About Tide of Thieves
Fight your way through the defenses of a scurvy rival to claim back your stolen treasure. Collect new weapons and ammunition along the way, solve puzzles, discover secret areas, all the while, defending yourself from a mercenary armada and their strange contraptions.
The journey would not be the same without company so, you'll be joining Hayes, the captain, Cassandra, the cartographer and last but not least, Jerad, the cannoneer. Experience the story (and a lot of chit-chat) through their humorous interactions while dodging traps, cannonballs and heavy fire.
There's more than cannonballs in Jerad's disposal. From flame throwers, roaming rockets and machine guns to flaming bottles of rum, mines and ray guns. Burn, wreck, electrocute and sink the enemy's defenses. But use your weapons wisely, unlike cannonballs those are not so easy to come by!
During the adventure you can collect Doubloons. As long as you can afford it, with these shiny little golden coins you will be able to recover your ship even from the bottom of the sea! You also have the option to spend your hard earn Doubloons on conquered checkpoints to buy weapons and ammo, but choose wisely, or your journey will be over!
Fortresses are scattered all around the world. From sunny equatorial heat to the icy cold winds of the north, in total there are five unique and vibrant environments to explore and plunder. Plus, here there be monsters! Keep your eyes peeled for five mysterious sea creatures who are all waiting to drag you down into the depths of the sea!

✦ AI summary
Players praise Tide of Thieves for its fun, frantic gameplay that balances action with puzzle-solving, smooth controls, and charming pirate-themed presentation that successfully captures the spirit of classic games like Overboard! and Shipwreckers!. The game is particularly appealing to those nostalgic for the original PSX titles, though some players note the lack of multiplayer as a missed opportunity compared to its inspirations.
Tide of Thieves is a lively top-down pirate adventure that keeps things fun without ever feeling overwhelming. You play as a crew with a salty sea captain, a cautious cannoneer, and a clever cartographer working together to retake stolen treasure. Along the way you explore fortresses, solve puzzles, fight off invading cannons and weird contraptions, and manage scarce resources like weapons and ammo. The variety of enemies (rockets, mines, even ray guns) keeps you on your toes. Compared with the PS1 classic Overboard!, Tide of Thieves shares a sense of playful exploration and urgency, though it leans more heavily into action than Overboard!’s branching narrative. It’s enjoyable, engaging, and worth a try. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65E2uy1Rm9Q8 found this helpful
Tide of Thieves is heavily inspired by Overboard! (1997). Very similar gameplay & weapons. Lacks multiplayer but features updated graphics & QoL features, secret areas, & campaign. Nostalgic & fun. If you ever played Overboard! back in the day, you'll want to check it out. If you haven't, it was one of my favourite games growing up and your kids will probably love it too.

A very fun and great tribute to the psx game shipwreckers!/overboard. This is a better game and more refined due to it being released many many years afterwards. The gameplay is fun and frantic yet not frustrating because you get to continue right where you left off. There are also puzzle elements and things to keep you thinking and moving quickly at the same time. Very cute pirate themed graphics and animations. Smooth controls. A great game if you like the look of it.1 found this helpful
