About This Game

Kaperfahrt is your pirate sandbox you've been waiting years for.

⚓ Over 200 captains populate the Caribbean, each with their own goals and personality
23 unique pirates on the Blacklist, each with their own agenda and combat style
5 houses fight for political power in the Caribbean, and you decide whose side you're on
Handcrafted quests interwoven with every game mechanic
Direct, tactical real-time naval combat
An economy that reacts entirely to the world, blockade a port, let its stores run dry, then sell your cargo at the highest price

Master the naval battle

Close in, turn at the right moment, and let your broadside speak. Direct, tactical real-time naval combat. Read the wind, position yourself well, and send enemy ships to the depths or board them for their cargo.

A world that truly lives

Kaperfahrt's Caribbean is sailed by over 200 captains, each with their own goals, personality, and plans. They sail, trade, scheme, and pursue their own agendas, whether you're there or not. You don't move through a backdrop. You move through a sea full of independent captains living their own lives.

23 infamous pirates

Hunt down 23 unique pirate captains, each with their own agenda, goals, and unmistakable combat style. No two enemies play alike. Clearing the Blacklist means figuring out every single one.

An economy driven entirely by the world

There are no fixed prices pulled from a table here. The economy responds completely to what happens in the world. Blockade a port and its stores run dry. Supplies vanish, prices climb, and your cargo commands top coin. Supply and demand aren't background noise. They're your sharpest tool.

5 houses fighting for the Caribbean

Five powerful houses vie for political control. Take a side, play them against each other, or turn their war to your own advantage. Your actions shift the balance of power in the New World.

Handcrafted quests that weave it all together

Forget generic repeatable busywork. Kaperfahrt's quests are built by hand and reach into every system in the game: economy, politics, naval combat, and the captains of the world. Everything is interlocked, so your decisions carry real consequences.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Kaperfahrt uses AI generated assets in two places. Both are placeholders and are being replaced with commissioned work.

The portrait illustrations on the wanted posters of the 23 Blacklist pirates were made with an AI image generator. They were bought as finished assets.

The soundtrack, the ambient audio and the spoken lines of the Blacklist pirates were made with Suno under a paid commercial licence.
