What it is
Sea Legends is a 1996 action-adventure from Nival set in 1667. You sail toward Barbados as betrayal, murder, pirate attacks and international disputes shape the story. The game blends role-playing adventure, fleet-building strategy, sword fighting and naval combat. You can fight animated 3D ship battles, duel with swords, solve strategic puzzles, trade goods and manage your vessel and crew. Building a fleet can lead to confronting the Spanish armada and contesting control of the Caribbean, but the game also allows you to leave the main story and pursue your own adventure, including a pirate path. Sea Legends is single-player and supports Family Sharing. It is listed for Microsoft Windows and DOS; Steam lists Windows with an October 2, 2020 release date. Ziggurat is the publisher, and Steam genres are Action, Adventure, RPG and Strategy.
