When we released The Pirate: Republic of Nassau into Early Access in July 2025, we had a clear roadmap leading toward version 1.0. Along the way, thanks to your feedback and suggestions, the game grew beyond our original plans with new mechanics and content we hadn’t initially anticipated. We want…

Very fun game with great hand to hand combat mixed with sea faring cannon fire. A few flaws here and there. Accidentally hit a button and it ends your current battle. Your own fleet blows themselves up with burning oil and gun powder kegs. Recalibrating your sextant every 3 minutes. If had to say one thing it's when the governor of Miami wants 500,000 gold pieces for Nassau to be recognized. You start going from port to port saving up gold and when you finally pay him, literally nothing happens. No special ship or weapon upgrade.. just a big nothing. Basically the game is over once you've battled all the pirates and have maxed out your town. Save the 500 000 and upgrade your fleet with it.

I know this is based on their previous mobile phone pirate series and many of the design choices and limitations stem from there, like most of the gameplay is really going through 2D menus. But this is VR and we want more. Like physically harboring, walking to the shops, taverns, playing darts, dice, drinking competitions etc. VR is presence after all, make it worth it. It's a real big world and it's enjoyable to simply sail at will but realistically to actually progress in the game you'll just use fast travel "sail to" option and the main gameplay loop is really spent on 2D menus. Much potential, hopefully we get more detailed, proper VR mechanics and environments. I want to actually cut sunken cargo with a knife, swim with actual swimming motion, drink a bottle of rum choose my outfit, have a parrot etc

I’ve had this game for about 5 months and the first time a got it I was completely and utterly confused of how to play the game properly. Until now. This game can be lots of fun to play IF you know how to play it properly. There are a lot of cool mechanics and addition’s that add more spice to the game. So if you want the most out of this game please watch videos on YouTube to learn the basic mechanics.

Another first class game from HNG. Fun sailing mechanics, a nice big open world, I can just enjoy the sailing for hours, or slowly progress by upgrading my ship and fleet and island. Good depth with plenty to do. I love the graphics and feel totally immersed. You can hand to hand fight, ship duel pirates, battle or commandeer merchant ships. Truly an evolution of pirates gold. I highly recommend snapping this up early. Can't wait to see where they take this game from here, its already a great game.

Then an update dropped. It made a tedious change to map travel where you have to trace a line with joystick. I was going to suggest reverting it back, but a dev already responded that they were going to do just that, as an option. Wow, that shows the devs care about the experience rather than their own ego… you can tell a lot of time was put into that feature. Thanks for listening and responding! I’m still learning the game, but really see a lot of potential and am enjoying it so far.
