Missing the golden age of classic strategy games? Then welcome aboard SeaCret! A real-time pirate simulator set in the heart of the Caribbean. Command your fleet in real time, buy goods cheap and sell them high in distant cities, engage in epic naval battles against fearsome pirates , from a humble sloop to a towering galleon , and even fight 1-on-1 duels to save your crew, clashing swords with wild physics and a variety of weapons and armor. Recruit villagers and assign them to your buildings to craft increasingly rare materials. Build houses to grow your workforce and expand your pirate empire. Hunt pirates across the Caribbean and earn bounties , or gamble your hard-earned gold at taverns in cockfights and extreme chess. Yes, really. Every detail matters: if waves crash against your ship, you will slow down. Sail against the wind? You will move slower than a sea pickle. Use three types of cannonballs to sink enemies, break their masts to stop them, or fire grapeshot to thin their crew, board them , and of course, steal their loot. Stealing from a thief? That is practically justice. Rise through the ranks and become Governor, convincing the people you are the best candidate to... collect taxes. But beware , get too greedy, and they will kick you out. SeaCret is now in Early Access, developed entirely by one person , from graphics to soundtrack. And best of all: no DLCs, no microtransactions, no loot boxes. Just like the old days , pay once, and the game is yours. All future updates are free. Enjoy SeaCret as much as I enjoyed building it. Yarrrg!
