Age of Pirates 2: City of Abandoned Ships

About

Age of Pirates 2: City of Abandoned Ships is a PC-based RPG and simulator where you play as a pirate or naval officer navigating the Caribbean. You spend time in real-time battles against ships and forts, managing your vessel’s upgrades and resources while chasing story quests. A central mystery involves a South American jungle city linked to a vanished civilization, blending supernatural threats with historical piracy. Exploration and combat take priority, with branching choices to align with French, English, Spanish, or Dutch forces. The game’s strength lies in its open-ended roleplay options and naval combat mechanics. Players can focus on ship customization or story progression, though some find the pacing uneven. Launched in 2009 by Akella and published by Playlogic, it holds a modest following for its blend of strategy and adventure. The jungle setting and ghost ship encounters offer a distinct twist, even if technical polish feels dated by modern standards. Single-player focus and a campaign spanning dozens of hours make it a deeper pick for fans of older-school simulations.
