About the game

Caribbean islands; islands full of secrets, mystery and the spirit of romance. These islands are both beautiful and lethally dangerous. Centuries ago the waters of this region were teeming with pirates and adventurers... and frankly, not much has changed since then.

Minimum specs

Minimum on the Steam store: 1 GB of memory, GeForce 6600/Radeon 9800 Pro, 7 GB of storage. Windows only.

The value story

46 discounts in the 10 years on record, a median of 55 percent off across all of them, roughly 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

Rare RPG/Action game as if stalker was made in far cry setting. Many fun quests, beautiful sunsets, seashores. A lot of weapons to customize. Alcohol and drugs, various addictions side effects, leveling, perks and outstanding atmoshphere..It's a pity that such games are no longer made.
