Gameplay[]
Presented in the style of an MMORTS game, the player selects a custom pirate captain who encounters Jack Sparrow and Joshamee Gibbs where they tell the player that the East India Trading Company is still invading the seas planning to defeat all pirates. Activites that are featured throughout the game consist of constructing ships, training crewmen to fight against enemies, collecting resources to keep their port growing, forming fleets to battle enemy ships and underwater monsters (especially other players), upgrading ships to help defeat tougher enemies, or taking part in limited time events throughout the game. Mostly, the player receives quests given out by Gibbs who tells the player to take part in completing certain goals to gain XP points to reach higher levels, especially when it comes to facing tougher enemies along the way as well as encountering various sorts of resources required to help within the player's gameplay.
In addition to these, players are also able to explore the world of Jack Sparrow and other characters from the film series (such as Shansa) in new ways throughout the game to explore more details of the characters' stories which recap from what happened before, during, and after the events of the official material connected to the franchise (more specifically details recapping the events of the film series) which the player can read to help understand of what happened before, during, or after the events of the film series.
Trivia[]
- The events of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (specifically referring to the events centering on the battle of Calypso's maelstrom) were recapped in an intro video whenever the player starts a new game.
