Paradox Interactive and Nitro Games have released a playable demo for their upcoming RTS/RPG

 

[Mr Krugga]

Thought it was a sequel to Sea Dogs at first, now I'm disappointed to find out it's more like Port Royal.

Oh, well...

 

[Neil79]

lol it's not even like Port Royale!

 

[lokiss]

Great.

Anything pirate related... dunno why

Without looking it up, just on the video, looks like party collect um'up click fest.. with added ship on ship.

Casualy looking forward to it

Terrible Pathfinding
Ships that have spasms and come from rocks
Walking from one part of the town to another is boring and tedious
Ship travelling takes ages and even with my low end ship i can take down Man O Wars
Can't seem to take over other ships?
Heats up your graphics card a lot!
Stupid Voiceovers
CTD at Governor missions end

Beautiful Graphics

Why can't a developer make a decent pirates remake ffs

Sorry to hear about your crashes, thanks for the info. If you would post dxdiag for your machines it would be super helpful.

We patched the game last night (patch 1.01) on Steam and the non-Steam sites will follow suit. We will patch again this Friday (Aug 5th).

Thanks for your patience.

Ouch

Q: What do little pirates want to be when they grow up? A: A carrrrrrgh salesman. No, this is not a good joke, but it's a silly one, and Pirates of Black Cove uses such gags to make a charming first impression. But peg leg puns can get a game only so far, and your grins turn to groans when you discover how simple, easy, and boring this action/strategy hybrid is. On the ground, you select all of your units at once and click on an enemy until it dies. And that's all. At sea, you circle your vessel around other ships and shoot them until they die. And that's all. In addition to their cargo of rum and surplus eye patches, these pirates carry with them an inordinate number of bugs, ranging from the pace-killing (error windows) to the game-stopping (crashes to desktop). Pirates of Black Cove is strategy gaming's class clown, masking its deep-seated problems with campy quips and a boisterous attitude.
