Best sailing game on iOS – The Pirate: Caribbean Hunt Review

This is hands down the best game featuring sailing combat on iOS. The only complaints I have are the dodgy AI and a trade problem when attacked en route. I’ll be running trade between ports to gain money and get a confederacy attack mid-route. I don’t want to battle so I hit the “evade enemy ships” option, and my entire fleet sails straight into an island, resulting in being easy pickings for the pirates. This is an all-around problem; enemy ships will be sailing to attack me and try to sail straight through an island. In open world I’ll have “follow me” enabled, and my fleet will sail straight into an island trying to sail directly to me, instead of sailing around obstacles. About the en route attacked trade problem, when I am running trade routes and am attacked en route, after successfully evading or sinking the enemy the cheap/expensive wares have changed, and I have to find a new destination for my trade items. It’s not that big of a deal, just something that breaks the immersion this game produces so well. Another suggestion would be a “fight or flee” option. When pirates or patrol ships attempt to attack you en route a menu would pop up. If your ships are faster than the attackers, you can just hit “flee” and sail on to your intended destination. If not, you will have to choose “fight” and battle the enemies. All in all this game is so well thought out and developed. I have recommended this to all my friends who love sailing combat and every one that’s downloaded the game has been pleased.
