Russian Kitsch (Sea Dogs)

[Philippe]

The latest iteration of Sea Dogs (Korsair in Russian) is currently available on Steam.

It's probably buggy as hell but I couldn't help myself.

It looks very similar to Age of Pirates II, and it usually takes a while to get the kinks out of the translation.

I wonder what the brothel in Martinique is like ...

IN MARTINIQUE BROTHEL COMRADA DOES YOU!  :))

I own Age of Pirate 2 but have never played it. I was curious whether the recent spate of Age of Sail-ish games would bring that property back soon.

From the little that I've seen so far, this game is probably best characterized as Age of Pirates 2.5.

The graphics are higher resolution, you can play it on a relatively modern monitor, but it just moved from the Russian to the English version, so besides having a lot of bugs the translated parts of the text often read like they were englished by google translate.

I've walked around Martinique and visited all of the locations.  I'd say that it's 95% the same as the Martinique in AOP2.  Could be my memory but the fort seems slightly different, and the dungeon in town is certainly different (no psychotic episodes with skeleton hallucinations).

In about a year this is going to be a great game.  Right now it needs some work.

I haven't gotten a ship yet, and I'm curious to know if some of the more anniyng simplifications to ship handling are still there.

From what I've heard the map of the Caribbean is the AOP2 map.  Could be better, could be worse.
