I hate bringing attention to how stupid I am, but it’s my job, so here goes. They did, however, make me feel like I was back in school, which isn’t so nice. There is over an hour of tutorials to watch, which is nice. Unfortunately, that’s where the “simple” ends. With the money you make from these items, you buy the goods that this new city produces. Once you buy a trade license with a few neighboring cities, you set sail with a ship full of goodies that hopefully, your neighbors are willing to pay a premium for. With your small convoy of ships, you start buying the goods that your hometown is producing.

While you’ll be hip deep in city-building, fending off pirates (or pirating yourself), buccaneering, and naval combat, the real name of the game in Port Royale is trade. I jumped right into the campaign playing as Spain. Port Royale 4 is an economy and trade simulator set in the 17th century Caribbean. Apparently, management won’t let me do that. One for fans that have played at least one of the previous games, and one review for newcomers like me. I’d like to give two reviews for Port Royale 4, the latest edition in the long-running series from Kalypso Media.
