Republic of Pirates city builder hits its lowest Steam price ever with 60% discount

The pirate-themed city builder Republic of Pirates is now available at its lowest price ever on Steam. Until August 13, 2026, it costs $9.99 instead of the usual $24.99, meaning a 60% discount, according to SteamDB.

Released on June 19, 2024, the game has garnered 524 Steam reviews, 71% of which are positive. Players frequently compare it to the Anno series, particularly in terms of gameplay. The story and features receive praise, though some criticize repetitiveness and mechanics that are hard to grasp.

The title was developed by Crazy Goat Games and published by PQube. It is set in the Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy. The narrative revolves around an alliance of several crews that fell apart due to mutinies. The player's mission is to rebuild the alliance and punish the traitors.

Players have access to over 100 unique buildings, allowing them to expand a small outpost into a vast colony. Production structures play a vital role, supplying citizens and other factions with valuable goods. Progress can be hindered by relationships with other crews and trading companies, so maintaining diplomacy and making timely decisions is essential.

Real-time naval battles enable conquest of new territories and elimination of rival factions. Eight ship classes are available, and players can recruit captains and customize their skills. For those seeking a personalized experience, a free play mode lets them design their own maps or play on maps created by others.

The discount is time-limited, and the publisher is not responsible for any price changes by retailers. The listed price was accurate at the time of writing.
