You control Vyse, the main character and point man for the Blue Rogues, a squad of noble Robinhood-type air pirates. The game follows a complex and rich plot, centering around the Blue Rogues' adventures in uncharted territory. You'll face some tough opposition along the way, including monsters, opposing pirate factions and even a power-hungry imperial government. As the storyline unfolds and the characters go through different events, they'll gain new skills and talents.
Players use the treasure they recover to purchase new weapons, crew members and ship upgrades.
The character combat system is turn-based, in which each member of the team gets to attack, guard, or use an item. At the ship level, you must command your crew members and maneuver your ship to do battle with an opposing vessel. The game's controls are intuitive and the menus are easy to navigate, allowing you to truly get into the action and plot. Beautifully rendered 3D environments only enhance the experience. Parents concerned about the TEEN rating should keep in mind that the game has minimal violence.
