In mid-November 2007, Akella officially confirmed the date that players will be able to see the masterpiece, the City of Lost Ships, and plunge into this adventure world for the first time. The pirate saga again presents lovers of sea adventures. From all previous games of the line in question, this project has significant differences. Firstly, new ships appear. Travel is not limited to seas and familiar countries. Now the main character will visit the famous Tenochtitlan - the capital of the Aztecs. And also the mysterious place itself, which lies in the name of the game itself. This undoubtedly makes the passage much more interesting. "Corsairs: City of lost ships" also has a new graphics engine, and this has a positive effect on special effects, since they are becoming modern in nature.
Already on November 28 in 2007, all users could purchase a regular and collector's edition. It is the second product that causes great interest. It is offered in a wooden chest, where the player could find, in addition to the game itself on the disk, wonderful objects. This is a fabric map that depicts the Caribbean, playing pirate dice and a parrot. Separately, it should be said about the favorites of fortune; in the collector's edition of the game “City of Lost Ships,” they found silver coins - real jewels. However, in order to experience all the adventures of the corsairs that are presented here, it was not necessary to buy a collector's edition, you just need to get a disk, that is, a regular product, less expensive, but just as interesting.
In fact, the City of Lost Ships is a continuation of the Return of the Legend line. It was developed by two companies in a joint mode and is a kind of look at the world famous trilogy. It is unlikely that there will be a person who would not be interested in watching Caribbean pirates, and in the game he can independently survive all their adventures. This project included everything that could not fit into the previous one. This is due to an outdated previous engine. In addition, fantasies in the pirate theme are so endless that they are difficult to fit even into several games, without losing the story line.
The developers made a significant emphasis on mystical and mysterious motives. They even gave them two full locations. However, the feeling that the City of Lost Ships, the passage and taking of its small peaks is overloaded with mysticism, does not arise. In the first location, the player will have to experience all the fear of the Sinister Harbor, where treasures are hidden that have been accumulating for years, or even centuries. But he couldn’t just come and take them, because they are under the strict guard of the dead. In the capital of the Aztecs, too, there are many riches very necessary for any pirate, but they are also guarded by terrible creatures that are gloomy and come to this world from the mythology of the South American tribe.
It begs the thought that visiting the city of lost ships and Tenochtitlan for profit is too reckless. But a pirate cannot think about his safety when it comes to wealth. And the player managing him helps in every possible way to achieve the goal.
