** Hearts of Oak: Conquest of the Seas ** is a **non-commercial** PC game that is to become the historical seafaring game to end them all!
Fun, realistic gameplay on land and at sea, set during the Age of Sail, will provide extensive free play, exciting scripted storylines and intense multiplayer scenarios.
Our goal is to allow anyone interested in the era to be able to live their dream!
The gameplay will be similar in style to Akella’s Storm Engine-based games that we are known for modifying, but we intend to take it further and offer more freedom, immersion and authenticity. The player will assume the role of a captain and have full command of their crew, being able to delegate tasks and give orders in the heat of battle. Dynamic hand-to-hand combat will make boarding enemy ships and capturing forts a fast paced, hectic experience. Whether you want to enlist in a navy, lead an honest merchant life, or resort to piracy, Hearts of Oak will offer many hours of gameplay.
Using the power of Unity, and the knowledge and talent of our artists, the game will deliver stunning visuals worthy of tomorrow’s PC hardware. You’ll be able to explore a vast open world filled with highly detailed locations, ships and characters.
