Description

The story takes place during the era of great geographical discovery in the 15th to 17th century. The world is linked by nautical routes, leading to an upsurge in ocean exploration.
Every young navigator of this era dreams of their own ship to sail freely through the ocean. Some seek to change their destiny, others hope to make history.



A real-world scale map, and highly detailed recreation of the ocean, land, monsoon currents, and weather changes form a huge maritime world. Face sudden changes in weather, unpredictable winds, sunken treasure, pirate attacks, and luring danger. And experience a novel and thrilling voyage through the ocean.



Almost 200 unique ports full of exotic local culture to experience. You can resupply, trade, accept commissions, recruit sailors, invest, and engage in many other activities in the ports. You can even form a land expedition team to explore inland!
Prices fluctuate with the situation at the ports, ultimately translating to higher profits. Promote port development through trade and commissions to increase the variety of goods, items, and premium ships available.



You will assume the lives of four captains with unique backgrounds. Over 30 outstanding individuals like British scholars, legendary pirates, Jewish merchants, and Japanese ronins are waiting to be recruited. Use them wisely to bring out the best in them.

Even heroes need trustworthy companions! Help them grow, unlock new traits, and improve basic skills for a greater variety of available strategies to handle all challenges with ease.



More than ten renowned ships from history have been faithfully recreated. Collect famous ships such as the Caravel and Galleon or customize a unique ship of your own.

In a naval battle, use the wind to create distance and switch the position of your cannons, then launch a rain of fire upon your enemies; or do the opposite and enjoy the thrill of sword fighting.



Historical ruins, sunken ships, pirate treasure... The high seas are full of secrets. Explore the unknown, unearth mysterious treasures, uncover ancient civilizations, and freely explore every corner of the world!

I wouldn't recommend Sailing Era. I had hoped that this game might offer a similar experience to 'Uncharted Waters' on my SNES console—an experience that balanced a love of discovery with a need for more traditional

This is an unfortunate downvote. The gameplay is honestly pretty good. But looking at the game initially, what sold me was the idea of the story. The story and characters are just shallow though. It's not bad

A special kind of Game for s special kind of person. Easy to play but difficult to master in one playthrough so be ready for the learning curve. The problem is that you won't know there is one until pirates and missions

This game is great if you want something quiet and you like simulation or city builder style games. You get to customizer your fleet and build a merchant empire from scratch which is pretty cool. Only thing i can really

They took the idea of Sid Meier's Pirates and made it a lot bigger. There's some things I wish were in the game from that, but the game is well worth a play.

The game mechanics are interesting, rich places, but it's getting repetitive as time goes on. Good for those likes sailing and business games to kill some time. The keyboard controls are quite hard during the fights.
