    Explore a massive world with unique islands and landscapes. Discuss rumors and discover the origins of each island by talking to the people that live there

    Expect the unexpected when at sea. Events you may be unprepared for may occur such as a foodborne illness among your crew. You'll need to have access to the right supplies and have the experience to keep your ship afloat

    A casual but real challenge - While simple to pickup and understand, there are numerous events that only an experienced swashbuckler will be prepared for. This makes the game more satisfying for long term pirates

    Thoughtfully executed cutscenes that help to bring the world to life as well as reward pirates that explore

    MORE FEATURES

    Sailing between islands is necessary to expand your control over the world and to increase your reputation

    Tending to the morale, hunger, and thirst of your crew will require you to maintain a supply of food/water and consider whether or not rationing food is required during long journeys

    Governing islands you've conquered is a difficult responsibility as you will need to solve economic issues before they get out of hand

    Purchase larger ships as you fight your way through the sea. Famously powerful vessels such as the Galleon and Man of War are but a few of the available ships    … Expand

    Don’t Sink isn’t a micro-managing RPG experience that you’re going to sink a ton of hours in to, however the time spent with it will be mostly full of charm and provide a decent amount of joy.

    I loved the presentation side of the game because it’s packed full of charm and both the visuals and sound design add something to the overallI loved the presentation side of the game because it’s packed full of charm and both the visuals and sound design add something to the overall gameplay. There are lots of side quests for you to become involved in and you can do them at your own pace so there’s plenty of freedom allowed. If you like humour then you will love this game and whilst it doesn’t have much in terms of a story every bit of dialogue in the game is well written and funny. They’ve made the gameplay simple to grasp and things never get too complicated which means gamers of all ages can enjoy it. The world in which the game takes place is actually pretty big and I had fun sailing around the different islands because they all felt different. I felt the combat to be a little unbalanced and it became a bit repetetive after a short while.
    In terms of content apart from the side quests there isn’t much else to do so if played for long periods you do end up becoming a little bit bored. Does Don’t Sink do enough to get a recommendation from me? Sometimes a game’s art style catches your eye that much that in the end you feel you just have to get the game, and that’s exactly the effect Don’t Sink had on me. I will admit right from the get go that there were elements in this game that surprised me a great deal and I didn’t think I would enjoy the game as much as I did. On the surface this game is about sailing and completing quests and when you complete these said quests you get money to purchase items. You’ll be thinking then that it’s pretty simple and it is but that’s what makes the game so charming. You can relax and enjoy the witty and funny dialogue and the best thing is that gamers of all ages can enjoy what this game has to offer. It’s quite easy then to give this game a very big recommendation because it doesn’t get too much wrong and it offers you plenty of fun and enjoyment.    … Expand
