Blood and Gold: Caribbean! Reviews

Massive pile of shit

It's like if Bender made an M&B game, with blackjack and hookers!!!

When this game first came out, I thought it was just a Mount and Blade ripoff set in the Caribbean with pirates, which seemed like a cool idea at the time. However, as I continued to play it repeatedly, I realized it was much more detailed and complex than I initially imagined. By today’s standards, the gameplay, mechanics, and graphics are quite simple and can feel outdated, especially at higher settings. Nonetheless, what I love about this game is how it immerses you in the Caribbean during the 1600s, the era of the buccaneers. I truly appreciate this because I don’t believe any other game has managed to bring the player into this specific period of history effectively. While the story is lackluster, the game has a certain charm that allows me to overlook that aspect. The most impressive feature of the game, and what keeps me coming back, is the naval battles. They are difficult to master but easy to learn. You genuinely feel the need for bigger or faster ships to outmaneuver your opponents. It’s always exciting when you finally manage to get close enough to board an enemy ship and seize it for yourself, allowing you to sell it for much-needed coin. I can definitely recommend this game. If you’re looking for a solid attempt at depicting life in the Caribbean during the age of piracy, complete with ship-to-ship combat, then you won’t find a better game than Blood and Gold.

great fun game its like sid meier pirates and mount and blade combined into one
