Pixel Piracy

Pixel Piracy is a side-scrolling strategy game where you run a pirate crew in real time. You recruit sailors, customize your ship's layout and equipment, then sail around deciding how to make your fortune. Combat lets you board enemy vessels and fight crew-to-crew. You can also lie your way through encounters or stick to trading goods between ports. Death is permanent for your crew members, so losing experienced sailors means starting fresh with rookies. The pixel art style keeps things readable during multi-ship battles. The sandbox structure means no set objectives—just building infamy however you want. Works for players who like managing small squads and don't mind losing progress when things go wrong.
