Strasznie nie dopracowany produkt, ani nie trzyma poziomu jedynki, ani sterowanie nie jest lepsze, w sumie wyglada to mi na gorszy klon pierwszej gry sea dogs, w której spędziłem naprawde długie i miłe wieczory.

I love this game and I remember playing it sometime like 10-11 years ago, Playing it on my dad's computer was the bomb and I had searched for this game for so long, with nowhere to buy it, sometimes one would have to resort to finding it in the not so legitimate ways, but when I seen that this game was being released on steam I knew I was gonna get it the second it came out.

If you like Pirates, Swordfighting, Cannons, and Booty! This game is definitely for you.
Although it has outdated graphics, it still is a challenge and it is great, it definitely lives up to the nostalgia I have of it.

One more extra: There will be a steep learning curve and at some point when you get the hang of it your difficulty level will seem easy peasy. There is no (proper) tutorial, but if you need any help with the game feel free to hit me up.

boarding requires Sisyphean work to avoid taking a bullet from a gun containing spam bots :D
If it weren't for critical hits, it would be impossible to defeat the smallest ship XD

The ship battles of this game is the best of any pirate games I've seen ( even over the super popular AC Black Flag)/
PROS :
- Awesome ship-to-ship-battles
- Big Caribbean map
- Plenty of quests and secrets to make you travel and explore
- High replayability : 4 nations with different questlines and territory will offer unique experiences
- Enough challenge both on land at at sea.
CONS :
- I'm writing this in 2019. The graphics are acceptable, but some folks will certainly find it unappetizing.
- Very new-player-unfriendly. The game has minimal guidance & tips, even in quest. Control-wise, you will fumble around each time you encounter new events to know what the heck you're supposed to do. Quest-wise, the logbook does help you keep track of things, but only barely enough. But once you got the hang of it, things actually feel like a true adventure.
- BUGS : a well-known issue by now. Most notably, some NPCs fail to spawn to advance quests, and the only way to fix it is either load a save 2 hours ago, or apply mods before you play.

NOTES : Bugs should no longer be a major pain as there are mods that fix most major and minor bugs. These are :
(1) Combined mod v3.2 which fix vanilla bugs, add a few ship models and weapons and such, also some more character models for you to play.
(2) Gentlemen of Fortune v1.2 : basically Combined Mod with even a helluva more stuff. Personally I've encounter a bug in this mod where all the button layout just go nuts, rendering the game unplayable. But it should be a rare occurance.
Also, Steam record me having 36 minutes of gameplay. That's because I start the game through the config exe, thus somehow gameplay time is not being recorded.

CONCLUSION : Get this game if you like pirateering, plundering, the pirate feel. It's hella fun. Some bugs still remain, but very few. Also, it's quite cheap. (got it at 1 USD).

This game is not "good." It has an extremely high learning curve, no tutorial, a clunky interface, poorly laid out and unintuitive quest objectives, sub-par writing, semi-frequent crashes, and is heavily dependent on the community "Combined Mod" to smooth out its rough edges.

That said, it is the best pure Pirate RPG available. But that probably says more about the gaping hole that exists in the market and less about this game itself. Aside from the brief but very welcome tangent that the Assassin's Creed franchise took with Black Flag we have not seen a good single player pirate RPG in a long time; probably since Sid Meier's Pirates. So if you need your pirate fix and are willing to take the time to learn this game, then you will be satisfied. But I can't help but wonder why we haven't seen a better Pirate game made.

I purchased it out of respect for the developers since i played it in my youth. I have to say that despite being old, it's the best game with pirates considering how elaborate it is. If you also add Gentlemen of Fortune 1.2 on it, you get a ton of new content and it really makes it worth playing.

Sea Dogs: City of Abandoned Ships is a massive improvement over its predecessors. Quite sophisticated and takes time to pick up, especially in the beginning, but the learning curve is much more user-friendly than in the earlier games. And while there is still barely any guidance on what the player is supposed to do, once you start playing the understanding of how the game works comes easily and naturally through exploration.

The atmosphere of the Caribbean era here is probably the main point of the game, it's so engrossing I literally lost myself in it the first time I played. The abundance of various quests and the freedom to travel anywhere and do what you want meant I spent 50 hours messing around having fun, getting into brawls, looting what I could, upgrading my ship and simply being a pirate. And just when I thought I'd seen all the game had to offer I discovered I hadn't even started any of the main quest lines! My advice is to google for a walkthrough of this game to at least see the list of all the possible quests to help you get started. Once you do and with a bit of patience this becomes a wonderful time sink.

I absolutely love this game. I used to be a huge Sid Meiers' Pirates fan until i found this gem. Similar concept only better graphics, Historically accurate ships. Not the best graphics but its definitely better than SMP. Add the Gentlemen of fortunes mod and it adds more ships and immersion. Always find myself coming back to this one. Would Highly recommend for Low end PC owners who are swashbucklers at heart.

They dont make them like this anymore

Incredibly deep 17th century captain of a ship RPG. Amazingly accessible too, jump in and learn the ropes and you'll be sailing away in no time. As mentioned great depth, tons of freedom, fun and atmosphere ooze out of this one. Very high recommendation.
