If Windrose isn't quenching your sealord fantasies, maybe carving out your own Libertalia in pirate citybuilder Corsair Cove will

Soulframe's latest major update is a broadside of pirate weapons, class abilities and outfits, plus falling alien skytowers

Pensive and flamboyant action-RPG Soulframe has just received a new update that adds a pirate class, together with rapiers, cutlasses, and a flouncy sailor's outfit.

The horrible Construct cyborgs of tactics game Menace are getting a rework for "style" and "variety", while the devs put a bullet in the promotion tax

Grim and grubby mercenary tactics game Menace is getting a big update that removes a "not-so-popular" promotion tax, gives all units the ability to clear away wrecked vehicles, and reworks the major Construct enemy faction, deemed by developers Overhype to be "severely lacking in uniqueness, variety, and style".
