About game
Command your vessel through a vast tropical archipelago as you hunt for hidden gold and engage in intense naval combat. You need to manage your crew, upgrade your cannons, and outmaneuver enemy fleets to dominate the high seas. Battle of Pirates puts you in charge of every tactical decision from ship customization to landing on remote islands for ground exploration. Navigating these treacherous waters requires sharp instincts when you spot rival ships or merchant vessels loaded with loot. Digging for buried treasure demands careful attention to landmarks once you leave the safety of your rowboat. Building your reputation as a feared captain depends on completing dangerous contracts and surviving waves of hostile fire. You can play Battle of Pirates directly in your browser without any downloads required. Every island holds a secret waiting for your discovery while your ship stands ready for the next voyage.
