Description
Sea Dogs is an epic role-playing game for the pirate in all of us. Return to the age of sail as a young captain looking to make a name in the world. Develop your character from humble beginnings and rise to control all of the islands for your country or yourself. You can give your allegiance to one of three countries or choose to serve only yourself as a swashbuckling pirate. Build your wealth and reputation and use it to acquire bigger ships and better crewman. Hire other captains to join you in attacking and capturing other ships or forts. Where you go and what you do is up to you. The choices in Sea Dogs are endless, and so is the fun.
  • Play as one of four sides (British, French, Spanish, or Pirate) or change allegiances during the game.
  • Nonlinear campaign allows players to choose quests or play the game any way they want.
  • 20 different ship types to choose from, from small boats to large battleships.
  • Location-specific ship damage allows you to send their sails up in flames, bring the mast crashing to the deck, or shoot holes in the hull.
  • Realistic and dynamic wind and weather effects as well as day and night cycle.

Sunken Treasure...

I'm really trying to get into this game, as what it offers is what I've always wanted in this kind of high seas adventure. However, it is fatally sunken by a horrible control system, which thus far is rendering the game practically impossible to play, quickly sapping any enjoyment and patience I have to continue playing it. Getting the hang of gunnery battles at sea isn't so bad, or navigating the seas. The biggest problem thus far is boarding a ship and sword fighting. The controls for this aspect of the game are terrible. I shall keep trying for a while, but it's looking like I'll get fed up pretty soon and give up, as it's no fun at all.

Scurvy Dogs

Sea Dogs clearly takes a lot of inspiration from Sid Meiers Pirates but replaces the fun with frustration. The controls are a complete mess and often make no sense. For example, the world map is accessed by pressing Enter, not once but twice. Yes, I know that older games did often have awkward control schemes, but Sea Dogs was released in 2000 not 1989. I will give the developers credit for making the sailing and naval combat feel realistic, as it does take what seems like months to sail anywhere (unless you chart a course) and cannon reload time is so slow it is almost painful.
