Get ready for an action role-playing game set in a procedurally generated pirate world, dotted with fights, lost islands, and treasures. King of Seas is now available for pre-order on GOG.COM along with a swashbuckling 20% discount that will last until the game’s premiere on 25th May 2021.

A hefty discount on preorder? That's what I like. I would buy it anyway, that looks like a proper pirate game and Sid Meiers Pirates! vibes are what I crave for. Arrr!

EDIT: 'Steering wheels not supported.' - wow, imagine steering your ship with a racing wheel :-D

Is it similar to Windward?

Pre-order discount, well now, this is one the of the only contexts in which I'll consider pre-ordering anything these days.
Infinetly better than the loathsome "pre-order exclusive content" trend that's been around for awhile.

Okay King of Seas, you have my attention.

I take it there is still no mouse support?

From the publisher a few weeks ago:

"The game is played using a controller or the keyboard only. There are currently no mouse controls in the game. You can try the free demo should you wish to test what this is like!"


I would still like to get this game at some point if this is corrected...

Lost me at "procedural", but that's a matter of personal preference. Of more concern to anyone on GOG in general would be the listing of broadband Internet connection under requirements I'd say...

Regarding keyboard and mouse support, according to an official notice on their steam page: "Keyboard and mouse support are currently limited. Full support will be added soon. "

Yes, thanks for the keeping us abreast.
I'll add it to the wishlist when they add support to the game.

The trailer looks good but when I look at the images. They appear cartoon-ish... Almost has a "Sea Of Thieves" look and feel to the game.

I tried out the demo and the game is OK and could be better but it does have that graphic feeling between "Sea Of Thieves" and "Fortnite." I only played about 20 minutes and the demo is limited to 60 minutes.

Gameplay It's sort of weird... Tthere are depth charges floating around the in the sea and around the island which can cause damage to your ship.

Soon as you start the game, it appears that a XBOX controller is recommnded.

Update as apparently my original post was misinformed.

According to a developer on the steam community forum for the game:

What they meant was keyboard support with key rebinding options not mouse support and that was an error on their part.

No mouse? Yes, I would have bought this one as I do love the occasional pirate game. But a statement saying: King of Seas was designed around the use of a controller, mouse support will not be available in this game, now, or in the future. We will be offering fully rebinadable keys soon after launch, however. published on 13 May by one of the developers - really? What a joke ...

GOG should boot this game from its store. Yes, this is radical yet necessary, otherwise we end up being swamped by mediocre console ports or multi-platform titles with the only working option (not always) being the controller as input device. The other reason is that it teaches developers and publisher the wrong lesson: We can put anything up for sale, because you can still use a controller (or have to) when you wish to enjoy our game ... Is this really what we want or deserve?
