About the Game

Chart your course across a war-torn galaxy in Red Pearl Pirate, a unique blend of epic real-time space strategy and deep, turn-based galactic conquest.

The legendary Red Pearl, an artifact of immense power, has been shattered. As the captain of the Red Pearl Pirates, you must scour the galaxy to find its fragments. This is your only hope to unite the free systems, build a corsair armada, and lead a grand rebellion against the oppressive might of the Z-Army.

Red Pearl Pirate features a dual-layer campaign where every decision matters. On the Campaign Map, you will manage resources, engage in diplomacy with a dozen other factions, build up your star systems, and strategically move your fleets. Forge alliances, threaten rivals, or even incite wars between your enemies to gain the upper hand.

When fleets clash, the action transitions to a thrilling real-time battle. Command thousands of ships in spectacular 3D combat inspired by classic naval warfare. Arrange your fleet into tactical formations like the Battle Line or the Spearhead, execute complex maneuvers, and unleash devastating broadsides to send your enemies to a watery (zero-g) grave.

Will you become a legendary pirate captain, a cunning diplomat, or a ruthless conqueror? The fate of the galaxy is in your hands. Hoist the colors and set sail for adventure!
