10 itemsAbout the Game
Nova, the once celebrated and now infamous pirate known as ‘La Belladonna’, has been unjustly accused, clapped in chains, and thrown to rot in a cell. Someone out there is sinking ships, and the whole world seems to believe it’s you...
The only way to clear your name is to unmask the real culprit—no easy feat, when you’re a fugitive with the whole Arcomare Alliance sailing in pursuit.
Thankfully, you are not alone...
Your best friend Xander has had your back since childhood. But will his loyalty to the pirates get in the way of your friendship... and of the feelings that are budding between you?
The seductive Don Lorenzo argued to have you imprisoned, but why? As you learn the complex truth of his motives, can you grow from enemies to sincere friends, or even lovers?
Test your skills and strategic prowess as you take on rival vessels in swashbuckling combat! Evade, blast your cannons, and board their ships to give them a piece of your mind. Buoyed by your feats, earn notoriety and unlock new boons to blaze your way to victory!
Features:
Real time ship battles
Pirate boons for long term upgrades
Shipyard for short term upgrades
Plenty of prestige and gold to collect
With easy to learn but hard to master combat, your strategic skills will be challenged!
But fear not - if you prefer easier battles, that can be changed in the settings.
Can you find the secrets behind your cursed fate and save yourself from the gallows? Meet a captivating cast of fellow pirates, minstrels, witches and political adversaries as you piece together the mystery and magic behind your false imprisonment.
