Plot is good. Graphic is what you expect. But crashes to the desktop sometimes and missions get bugs that make immersion stop, so you go to find walkthroughs. I couldn't finish Lotti's one because when the infernal bats appeared to kil, she disappeared completely (bug) and I couldn't finish the mission. Frustrating, buggy, badly finished. Unbelievable.
This game reminds a lot of EoE, but it has far more details and much more beautiful. I spent more than 50 hours playing it in the last week. It makes you feel like playing again and theres a few scenarios and challenges. So I still have a lot to play. I managed to reach a population of 120 without problems. But I took 40 hours of gameplay to understand how it could be done while the society was organized. It has many flaws, though. Walls that won't connect depending on the terrain, watch towers than can be destroyed by men with bows and arrows (very very weak), a wooden wall that worths almost nothing, too few techs and you can't build more villages. The game engines undersyands everything as one village. So it doesn't matter if you built a whole other village, with its own walls, when you sound the alarm, people might run to the wrong places and raiders will easily destroy your paper made watch towers and walls. That was so frustrating! I think they might be going to upgrade the game. The concept is good, graphics are good, it's very stable and never crashed. Still, for the fun I had, I'm giving 3 stars.
The evil hand is an important and essential part of the gameplay. What happens is that they replaced it with the cursor. The hand hand follows the hand. It was far more immersive when the hand itself was the cursor. I never had problems on Dungeons 2. But this evil hand killed the game for me and I still don't play it as much as I wanted because I feel frustrated when I do. What do the devs have to say about this? Well, "we're listening, but not promissing." So there it goes. That's why I'm giving only 2 stars. I should give just one though.
That's a very good classic. I don't have much to say. Graphics are very good, ships and ocean look very real and battles are not impossible. Missions are chalenging and you have a free caribean world to try what you want. There could be more freedom, sure. A GTA like system would be nice. You won't find a better pirates game. But, GOG, no full screen? Really?
