Deal | This pirate-themed city builder, with 71% positive reviews, is now 60% off on Steam

Developed by Crazy Goat Games and published by PQube, Republic of Pirates is a city builder set during the Golden Age of Piracy in the Caribbean. An alliance once united several crews in the Caribbean, but mutinies occurred. Your goal is to rebuild this alliance while punishing the traitors.

Thus, you have the opportunity to expand your outpost into a vast colony with more than 100 unique buildings. Your production buildings will also play an important role, as they will allow you to distribute valuable goods to your citizens and other factions.

But your progress could be slowed down by your relationships with other crews and trading companies. To avoid this, you can maintain good diplomatic relations with them and make the right decisions at the right time.

In addition, you’ll also need to build a fleet to conquer new lands and eliminate rival factions in real-time battles. Eight ship classes are available, and you can recruit captains and customize their skills. Finally, if you want a personalized experience, there’s a free play mode that lets you create your own map or play on maps created by other players.

Since its release on June 19, 2024, players have left 524 reviews on Steam, and 71% of them are positive. Many players compare it to the Anno series, particularly regarding the gameplay. Its story and its features are also praised. However, it seems quite repetitive, and some mechanics are difficult to understand.

Despite this, Republic of Pirates is currently 60% off on Steam until August 13, 2026. According to SteamDB, it is priced at $9.99 instead of $24.99, which is its lowest price ever.
