Sea Dogs

Historical setting

An open-ended 17th-century pirate RPG where you sail your own ship, fight naval battles, trade and visit ports, and choose freely between serving a nation or going pirate.

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

Historical setting

A sprawling sandbox in pseudo-medieval Calradia where you rise from lone mercenary to ruler, fighting massive battles personally with directional melee and mounted combat. Army management, trade, politics and sieges intertwine to create emergent stories of conquest.

Caribbean Legend

Historical setting

An open-world pirate RPG set in the Golden Age of Caribbean piracy, where you plunder ships and cities, hunt treasure, and carve out your own path to freedom. It leans on classic pirate sandbox games with naval combat, trade and discovery.

Mount & Blade: Warband

Historical setting

An open medieval sandbox where you rise from nobody to warlord, recruiting an army and fighting alongside it in directional real-time melee and mounted combat. Feudal politics, sieges and kingdom-building turn every campaign into your own emergent saga.

Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword

Historical setting

A sandbox warfare game set in 17th-century Eastern Europe: you lead a mercenary band, fight in real time with sword, horse and musket, and conquer castles and provinces. The mix of hands-on battlefield action and kingdom building is its draw.

Rise of Piracy

Lots to discover

You start as the captain of a small ship and grow into the commander of a feared pirate fleet through trading, naval combat, recruiting and conquest. It mixes real-time strategy with sea adventure and 4X elements in an open world.

Crusader Kings II

Choices with consequences

A medieval grand strategy game where you guide a dynasty rather than a nation across generations, navigating marriages, succession crises, plots and assassinations. Its systems generate memorable, often darkly absurd emergent stories.

Mount & Blade

Sandbox with your own goals

An open medieval sandbox where you rise from a lone wanderer to a warlord, recruiting troops and fighting in skill-based mounted battles. Its directional melee and cavalry combat are the heart of the experience.
