The seas are deadly in the year 1720, as control for the Caribbean fluctuates. France, Spain and England all have forces out on the waters and pirates are not making it easy for anyone to make any headway. In Pirates of the Burning Sea, in development by Flying Lab Software, you can choose to join any of the three nations in the battle for the Caribbean, or you may decide to sail under no colors as a pirate.

Combat includes the tactical mastery of ship combat, where you must use cunning moves and defensive strategies to battle others on the water, or the land-based swashbuckling. Choose from three distinct fighting styles to best your opponent and make a name for yourself as a swordsman.

Pirates of the Burning Sea allows you to adjust your character to your playstyle. You are not locked into a set role. You can be the captain of the most feared ship on the sea, or you can be a humble merchant looking to make the most money around. The choice is yours, but be warned...the Caribbean is cruel, and others will be out to make sure you fail.
