Privateers

This is Good, Old-School fun!!! Sometimes, "Simple" is downright entertaining and this game fits that bill very well. I really enjoy how easy it is to pick up and play! It has an uncomplicated, fair progression system that doesn't punish you to death. The loot aspect is a lot of fun too! But I have to admit, one of the things that first attracted me to this game is the interactive town buildings (that act as a menu of sorts). That very much reminds me of an Impressions game that I played many years ago named, "High Seas Trader". And now that I own this game, I see how much potential it has & I have great hopes for it's further improvement as it continues to develop. So, if you like simple games featuring the Age of Sail/Pirates, get this game. If you like quest/loot-based games, get this game. If you like a game that's easy to pick up and play, get this game. I think it's a hidden gem and I hope you'll enjoy as much as I do.

This game is freakin awesome. Its a pirate-themed party-based roguelike action-rpg, and there's not anything else quite like it. I got pretty far then half my crew got killed by robots, it was amazing. buy it.

Privateers is a casual top-down RPG that's really easy to get into and can be fun if you enjoy "pausable combat" (think Aarklash Legacy but less intense), crew management, and the constant drive to seek better gear ala dungeon crawler style. In this game, you play as an up-and-coming pirate captain with a not-too-shabby (negative... I mean negative) reputation and a crew of three pirates, including yourself. You'll then be able to take on various treasure-hunting expeditions or quests where you get to be a hero and help other people with their problems, which usually require some muscle, via the patrons of the local tavern... sometimes for a small... ahem "token of appreciation". Quests are usually really straightforward and simple. Once you reached the quest location, you'll either be asked to talk to certain NPCs or go into some dungeon and kill some enemies. Personally, I find enemies and even special creatures like the kraken in this game to be rather easy to take care of as long as you pay attention to early signs of special attacks (look out for red colored stuff on the ground) and make sure to pause and assign your pirates to move away from the danger zones. That said,…

Ultra axe my beloved, This game was truly monumental i wish more poeple could enjoy it. A buggy but perfect mess

Amazing game. I still play it even though there are plenty of triple A titles out there. I have very few games that I keep installed. This is one of them.

This game is great. Its clearly a side project for the devs, so development is very slow. But it's addictive as hell. Its basically a real-time with pause roguelite dungeon crawler with a pirate theme. So if you like Pillars of Eternity or Baldur's Gate combat, you'll love this game. Go out on adventures across the high seas, kill monsters, get loot! Rinse and repeat. There's a town with where you sail from and get quests. There's also a decent amount of choice and consequence in the quests with a reputation system that unlocks different options. Different classes also unlock dialog options. The game has a number of different game modes with different victory conditions, so replay value is high. All in all I'm very surprised that this has gone under the radar, perfect game for bite size dungeon crawling. I only found out about it through the Steam Talk Like Pirate Day Sale.
