About Choice of Broadsides: HMS Foraker

Return to the world of Choice of Broadsides as a veteran captain in the age of sail! Take command of HMS Foraker, a crack 38-gun frigate. Train your crew, face wild storms and sudden crises, and prepare yourself for the ultimate challenge: a showdown with a powerful enemy warship.

HMS Foraker is an 85,000 word interactive novel by Paul Wang, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
  • Take Command of HMS Foraker, a powerful sailing frigate.
  • Manage your crew to keep them at full combat readiness.
  • Deal with smugglers, slavers, and other unsavoury characters for tactical advantage or personal gain.
  • Do what must be done to ensure victory, or curry favour with your superiors back home.
  • Tackle storms, accidents, and a dozen other random events.
  • Tread the thin line between bravery and cowardice, cunning and foolhardiness.
  • Win glory, riches, promotion, a knighthood, or even a noble title.
  • Play as male or female.

Will You Steer Your Crew to Glory?

WAY, way too short ! About 30min to get one of the "good" endings. Not even one interesting character and no real feeling of adventure. It's just... boring.

A very short addition to the Choice of Games catalogue; it felt even shorter than the original.

This story is touted as a piece of active history but I quickly became annoyed with all the ludicrous national names presented in an effort to avoid historical ones. For all the action hinted at the story is over quickly without any sense of actual achievement. It would be more interesting to read a historical representation of the events described with more time spent illustrating those instead. As it is, it leaves one empty and wondering what all the commercial fuss was about.

Very good story, rich content and pretty touching.

This is a poor game from a studio which generally delivers better. As much as it pretends towards a deep narrative, I completed it within seventeen minutes of booting it up and was left entirely unimpressed. The game lacks any meaningful depth or characterisation, there is no development of characters and every choice is little more than a numbers crunch leading towards a final showdown which feels meaningless given the lack of involvement of what went before. I bought this in the sale and have requested a refund. Thankfully, the studio's more recent work is better, but this is laughable.
