About Marque & Reprisal Demo

Explore. Trade. Fish. Whale. Colonize. Fight. Pillage. Survive. You are a sea captain in the year 1522, and the whole world is yours to discover in this roguelike sandbox historical sailing simulator. The demo takes place entirely in the Mediterranean. Wishlist the full game to explore the world. The world of Marque & Reprisal is a fully realized, 164k-hex map of the entire Earth, complete with accurate geography, navigable rivers and lakes, mountains, a detailed weather simulation, and many ancient and natural wonders to discover.

The cities and villages of the world buy and sell different goods at different prices, with supply and demand for goods and specie reacting dynamically to the actions of the player and the hundreds of NPC ships plying the trade routes in search of riches. Fish for many different species of fish! Upgrade your ship and your net to catch more fish, and sell them in the best markets to earn profits. The ocean contains great and mysterious beasts!

There are multiple different whale species in the game, with ecologically accurate ranges and behaviours. Whales breed and have babies, and you can often see a whale calf following its mother through the ocean. Kill a whale with your harpoon and collect its valuable blubber to sell! Perhaps on your journey you will meet colonists seeking passage to the New World. Help them and you may found new cities together.…

No AI in games, at all, for any reason. I can't recommend this until AI elements are removed.

Incredibly excited for full release. I hope in the future we can get rid of the short day length visual affects.
