  • Stealth
  • Real-time tactics
  • Pirates

Real-time stealth tactics in a fantasy Caribbean: you lead an undead pirate crew across islands full of Inquisition soldiers, pause to coordinate several characters at once and quicksave instantly to try another idea.

Why play it now

When you've got plenty of evenings ahead: the longer missions take an hour and the campaign runs to around 25-30 hours.

Who it's for

For anyone who enjoyed Shadow Tactics or Desperados III and wants to choose from eight pirates with powers.

When not to pick it

If clunky controls frustrate you: RPGFan finds them cumbersome at times.
