The Pirate: Plague of the Dead

Play as pirate captain John Rackham and use voodoo magic to resurrect members of the Flying Gang. Together, they face the Inquisitor in a campaign set across the Caribbean.

Sail through charted and uncharted waters, fight ships, explore islands and ports, seek treasure, trade, and conquer cities. You can capture ships and expand your fleet as you pursue campaign objectives.

Earn gold and gather resources to upgrade ships and build your fleet. Resurrected captains have distinct skills that affect ship statistics, gold gains, and combat, including the ability to summon the Kraken.

Players who enjoy the game often point to its pirate atmosphere, ship visuals, exploration, and the appeal of collecting ships. Some also like its accessible, casual feel. Other reviews describe a short or repetitive experience, and mention issues such as fleet-control glitches, slow sailing, or an uneven economy.
