Sea Dogs: Open-World Pirate RPG

Explore the Caribbean, engage in epic naval battles, and uncover a rich storyline in Sea Dogs, a pirate-themed open-world RPG.

What is Sea Dogs?

Sea Dogs is an open-world pirate role-playing game developed by Russian studio Akella and released in 2000. It is set in the Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy in the 17th century.

In Sea Dogs, the player takes on the role of Ned, an adventurer who gets caught up in the dangerous world of piracy. After a tavern brawl in one of the pirate towns leaves Ned with a bounty on his head, he secures passage on a French warship headed for the Caribbean. A storm sees the warship sunk and Ned is the sole survivor, rescued by pirates. This kicks off Ned's journey through a lushly realized Caribbean landscape, filled with pirate controlled towns and cities to explore.

Central to Sea Dogs is the sailing. As captain of your own ship, you travel between more than a dozen islands and towns, taking on missions, trading goods, and engaging in ship-to-ship battles. An innovative wind model brings sailing dynamics to life. You will need to learn how to read the wind direction and trim your sails to maneuver quickly.

Sea Dogs features detailed role-playing mechanics that track Ned's skills and abilities across categories like sailing, fencing, gunnery and commerce. Leveling up skills unlocks new ships and gameplay possibilities. A sweeping 50+ hour story campaign will see Ned rise up through pirate ranks while uncovering secrets about his own murky past.

With its blend of open-world exploration, immersive pirate setting and sailing dynamics, Sea Dogs offers a unique RPG experience that holds up even two decades after its initial release.
