Do not be! This is a very action-packed kind of game and while it does have a fair bit of strategy for you to contend with. While some may be disappointed that it is a naval warfare game. In all Skull and Bones is shaping up to be a truly awesome pirate game.

Getting loot is going to be a very big part of the game and also a very big part of living the pirate life as well. I am sure that working with your friends to try and be the team of pirates that makes it to the treasure first is going to be a great deal of fun.

The backdrop for the game is the Indian Ocean and as you can see from the trailers and images, it looks gorgeous.

It has a very nice-looking progression system (with RPG elements) that will see you upgrade your ship in many different ways.
