About Pirate101


An army of clockwork soldiers called the Armada have troubling plans for the Spiral. Recently broken out of their prison and determined to thwart their evil plot, you and your ragtag crew of companions need to locate all pieces of the legendary map to El Dorado before it’s too late. Can you stay ahead of the Armada and find the map before they do?
Determine your piratin’ style and pick one of five different classes: Musketeer, Swashbuckler, Buccaneer, Privateer, and Witchdoctor. Each class comes with different strengths and weaknesses to learn and conquer.
Recruit hundreds of companions along your journey to prepare for the hard battles ahead of you. Use their skills wisely to trigger crushing combos and defeat enemies in exciting turn-based tactics combat.
Customize and upgrade your ship as you navigate the dangerous skyways. Unleash powerful ship abilities and board nearby enemies in a show of nautical force!
Solve mysteries, unlock secrets, and meet hundreds of fully voice-acted characters on your quest to recover the legendary map of El Dorado! Explore and fight your way through the wild west, haunted caverns, clockwork hideouts, and more!
Sharpen your skills and prove your might in PvP against other pirates! Develop and refine your strategy to stay in ship-shape and climb the ranks.
Take a break from your quest to engage in numerous side systems! Venture to Bestia to morph and train a new trusty pet or deck out your bunkhouse to make it uniquely you.
Strategize and team up with fellow pirates to take down tough bosses in this vast MMORPG. Once you’ve conquered your enemies, socialize with friends and engage with the community to learn and expand your knowledge.

My favorite MMORPG! 9/10. Originally, I got into this game back in 2012 through my older brother. I played all the different classes, but I eventually found my way as a Buccaneer. This game feels so unique in the way they incorporate different cultures and famous figures from history into the game as characters or bosses. And I was able to learn more about general history as a kid through this game. Also, the different classes completely change the entire game for you. There's different combat, dialogues, companion characters that get assigned to you, side quests, and much more. I have to praise the different worlds, characters, dialogue, voice acting, stories, overarching story, combat, and music. The incredible voice acting for hundreds of characters makes this game feel so special. And the music is always fitting. Additionally, the game has a surprisingly good overarching story because without really spoiling, it's about [spoiler]AI trying to take over, while you race against them.[/spoiler] Also, the community is great! People seem a lot more friendly and willing to help on this game compared to other MMORPGs I've played. My favorite worlds are 1. Cool Ranch 2. Aquila 3. Sk…

playable on steam deck , only needs cross account progression between steam and kingsisle platform for pirate 101 and wizard 101

Pirate101 is an awesome and one of a kind game. It has a unique premise in a plot showcasing a clockwork army, sky pirates, and a race to El Dorado. The plot is an amazing mixture between mature themes (e.g., war, racial discrimination) and a dedication to remaining appropriate for families. The setting, laden with floating isles and powderpunk cities, is just as compelling as the story. PIrate101 has a charm that's impossible to find anywhere else, and I hope you play it.
