Tortuga 1680

The Caribbean, spring 1680. Live a captain's life, turn by turn: trade in 17 ports, take prizes at sea and cross blades on deck. You start with a small sloop, a handful of men and two years – and at the end comes your epitaph: penniless old salt, dreaded pirate or Governor of the Caribbean.

A classic pirate game, played at your own pace – until the blades cross. No ads, no energy bars, no gems, no subscription, and it plays offline. Try everything free for a day; when the trial ends, your save stays and a one-time purchase lets you sail on. Nothing is ever charged automatically.

FOUR POWERS, ONE REPUTATION

• Spain, England, France and the Dutch Republic wage shifting wars
• With a letter of marque you take prizes lawfully and rise through the ranks – from captain to governor, with land and titles
• Without one it's piracy – ports close to you and pirate hunters take up the chase

SEA BATTLES WITH WIND

• Turn-based on the water: your course to the wind, broadsides to port or starboard
• Sloop, brigantine, frigate, galleon – nimble or heavily armed
• Rocks, escape beyond gun range, and when darkness falls, the fight breaks off

SWORDFIGHTS ON DECK

• Board an enemy and you duel their captain – in real time
• Parry high, middle or low and strike back when he's open – but some captains feint

TRADE, PORTS, RAIDS

• Seventeen historical ports with their own goods and prices that react to every deal
• The sea chart shows at a glance where your cargo fetches the most and what lies in wait along the way
• Pirate waters pay better – but lose a fight there and you'll be robbed
• Raid enemy towns and hold them for your patron

ARCH-ENEMY AND SILVER FLEET

• Whoever beats you becomes your arch-enemy: he brags in the taverns, lurks off his home port and raids your settlement – until you claim the bounty on his head
• Once a year the Spanish silver fleet sails for Havana, and its course is marked on your chart

TREASURE MAPS AND A CREW WITH OPINIONS

• Four map pieces from shady taverns lead to the great treasure – but rivals are already digging on the beach
• Use the gold to found your own settlement in a free bay: plantation, harvest, rum distillery – and a fort against raiders
• Your men want half the plunder – hold back and you'll face desertion and mutiny

PAINTED AND SCORED

• Painted scenes, ships and portraits, a moonlit sea chart of the Caribbean
• Music on plucked strings, with surf, cannon fire and clashing blades
