Freedom is Piracy is a pirate adventure game focused on naval expeditions and story. As a former Marine turned pirate, lead your crew, raid the seas, and return to grow a pirate city full of life. But be careful: the higher your reputation rises, the harder the Marine attacks become.
Freedom is Piracy
SteamA vast sea, rich of resources has been discovered. The Marine wants total control and chase any pirates venturing in. In response, a pirate leader unites crews over the seas. Their goal: build a city to live free and prosper beyond Marine control.

As a former Marine rescued by pirates, you decide to join their cause. To succeed, you must sail the seas, raid Marine merchant ships, and steal valuable cargo. Explore exotic islands for resources and return everything to the city. Your treasures fuel the city’s growth, and your own.
The Marine is a powerful enemy. They have stronger cannons but are slower. They rescue merchant ships if you raid them, giving you limited time to loot. Like a bank robbery, take the most valuable goods based on your storage size and flee when you see reinforcement coming.

This raises your bounty. It updates after a day and you never know its exact influence. If you do a lot of piracy without upgrading your ship, the Marine’s deployed forces become a lot stronger. Stay alert for your growing fame or make sure you have a fast or powerful ship.
You and your pirate brothers’ home begins as a survivor settlement. Looting Marine trade ships and returning cargo provide building materials for its expansion. Convincing new pirates to settle down will make new shops appear, like a tavern, a gun shop or a shipyard extension.

As the city develops, it offers new goods and crafting possibilities, making risky battles and explorations possible.
Seas have an identity. They have unique winds and currents pattern you can learn to be a good sailor, as their own weather and wildlife. Each island has its own rules and ecosystem, from tropical to snowy, mountainous, desertic or volcanic.

On sea, hunting sea creatures means chasing them down before they escape, using your understanding of their behavior. On land, you’re more vulnerable and may avoid fighting to survive.
The heart of your adventure is freedom. Navigate wherever you wish, even in the hardest sea right at start of your journey.
