Sea Dogs vs Sid Meier's Pirates!
Side-by-side comparison of features, pricing, ratings, and alternatives.

Set in the 17th century, Sea Dogs lets you start with a modest vessel and choose allegiance to Britain, France, Spain, or become a pirate. The game blends role‑playing, naval combat, and strategy, offering a non‑linear campaign where you can accept quests, trade, or simply explore the seas. As you progress, you can repair, resupply, and upgrade ships in towns, recruit crew, and build a fleet of up to 20 ship types. Customize cannons, exploit wind and weather, and switch allegiances at any time for a truly boundless pirating experience.
Set sail across the 17th‑century Spanish Main, leading a crew of buccaneers through bustling harbour towns and dangerous seas. Hunt for magnificent treasures, unravel clues, and engage in daring naval combat as you chase your place in history. Your choices shape the legend: rescue missions, treasure hunts, and epic battles determine whether you become a celebrated pirate or a shipwrecked castaway on a distant island.
