There are surprisingly few pirate-themed city-builders. The legendary Tropico 2: Pirate's Cove and Port Royale: Gold, Power and Pirates launched over 20 years ago, and there really hasn't been anything that's hit the same heights since. If you're after an all-conquering, seven-seas-settlement sim, then you've come to the right place. Republic of Pirates is all of the above – a deep and sophisticated pirate-themed city-builder that's directly inspired by Anno and Age of Empires.
And if you fancy some of that, you'll be pleased to know that Republic of Pirates is due this year on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, and can be wishlisted right now on both digital storefronts.
