3:43 PM EST, January 23, 2024
The game was released on January 19 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows platforms. It's widely available, although the computer version can only be accessed through the Epic Games Store, at least for now. The future trajectory of this production is still unknown.
Immediate Connections Made to the Port Royale Series
The connection to the Port Royale series is no coincidence. The creation of Tortuga - A Pirate's Tale was handled by Gaming Minds Studios, the same team that developed Port Royale 3 and Port Royale 4. However, we are given fewer choices in this storyline. The player becomes a pirate, specifically the captain of a pirate ship, or even a fleet.
In Tortuga - A Pirate's Tale, the player navigates a map that represents the Caribbean of the 17th century. As a pirate, the main objective is to hunt for treasure. There are also numerous tasks to complete, options to trade, and battles to fight. The fighting aspect appears particularly interesting, as evident in the gameplay.
Key features of the game worth mentioning include:
- turn-based gameplay
- ability to customize ships (with 360 enhancement sets)
- around 25 hours of gameplay
- 35 pirate skills
- 18 unique ships
- authentic pirate atmosphere
