Piracy and Pirate Hunting, Smuggling and Privateering, Seamanship and Combat are one of the most fascinating topics of the Age of Sail.
La Mer, La Guerre: is a pure single player simulation experience built around hauling, combat and privateering in the Caribbean. Cumbersome and impractical controls and systems are avoided. Instead, features are presented through the lenses of simplicity and common sense. There are no “live service” elements, no lengthy unfinished roadmaps. Sea Legends is a simple narrow focus old school gaming experience, where what you see is what you get.
