[@TheCriticallyClueless]

Unfortunately this is not available on the switch as of yet 🖖

[@PodyTheCirate]

Finally an actual review, weird we haven’t gotten much word on this. Thanks!

[@Nottz4Lyf18]

Same thoughts didnt even know it existed till 5!minutes ago

[@ShaneH5150]

It's from the same people that made the Port Royale games which were trading/economy + ship battles. Good games, the turn base type of combat made it's first appearance in P.R. 4 P.R. 3 and earlier combat was a "free" style combat.

[@jayson8118]

A little disappointed that it doesn't have off ship play or fighting with swords but in saying that ; it would cost a lot more if it did. Hard to go past Assassins Creed Black Flag as it has all that and then some. I may consider buying this game at a later date as I have way too many unfinished games now. Thanks for the review .

[@TheCriticallyClueless]

No worries bud, if you do, let us know how you get on. I agree though, black Black was a great pirate game ☠️

[@joeydigrado382]

I liked rogue better. It added to the pirate and ship aspect of BF. It's my favorite assassins creed game they need another pirate one.

[@michaelweston409]

Black flag was a once in a generation game

[@Zerinth]

no sword fighting....???? thanks for letting me know. How would it cost a lot more money to do that?? Something that was in most pirate games from the off. e.g. all seadog games, the original sid meir's pirates and its iterations. Pretty surprised that none of the reviews (including this one) ive read mention it....

[@casthedemon]

We haven't had a good pirate game in over a decade.

[@howto1537]

Sid Meyers pirates and pirates Gold of the late 80’s and early 90’s were my personal favorites.

[@Encantador]

Nice review, just a perfect amount of details and insights in a perfect time frame. Thank you!

[@TheCriticallyClueless]

Thank you, appreciate that 🖖

[@collinhicks37]

Thanks for the red banana! I was on the fence about this, but this convinced me to pick it up.

[@TheCriticallyClueless]

Thanks for watching! Let us know how you get on! 🖖

[@WysteriaGuitar]

Looks and seems to play just like Port Royal 4. What's different?

[@michaelweston409]

Looks like a bite off of Port Royal 4

[@taomahNEGEV]

I like both Tortuga and Sid Meier's Pirates! so I am excited about this one. Thanks.

[@eklipseempire8807]

The game is absolutely lovely and a great title however nobody seems to mention in reviews that the text is very small and hard to make out and as of the last time I played the game there wasn't a setting anywhere to increase text size of font anywhere.. so you're constantly squinting to see information and unless you're on a huge screen you will probably be finding difficulties as I have.. aside from the text being tiny as hell though the game is a very good game!! think Mount & Blade as a Turn Based Strategy but when in real time on the overhead map it's very similar to that game.

[@ugandantoad6616]

Red banana. Nice review, no off ship mechanics is a big put off for me. Congrats on the 10k subsribers 🥳🥳🥳

[@TheCriticallyClueless]

Thank bud! 🖖

[@Maikeru101]

It’s a strategy game, of course there wouldn’t be any off ship mechanics

[@Mike_Virata]

Looks like a Pirate Ship version of Mount and Blade/Battle Brothers/Wartales. It works with controller and is on GeForce Now so I can hit it up on the couch. I'm not sold yet, but I'll keep an eye out. THanks for the review, great job!

[@TheCriticallyClueless]

Thanks for watching 🖖

[@ElEmElEkv13]

I've hoped that after not great reviews of Port Royale 4 Kalypso would ditch this turn based combat, but they decided to just tweak it. I guess I should give up on hope of Kalypso bringing back Port Royale 2 style naval battles.

[@PT-rg2vo]

Kalypso is the publisher. Game is made by Gaming Minds who makes Port Royale and Railway Empire. Basically they stripped PR4 from the trade, added more detailed combat mechanics and job done. This game could have been easily added as DLC in PR4.

[@Minecraft4Noob]

This game was fun at first, but then I hate the repeating process where you have to keep raid a ships to pay your crews. It felt like a job instead of playing lol. They should implemented tax on your town or tax on a trade route your control, so that way you don't have to keep raiding convoy ships to make ducats.

[@DeMisterCrist]

Sounds like my bottle of rum, I'll absolutely have to have a go, cheers for the detailed review.

[@TheCriticallyClueless]

No worries, let us know how you get on 🖖

[@jbarry39]

A very good take! Gonna make the purchase ❤

[@seanmacken1409]

Sid Meier's pirates is still the TRUE superior pirates game and I stand by that

[@casthedemon]

Unfortunately it looks like shit lmao.

[@arthurhernandez8937]

Sure but this is trying to do its own thing...

[@denisrutz]

May be true, but "Sid Meier's Pirates" isn't available on either my PS5, nor the Xbox Series X, so i'll take this little game here over Ubisoft's (probably never going to be released) "Skull & Bones" any given day. Judging by this review, "Tortuga" will be way worth the money the makers and publishers ask for.

[@seanmacken1409]

@@denisrutz it is 100% available on Xbox as I have it on my series x

[@casthedemon]

@@denisrutz actually it is. It's on Xbox.

[@synesthetically]

Is this a good successor to Sid Meier's Pirates! Gold?

[@TheCriticallyClueless]

I believe it's a nice go to 🖖

[@ryujii9643]

Its 14.39 on epic store right now 1/22/2023

[@KK-fi6ms]

Ships have captains and crew?! That alone makes it more authentic than 90% of the naval games out there LOL.

Microid's Corsair needs to be remade, for me it's the best pirates game

hopefully good dlc and updates. I think i’m getting it on on ps5. seems cool and different. I am trying crusader kings 3 and it’s a lot going on but cool.

Once you said turned based I was like, "not for me"

Port Royale 4.5?

Will there be a version for Steam instead of Epic store?

[@AA-Ashley]

Red Banana, thx for the review dude.

[@praggersgaminguk]

Red Banana! it's def an interesting looking game.

[@TheCriticallyClueless]

One for your list? 🖖

[@praggersgaminguk]

@@TheCriticallyClueless possibly not yet. Maybe if it gets into gamepass.

[@TheCriticallyClueless]

I think the game would work well on gamepass

[@andreskelly5761]

I'm just upset that they changed the game to a turn based fighting game. The old Tortuga game did not have this.. and im surprised they decided to go for that.

[@EddieDexx]

Its too bad this game is Epic exclusive, no info if the game will ever launch on Steam either.

[@christianelmers8600]

Its Just exculsive for 1 year - you can expect it on 19th Jan 2024 in steam

[@lanteanboy]

But. Can you still just win all your combats through selection of "likeliest" choice in a Boarding combat and then reselling the captured ships for dozens of thousands of Gold

[@TheCriticallyClueless]

Boarding doesn't always go to plan lol 🖖

[@Dearestandme]

Looks like Port Royale 4 pirates version

[@toleranceandtruth]

Read Banana or Red Banana?

[@Secretsofsociety]

Really looking for a modern sid meiers pirates. This looks close and better in some ways. just wish the combat was real time.

[@user-ki8ox1tu3l]

I love this gamw

[@Zerinth]

Better review than others i have seen but hardly any criticism? Hrmmmm :/

[@saibisureddo5657]

I will say this. When I saw the game I got very interested. Right until I saw its turn based strategy combat. Just my opinion. That form of combat doesn't mesh well with the idea of being a pirate on the open seas. You really want things to be active and engaging and tense. A bit chaotic. A bit worrysome. To me that system just slows things down makes combat a slog and far less appealing. Especially when the rest of the time appears to be real time. Just feels like a misstep to me. I am sure others might enjoy that its just not for me.

[@olinshaw]

Red Banana.. nice review.

[@TheCriticallyClueless]

Thanks bud 🖖

[@PT-rg2vo]

Huh. So Gaming Minds took their Port Royale 4 stripped it from the trade mechanics added more detailed combat and we got a new game. Because it looks 90% the same as Port Royale 4 including combat. Even engine and graphics are exactly the same. :D

[@GamerDrood]

Red banana! :)

[@Quincy_Morris]

“Only ship to ship combat” Seriously how hard is it to have a game that handles the four theaters of pirate combat? Ship combat (Cannon) Boarding (pistol) Individual combat (sword) Land battles (musket) Only Sid Myers pirates? And people wonder why that remains the superior pirate game? Half the appeal of this era is the different theaters of combat. But it ALSO had stealth, trading, exploring and dancing. (I liked the dancing sue me) Also this game fails to take advantage of the most interesting constraint of the era: slow reload times. In tactics games the well designed ones give you lots of other/better options than just “attack every turn” but that can sometimes be hard to design. The age of sail does that for you with all these limitations on fire rate. A broadside should take ages to set up as it requires a ton of time to reload every canon given not every crew will be as efficient. But no this game just has the boring “attack every turn” Ugh… how hard is it to make a proper pirate game? All the tools are there but people just make modern games and give them a pirate paint job

[@JasonEllingsworth]

This is essentially a clone of an older game called Windward.

[@FergusonRacing23]

Looks like they just took it all from port royale every bit of it

[@russelemmanuelpilapil3834]

The reason why this is missing the attention is because a lot of people are not a fan of turn-based and strategic games. For me, it is the winning feature. I will wait for this to release on the Switch. It's not going to be available anytime soon, though.

[@funkytown_fox]

Bruh why the shitty turn based combat again

[@nicholashenderson6941]

This game suuuucks. Its very boring, barely explains how to do anything. Its very random, and very annoying. Just don't unless you just love the paper side of D&D without the excitement of an actual story line.

[@zertun2380]

This game is garbage. I love pirate games so I got it and tried it to find there nothing in it.

[@maxpayne69.]

Shame we can't actually *UPGRADE* a ship. Want to change equipment between your ships instead of sailing around to get to the respective ports and having to buy the item once again at full price? *Sorry no can do!* Got all top of the line stuff for your current ship from 4 different ports and now captured a more superior vessel with dual cannon ports and just want to equip the current stuff on to the new ship? Well eat sh[[t because it is not possible. Such good potential is just wasted by these niggly shenanigans.
