Rise Of Piracy takes players on a swashbuckling journey through the high seas, where they can embrace the life of a pirate captain, build their crew, customize their ship, and explore a vast open world filled with danger and treasure.

The game focuses heavily on progression and growth. You will first be given a small ship and a handful of coins in your campaign. Complete missions and find treasure to build your economic strength and relations with the other factions. You can also choose to fight, board or sink other vessels for loot. Build up your fleet of ships and their crews to take on the most challenging tasks such as capturing islands. Defeating large colonial fleets in grand-scale naval warfare. Hunt pirates or long-lost treasures. Uncovering mysterious lands filled with dangers as you go.

Hundreds of hand-crafted environments, no procedural generation. Everything in Rise of Piracy is carefully crafted to be a new experience and challenge. Fully destructible environments and buildings allow you to level an island from afar via bombardment with your fleet. Talk to mayors of settlements and captains of fleets to uncover hidden lands, or find them yourself through exploration and investigation.

Piracy is optional. Choose to trade with over 200 commodities that can be found scattered around the world. Ports with specialized trading routes and dedicated merchants to trade with. Add trading ships to your fleet to maximize your transportation potential. Build relations with other factions to increase your trading effectiveness. Engaging in war, hunting bounties, or seeking hidden treasures are also viable means of building your bank.

A deep diplomacy system allows relationships to grow between all factions. Engage in diplomacy with every faction you meet. AI factions will go to war with one another and their assets will change hands. Changing the balance of powers can impact your play style, increasing warship activity, and blocking trade routes.

Fill your fleet with over 30 playable ships from 1600 - 1900, from the light and fast Carousel to the tremendous firepower but limited maneuverability that comes with the 120 Gunship of the Line. Taverns provide a great place to hire crewmen for your fleet. Fill your ships with specialized crew. Use them to board hostile ships, or invade and capture islands to secure passive income. Hostile actions will have consequences amongst the factions - fleets of pirate hunters are constantly seeking bounties. Campaign difficulty will grow dynamically and remain challenging no matter how strong players get.
