Take over islands, defend your town, build up your reputation, fight off threats – but most importantly Don’t Sink!
Don’t Sink is the latest game to come out of Studio Eris and will task you with traversing the high seas in your trusty boat, ultimately expanding your reputation across the world as a well-known pirate. The world really is your oyster, with a number of colourful islands to explore, purchase and assume as your own. But you are not the only ones who want a piece of the action, and your own pirate crew will have to fight against rival pirates, engaging in naval combat and occasionally getting up close and personal with some traditional sword fighting.
An army, or in this case a pirate crew, marches on its stomach, and you will have to not only manage the hunger of your crew but also many other conditions, as well as ensuring your ship is in top shape ahead of your next altercation. Buying and selling goods from the shopkeeps found on islands will be necessary in order for your crew and ship to operate at their optimum.
With many beautiful places to explore and a number of people to help out along the way, Don’t Sink will let you play out a pirate fantasy where not everything is about plundering and fighting. To start your pirate story all you need is to spend £8.39 at the Xbox Store and the game will magically be yours on Xbox One. Alternatively the game can be played on PC.
Game Description:
GAMEPLAY • 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
