About game
Staring at a blank screen while your coffee gets cold is a chore you do not need today. Pirate King turns those empty minutes into a high-stakes voyage across a dangerous Caribbean archipelago. You start with a humble sloop, but your path to becoming a legend depends on how you handle the waves. Mastering the art of trade means buying low and selling high across eight different markets. Sudden events like blockades or failed harvests keep prices volatile and your routes shifting. Combat feels just as intense as you maneuver your ship to unleash broadsides against rival vessels. Every victory pushes you closer to commanding massive galleons and ghost ships. You can play Pirate King right here in your browser without any downloads or heavy installs.
How to play
On a computer: W and S drive ahead and astern, A and D turn the ship. The fire button uses whichever broadside faces the target, so there is no aiming to do by hand.
On a phone, hold the virtual stick in the lower left corner; fire, map and time skip sit on the buttons to the right. The game plays in both landscape and portrait.
To dock, come in close and slow down. A port gives you trade, repairs, upgrades and a shipyard. The map button opens the archipelago and points you at the next run.
Progress saves itself after every trade that matters. Pause is the button in the top corner, and it also holds the leaderboard and the language picker. Sound has its own button on screen.
Losing your ship is not the end: you are pulled out of the water, some gold and upgrades go down with the hull, and the run carries on. One goal only — the largest fortune of all time.
