Sailors of Steel is an adventure game where you play as a pirate captain to gain control of the seas. Pillage from enemy ships to get loot, and spend the in-game money to upgrade your ships. You may start as a lowly skiff, but given the right captain, you can grow into a mighty Ship of the Line!
Fight alongside fellow pirates (bots) against the royal navy! (also bots) Upgrading lives eventually upgrades the size of the ship. 0-8 lives is a skiff, 9-13 is a brig, and 14+ is a ship of the line. Sink enemy ships to get money and occasionally health. Floating barrels can also be picked up to earn a smaller reward. Naval towers are scattered around the map, and will shoot at any ally or player that goes near it. It has a long cool down time, so it’s mainly used for area deterrence. At any given time, 2 quests are available. One randomly spawns a treasure chest that gives better rewards, and the other spawns a slightly stronger than usual ship with red sails that gives better rewards. Both will start shooting fireworks when you get close to it.
