This just went live on Steam earlier, and I’ve been playing around with the demo a bit. Its a fun arcade-ish ship combat game. Controls are nice and simple. AWSD controls ship movement, and both mouse buttons control cannon’s firing on either side of the ship. Looks like a lot of content too for a $20 game:
[ul]
[li]Swashbuckling single player campaign across 50+ missions.[/li]> [li]Compete against up to 18 other cut-throats in team-based multiplayer.[/li]> [li]Captain one of 26 upgradeable pirate vessels.[/li]> [li]Explore the beauty of the Caribbean, with stunning shader technology.[/li]> [li]Instantly accessible arcade-like controls.[/ul][/li]
Demo is multiplayer only, but you can still host an empty game and see if it catches your eye. In multiplayer, each side has a base where they can repair. Also scattered around the map are some smaller ships you can capture for bonuses and whatnot. The ship models look pretty nice.
This just got a multiplayer update and is 50% off.
