Rating Summary
In this strategy game, players create merchant or pirate empires by managing the economic and industrial growth between 17th-century Caribbean cities. Players can expand their territory and influence by interacting with other merchants, establishing trade routes, and engaging in naval/land conflicts. Battles are depicted from an overhead perspective, and are accentuated by realistic canon fire and mild explosions. Sailors are occasionally depicted falling overboard; these characters can be eaten by sharks, resulting in pools of red blood. During the course of the game, players may trade/produce tobacco and rum (e.g., “We need this sugar in Port Royale for rum” and “People are willing to pay a fair price for rum.”). The words “damn” and “b*tch” appear in the dialogue.
