Blazing Sails

Blazing Sails is a pirate game built around crew-based ship battles and several competitive modes. You and your crew steer, repair and resupply your ship while fighting enemy crews; communication and cooperation are essential to winning.

Game modes

In Treasure Hunt, crews search islands for treasure chests and exchange them for gold at either of the two outposts in the centre of the map. The crew with the most gold wins. Battle Royale combines fights on land with naval battles, and the last crew standing wins. Galleon Conquest drops crews straight into broadside battles in a large Galleon, where you fight pirates, sink ships and capture flags to win.

Ships and weapons

The ships have different strengths and play styles:

• Brigantine: a classic vessel with a durable hull and considerable firepower.
• Junk Ship: a smaller, faster ship with a front-facing cannon for head-on attacks.
• Bomb Vessel: a long-range ship equipped with a unique mortar cannon.
• Sloop: a ship for two players that can take on the larger four-player ships.

Weapons you plunder can also shape your approach. Use a sharpshooter from the crow’s nest, board with the life-stealing Sword of the Sea, or try a shoulder-cannon or fish-launcher.

Customize your pirate

You can customize your pirates and ships with clothing, accessories and other parts, including embroidered jackets, gilded hulls and golden peg legs.
