Rating issues

This game features violence against defenceless characters. In one scene, a bound character is beaten for information. He is slapped, kneed and kicked by his captor, causing him to collapse. Gameplay also features combat between pirates, using swords and pistols, which includes realistic responses and blood effects.

There are also frequent scenes of tobacco, alcohol and drug use, with sight of characters smoking tobacco, drinking alcohol and smoking opium. The player’s character can take part in quests to gather the materials to manufacture rum and opium, which can then be sold to increase the player’s wealth and renown. The crew can also be given alcohol to improve their morale.

The game also includes frequent use of strong language (‘fuck’), as well as milder terms.

Other issues

This game offers players the opportunity to purchase in-game items, in the form of an in-game currency, which some parents or carers may want to be aware of. Parents, carers, or other responsible adults should check to see what is being offered before making any purchase on behalf of a child. It should be noted that the game can still be played without the need to purchase such items.

The game also includes sight of corpses, some of which are charred, rotting or covered in blood, as well as sexual references, including to brothels.
