About This Game

Sailing Era is an age-of-discovery RPG in the lineage of Uncharted Waters: a merchant fleet, a world map of real ports, and an economy that rewards knowing which cargo sells where. Piracy is one career option among trade, exploration and diplomacy rather than the whole game, and four protagonists carry separate storylines across the same world.

The execution is uneven. The translation is rough in places, the opening hours are slow enough to lose people, and combat is the weakest system in the package. For players who want the genre it revives, the depth of the trade and exploration loop compensates, and there are few alternatives on console. It is a game to settle into rather than dip into.

Highlights

  • Explore a vast open world filled with islands and uncharted waters.
  • Engage in strategic naval battles against other seafarers.
  • Customize and upgrade your ships with various enhancements.
  • Manage your crew, each with unique skills and traits.
  • Experience rich storytelling interwoven with historical events in maritime history.
  • Trade goods across diverse regions for profit and reputation.
