This becomes clear through the rather functional video tutorials embedded into the game where a text/audio description will not suffice. There is little light relief in the game and it makes no bones about it either. In fact, Port Royale 3 and Pirates! have a number of traits that could make them family in a fashion, although Pirates! is the cool one and Port Royale would be the one that grows up to be an accountant (apologies to all of you cool accountants out there!). If you’ve ever played Sid Meier’s Pirates! then when you first see the map it’ll be instantly familiar. Having raced to get things done, and failed miserably, I restarted multiple times until finally getting into the swing of things and the pace of the game.
Port Royale 3 is all about strategy, planning and patience. Yes, you read it right, six-hour tutorials! This is not a quick game and although a lot of the campaigns are not feeding you facts or information constantly, as some checkpoints take a fair while to reach, there is still a fair bit to take in.

There is also a free-play mode whereby no over-arching story or mechanic has favour and you are free to do whatever you will.Įffectively being six-hour tutorials, each campaign will go into great detail about the gameplay mechanics of the trading or combat aspect. Split into two campaigns – trader and adventurer – the story sees you rise to power either via economic success as a merchant or through domination as a naval power. Set, as all good pirate games are, in the Caribbean of the 17th Century, it promises a new world to conquer and multiple ways of doing so… well, two, really. Kalypso’s latest release in the Port Royale franchise branches out to consoles for the first time, bringing a welcome injection into the rather sparse offering in the trade ‘em up suite of games currently on offer.
