Braveland Pirate
Braveland Pirate is the third and last game of the Braveland trilogy. The three storylines aren’t related, so you can play them in any order. However, I would recommend to play them as they are supposed to be ( Braveland = Wizard = Pirate ). Keep the best for the end : Pirate is, in my opinion, the most entertaining and enjoyable game of the series.

I really enjoyed the first braveland, I skipped the second one after hearing it sucked and then I decided to give the third one a chance seeing how it got positive receiption here on Steam.
You should take this recommendation as somewhere between a half recommend and a full recommend.
So here we go for the pros and cons.
-
Pro
-
The new pirate units you get all have different abilities from the units from the first game, giving the combat a new coat of paint from the first game.
-
Open world. Instead of having to play battles in a certain order you’re more open to choose a different battle instead.

This is exactly the pirate type game I’ve been looking for. It’s the best pirate rpg I’ve ever played. I like the fact that battles are turn based and can be strategically won with only one ship left in your arsenal. Then like a good rpg your ships are resurrected after battle. You are able to battle on the open sea as much as you want because you get a full heal after battle. No need to keep buying ships to replenish ones you lost. There’s fishing that works well as well as botany. You can get upgraded ship designs as you progress through the story and new Islands. I have been playing for 44+ hours and I haven’t even unlocked half the content in the game. This game I will probably play more than 100 hours before I come close to finishing the story. I bought this with the winter sales event so I got it half off, but it’s totally worth more than that because you’re going to be playing this game for more than 100 hours. Bug reports are monitored by the developer and fixed soon after. This is the only game I play every day taking breaks to eat & sleep. It’s easy for anyone to pick up & play. The only thing missing from this game is being able to rename main character, but other than that it a well made great RPG. You get to name the ships you buy so that’s a plus, too. If other Pirate games were made like this, I’d buy them too. I am a fan of Horizon’s Gate too, another similar game to this one, but not by this developer. This game gets better with the Kraken DLC, which i am hoping opens the door to them for adding more content this game. It would be even better and more like Horizon’s Gate, if not all ships you encounter at sea were hostile enemy ships, but great game with all ships being made enemy too….

Turn-based hex strategy games aren’t usually my thing, but I’m always on the hunt for a good pirate-themed game. I initially started the game up to get trading cards and also give the gameplay a shot— very quickly this became my favorite game to relax with after work for the past couple weeks. The combat gets quite challenging, but the overall gameplay loop is very satisfying and soothing, for me personally. The visuals and music are great as well! My only complaint would be that I found the story to be a bit lackluster, but still fun. Great game!

Old Salt
Players begin the game as one of six factions with control of three islands, a fleet of ships and a handful of gold.
A player obtains victory over the other players by controlling 6 islands or being the last ship sailing. There are many routes to that victory but the journey will without a doubt involve sailing your ships, firing cannons, seizing islands, and using faction abilities.
Sail ships
Players can move up to 3 ships on their turn and are able to move a ship up to 3 tiles unless aided by Known Tradewinds
Ships are able to turn in any direction players desire. Think of the movie Pirates of the Caribbean where they dropped anchor and drift a U-turn and outmaneuvered the Black Pearl.
Fire cannons
Step one of firing your epic cannons, count the number of tiles to the target. That is the minimum you need to roll to hit the target.
Step two, pay your crew to load and fire that cannon! 1 coin to fire a single shot. Roll to see if it is successful.
If successful, place a damage token under the target, if unsuccessful, roll better next time.
Seize islands
When seizing an island, a player must first be adjacent to the island they would like to control. Once in position, pay 2 coins for the island along with a mast that belongs to the faction you are wrestling island control from.
Seizing an island that is defended is very costly. For each enemy ship that controls that island within 2 tiles adds 1 coin to the overall cost of seizing the island.
Use faction abilities
When playing with faction abilities, each player selects 1 of the 6 factions to be. Each faction comes with 3 exciting and unique abilities that no one else has access to. These will help players turn the tide of war.
Abilities can cost coins to use or be limited on when you can use them, such as on your turn or when you seize an island.
On the left side of each faction card is an illustration, some adjectives to describe the faction and a quote the faction can be heard saying from time to time.
