbox you may do whatever you want. However up to the time when you will get 4 rang ship you will already try everything. In that cause, you will need to hunt trade encounters for experience in order to get 3 rang ship & continue the story, but it will last for long hours. This will broke all joy & interest to the game.

Parts of the HUD like the minimap becomes black seemingly randomly, cannot find a fix, probably there is no fix. Cannot play this game without a reliable HUD. I am playing it on Windows 10 so on earlier versions of Windows it might work ok.

I played Pirates back in the early 90s and that was far superior to this game! I'm actually surprised at the good reviews as the play was clunky, unstable and just plain annoying. I like the concept of a free range game where you can head anywhere but I just didn't have the experience I was hoping for. I bought both expansions and while they were improved, still uninstalled and added to my hide list. Good luck if you buy this one!

Out of all the Sea Dogs versions, this one had the most ship content. Certain ships are missing in later versions.
