Set Sail - Caribbean

Boats are still one of the most important means of transportation when it comes to moving goods across big distances. However, they evolved a lot over the centuries, given the fact that they can now carry thousands of tons and move at decent speeds. Granted, they also use big engines that require a lot of fuel, which is not great for the environment.

Set Sail - Caribbean is a time management game in which you play the role of a girl who tries to save her family from a huge debt. The gameplay mechanics are a combination of drag & drop and a bit of puzzle solving, but it can get a bit tedious and boring after a while. In fact, very little changes along the way, which is not good news in a time management flick.

The girl’s name is Catherine, and she is the daughter of the Caribbean governor. Her dad gets in trouble when he gets in deep with the creditors, which means that Catherine must do something to help. Her idea is to open a boat-building business and repair the ships that come to the island, and your job is to help her by managing the business as efficiently as possible.

Just like in most time management games, speed is important, because things tend to keep moving even without your input. Boats come into the port on a regular basis, but they only wait for a few seconds before they leave. Sometimes it’s important to carefully pick your customers, given the fact that some of them require repairs that you may not be able to afford.

Speaking of which, most of your facilities can be upgraded to unlock better services, or in order to speed up the process. It obviously costs money, but there are a few ways you can acquire gold or various other resources, such as trading one for the other. Lastly, the graphics are not too bad either, although the maps could be a bit more diverse.

In the end, Set Sail - Caribbean tries to be different from the rest of the games in the genre, but it doesn’t really make it. Hence, the end result is a bit too boring, slow and repetitive to help you have a good time.
