You take the helm as a pirate captain in a single-player nautical action RPG. The adventure follows quests and encounters across a sea whose islands and locations are procedurally arranged.
Sailing and naval combat are central: maneuver your ship to line up cannon attacks, use special combat skills, and contend with changing wind, fog, and storms. You can also explore, take on side missions, search for treasure, and fish.
Develop your vessel with equipment, skills, and ship upgrades, choosing among five ship types. Trade goods between settlements to earn gold, and conquer ports as routes and the world’s difficulty change with your progress.
Players who enjoy the game often point to its pirate sailing and naval battles, along with the variety of ship equipment and special abilities that give them ways to shape their vessel. Some also like exploring for loot and describe the experience as accessible or relaxing. Others find the quests repetitive, the story slight, or combat and controls frustrating, so these strengths are not shared by every reviewer.
King of Seas is an ARPG adventure game set in a nautical pirate world. Become the most legendary pirate of all time as you embark on an epic adventure across the boundless and ominous sea.
