Kalypso Media and Gaming Minds Studios have announced that Tortuga – A Pirate’s Tale has set sail for Steam. After a year of exclusive release on Epic Games Store, the “definitive pirate experience” is making waves for PC players who can purchase a copy for $22.49 through February 20th. After that date, the price will rise to its normal price of $24.99.
A new Steam launch trailer celebrates the game’s features and gorgeous environments as pirates bring their special brand of mayhem to the Caribbean.
Features include
- Become the Pirate of All Pirates – You are not born a great pirate, but we give you the tools to make you THE great pirate. Customize your own Flag under which your fleet will sail. As you gain experience, your notoriety and skills will improve. Roleplay with more than 35 distinct pirate skills on your way to claim your pirate throne.
- Raid and Voyage the Caribbean Sea – The Caribbean of the 17th century is dominated by the four colonial powers of the Old World.
Being a pirate is not your fault, but it is your responsibility! Take action to relieve the Spanish, Dutch, French, and English colonies from their burden of drowning in riches. - Engage in Tactical Naval Battles – Fight in tactical turn-based naval battles on a hexagonal grid of epic proportions. Use your wits when raiding a convoy or a settlement. Victory is determined by a clever combination of your ship’s distinct armament with the varying and rough conditions of the sea.
- Upgrade Your Fleet – It is your job to maintain and upkeep a formidable fleet before facing the cannon hail of those mighty warships lurking in the seas. Combining distinct upgrades of your ship’s basic gear, such as weaponry, hull, mast, or figurehead, allows for more than 360 unique load-outs.
- Meet Your Crew’s Needs – As an elected captain of the ship, you are responsible for splitting the spoils and riches with your crew. Agreeing on so-called ‘articles of capture’ clearly defines the objectives you embark on before leaving port. Remember, the whispers of mutiny below the decks can lead to nasty outcomes. After all, you are an elected captain and not placed by the grace of the Lord.
- Parley with Infamous Pirate Legends – On your journey to become the most fearsome, most glorious pirate captain, you will have the opportunity to get to know several historic pirates. Choose your foes and companions wisely…
- Command Historical Ships – Featuring 18 unique types of ships such as Ship of the Line, Frigate, War Galleon, and many more.
