Reviews

“Republic of Pirates is a gleaming pearl among high-concept city-builders, a treasure that flies its pirate flag high without capsizing its gameplay”
88 – Game8

“Republic of Pirates is amazing and the level of detail along with the artwork for the characters and the story itself are quite unique and fun to explore”
4/5 – Gamescreed

“A freshly plucked pearl from a slightly emaciated oyster, then, and your own opportunity to be the Bastard City mayor you want to see in the world”
Rock Paper Shotgun

About This Game

Set sail to the heart of the Caribbean and the Golden Age of Piracy! In this era of opportunity, intrepid freebooters seek their fortune upon the high seas, black-sailed marauders prey upon Spanish treasure ships returning from the New World, and opportunistic privateers, emboldened by their ‘letters of marque’ reap the profits of war from their influential patrons.

At the centre of this cutthroat world lies the Republic of Pirates, a powerful league of pirate clans bound together by their shared ideology, ambitions, and code of honour. But while the early days of the confederacy were prosperous, greed and jealousy soon began to spread amongst its members culminating in a vicious mutiny and a final bloody breakup.

Set out to reclaim your father’s legacy and bring justice to the traitors who wronged you. Develop a humble outpost into a sprawling settlement by investing in production buildings to create a self-sustaining economy. Utilise the black market to distribute valuable resources and grow the wealth of your pirate citizens. Recruit heroic captains and command a powerful fleet in real-time as you take to the waves in the name of conquest. Liberate islands, defeat rival factions, and navigate complex diplomatic relationships with the global superpowers of the time.



Create a resource-based economy – Utilise 100+ unique buildings to provide the resources and infrastructure required to grow your burgeoning republic. Develop the skills of your pirate citizens by supplying them with luxury goods, and upgrade to new tiers of industry with increasingly more complex production chains.

Engage in real-time naval battles – Command a fleet of ships to explore the archipelago and conquer new territories. Engage in real-time strategic combat with vulnerable merchant vessels, marauding buccaneers, and powerful ships of the line. Utilise the tactical map to plan and execute your next raid.



Conduct diplomacy – Establish and manage dynamic relationships with local pirate clans and influential national trading companies. Harbour rivalries and forge alliances as you navigate a complex diplomatic web where no action goes unnoticed.

Expand your fleet – Construct 8 unique ship classes, including the nimble Brigantine and the formidable Man-of-war, and customise your fleet’s appearance with emblems and cosmetics. Recruit talented captains and hone their skills in battle to unlock new specialisations and combat tactics.



Undertake missions – Receive orders to attack settlements, collect bounties, and strike trade deals to influence your standing in the Caribbean. Race against time to fulfil urgent faction requests and shape your fate by deciding how multi-choice story events are resolved.

Flexible gameplay modes – Build a legendary pirate utopia in a narrative-driven campaign with over 30 hours of content or customise your experience in freeplay mode with configurable settings, new maps to discover, and challenges to overcome!
