Port Royale 3, developed by Gaming Minds Studios and published by Kalypso Media in 2012, is a trading and naval strategy game set during the 17th century in the Caribbean. As part of the long-running Port Royale series, the game attempts to blend two major gameplay styles—economic simulation and real-time naval combat—while immersing players in the complex dynamics of colonial trade, diplomacy, and piracy. It offers a sandbox experience with historical flavor, combining the economic depth of games like Patrician with the swashbuckling charm of the high seas.

At its core, Port Royale 3 is a game about building wealth and influence.

About This Game
The Caribbean, in the turbulent 17th Century. The mighty kingdoms of Spain, England, France and the Netherlands fight over the colonies. And there you are, a young sea captain whose only goal is to become the most powerful man in the New World. To achieve that goal, you may choose one of the two available campaigns: will you become an Adventurer or a Trader?
If you chose the way of the Adventurer, lead an unforgiving campaign for the conquest of the seas: invasion, piracy, bounty hunting, raiding; do whatever it takes to build your own empire in the Caribbean. And of course, trade will have a less important role to play in your rise.
The way of the Trader is, on the opposite, mostly about developing your riches and your economic power. To be the most powerful Trader of the New World, you have to create trade routes, build industries and develop the economy of the colonies.
Of course, in Free Play mode, you can mix both of those in any way you want, letting you create your own unique and exciting story.
For the first time in the acclaimed Port Royale series, you are not alone in the beautiful and seemingly so peaceful seas of the Caribbean. The Multiplayer mode allows up to 4 players to play through LAN or over the Internet. Develop a successful trading company, lead your ships in beautiful 3D naval battles and force your opponents to their knees!
