About the Game

Fight for your nation’s supremacy in the Caribbean under French, Danish, Spanish, British or Dutch colours.


Released over 20 years ago, Corsairs gave you the chance to play as a privateer in the service of England, France or the Netherlands, seeking fame and fortune for your country. In Corsairs – Battle of the Caribbean, the strategy game reinvents itself in the ever-popular world of buccaneers, adding a welcome touch of modernity.

Tactical Naval Combat
  • Command a fleet of 12 distinct ship types and engage in tactical naval battles where positioning, ship stats, and ammunition choice are decisive.
  • Use three ammunition types, each with unique effects, to adapt your approach depending on the situation.

Fleet Progression & Upgrades
  • Upgrade your ships, fleets, ports and buildings to improve key statistics and unlock new strategic possibilities.
  • Careful investment decisions are essential to maintaining long-term dominance over trade routes and enemy forces.

Boarding & Ship Capture
  • Engage in boarding actions to fight enemy crews in close-quarters combat.
  • Boarding allows you to capture enemy ships instead of destroying them, forcing players to choose between quick elimination or higher-risk engagements to expand their fleet.

Dynamic Factions & Tactical Choices
  • In addition to the major nations, pirate factions operate as independent third parties, creating unpredictable encounters and additional tactical decisions during matches.

Campaign Mode – Five Nations
  • Play through five campaigns, representing France, England, Denmark, Spain and the Netherlands, each offering its own strategic challenges and objectives across the Caribbean.

Skirmish Mode
  • Jump into Skirmish mode against AI opponents or other players online.
  • Private and public matches are supported, with an Elo-based ranking system ensuring competitive matchmaking.
