I purchased Caribbean! in early access on the Steam when it became available. This game is based off the Mount&Blade Warband engine and is developed by the team who made M&B With Fire and Sword. And so those who are familiar with those games will find many similarities in controls and UI functionality and combat. Along with the structure of the M&B engine, it has the same inherent maladies as well. I feel that Caribbean! has garnered a huge amount of unreasonable hate towards it, despite the system its built upon. There are cardinal rules that go with buying and playing Mount&Blade engine games and I believe the majority of the reviewers have forgotten these when they went to play Caribbean! 1: Do NOT expect awesome Crysis like graphics. 2: Do NOT expect high levels of realism. 3: Do NOT expect amazing storylines with multi-branching quests and hot companion women to make love with. 4: There WILL be bugs. No M&B game in existence has been bug free upon launch. Snow Bird Studios have done something creative and taken the player to settings unlike those in Taleworld Games M&B games, in Fire & Sword we fought Polish Winged hussars in 17th Century Eastern europe, and now in Caribbean! we can test our sea legs and sword arm against the mighty colonial powers of the age or join them and hunt down the rampant pirates.
If you love anthropomorphic animal stuff then this game is for you.

This game is awesome, I bought it retail at Bestbuy for 30 dollars and it was worth every penny. I actually screamed aloud during some sequences, it is that scary.
