A good management game with superb visuals, offering enough freedom to let you build your own merchant empire in the Caribbean to your heart’s content.
Port Royale 4 is ambitious and delivers in most regards, leading to a well rounded and beautifully choreographed world. The green tropical islands seem to breathe with life and purpose, a purpose that you influence through a variety of means, whether through trade, nationalism or just blatant piracy.
PORT ROYALE 4 for PC
No. 2 Worldwide of all Pirate-Adventure Videogames
after the legendary No.1 "Sid Meier's Pirates!"
It is a 10 Language Game: Full Audio,Interface,Subtitles
Port Royale 4 is also available for PS4, PS5 and XBOX.
A game that currently has a mix of "good things" and "flaws" ..
the 3D map is a huge step up from its predecessors, with no uploads. In addition, the close-up zoom offers beautiful landscapes.
Turn-based combat gives battles an extra bit of strategy, while city construction has been enhanced with building bonuses and penalties.
What is wrong with PR4?
First of all, the repetitive and not very funny quests.
Competition from rival merchants is not felt during the game
We need more depth in naval battles, more strategy.
deposits are excessively expensive.
Treasure hunts are too simplified by "find the central map piece"
you need more depth of play and strategy ..
The devs have said they will expand and update the game. I trust these defects will be fixed.
but overall it's a good game
Occasionally obtuse and sporting a few UX/UI barnacles, Port Royale 4 could use a little more dry dock time before setting out on the high seas. AI trading bugs and occasionally unfair combat sequences discourage combat, which takes the wind out of the sails of this pirate adventure. Developer Gaming Minds can patch the hull, but they need to do so before people find another ship on which to set sail.
A good trading simulation... and little else, really. Port Royale 4's weak combat system and repetitive gameplay make for a somewhat boring, if functional and honest, strategy game.
Port Royale 4 is a big game that puts all of its eggs into one basket: trading. This leaves other parts such as building and sea combat very basic for such an involved title. If you are into min-maxing and being on top of a great many things to keep your trading empire the best version of itself, you will have a blast in PR4. However, if you are someone who generally likes strategies and wants to have a good time conquering the 17th-century Caribbean, you might get bored due to the lack of other activities to pursue.
Even for the niche audience that this game is aimed at, I imagine this will be too unintuitive and exhausting. With a better user interface and some quality of life improvements, I could see how this game could be enjoyable for everyone and not just history buffs. As it is right now, Port Royale 4 is great for those who love crunching numbers, but probably won't be much for those who want to play a video game.
Игра в лучших своих традициях, но недостатков много, главный минус, однообразность зашкаливает. Второй момент сражения унылые, в третьих автоматические торговые судна катаются и приносят Вам кучу денег, смысла в торговли после пару часов игры пропадает. А так в целом неплохо, на пару дней поплавать. 7/10
Не вижу смысла во многих изменениях:
1) пошаговая морская боевка? Сириасли? Это что, Герои что ли?
2) доводить колонию до голода и еще и отбиваться от флота врага? Не, со старой боевкой еще куда ни шло, но с нынешней это просто издевательство
3) в 3 части был удобный интерфейс, зачем его трогали? Чтобы типа было интереснее?
4) нет экрана перехода на город? Круто. А можно все-таки в кои-то веке сделать хорошо прорисованные модели построек и жителей, потому что в 2к21 пиксельные здания это даже не смешно
Итог: вместо того, чтобы хорошо доработать нормальную 3 часть, ее зачем-то принялись перелопачивать, но это-то ладно, но, похоже, сами разработчики не понимали - на кой они это делают. В популярных стратегиях есть пошаговые битвы с полем боя на гексагональной сетке? Вот и мы так сделаем!
2/10 за отсутствие экрана загрузки при переходе в город (ну хоть что-то хорошее) и интересную систему с ветрами, все остальное огорчило
