Pirate were quite feared a few centuries ago, given the fact that they were almost impossible to track or find out on the sea. A lot of trading ships fell prey to their savage attacks, which meant lost money and sometimes even the loss of the crew. After a while, traders got wise and they traveled in convoys, along with war ships to defend them against a potential attack.

Pirate Hunter is actually the name for Tortuga - Pirates of the New World as it was released in the US. Hence, the game is basically the same with the one released everywhere else in the world, except of course for the name and a few bits of text. Just like the other release, however, the game does not really manage to provide you with a meaningful experience, nor can it keep you interested for more than a few minutes.

To start off with, you can choose from a couple of available scenarios, all of which throw you into a slightly different era, depending on what you go for. As such, whether you start in 1570, 1600, or even 1660, the political landscape oscillates and you have to watch out for the empires that rule the world. The Spaniards, French, and the British are the three main forces, although you can also play as Holland.

Each scenario has a certain objective you must complete in order to win it, such as conquering a certain number of towns for a specific faction. On the other hand, there’s nothing rushing you to do so, since you are free to roam the map as you see fit. However, pirates can give you trouble, not to mention the opposing factions, which can turn out to be hostile if you are not careful.

To make some gold, you can either attack other ships and sack their goods, or you can start trading resources between towns. Since every city can produce something and sell it quite cheap, other towns would pay good money to get some, which is how trading works most of the time. Gambling is also an option, but just like in the real life, you should not put your future in Lady Luck’s hands.

Although Pirate Hunter’s map is quite large and filled with towns, each town looks the same and there isn’t much you can do beside carry goods, or engage in annoying combat sequences. Hence, things get boring rather quickly, especially after your first encounter with the faulty and soul crushing combat system.
