%%

* EvilVersusEvil: The game's major conflict is between corrupt corporations trying to monopolize trading routes and bloodthirsty pirates trying to raid every ship they come across.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: The player starts out as a shipwreck survivor who captains a small dhow before slowly developing into one of the sea's greatest scourges.
* TheMutiny: Your crew will turn on you if their moral isn't kept high enough.

''It is the Golden Age of Piracy. Renegade captains command the most powerful weapons on Earth: warships. In Skull & Bones, you are an insatiable, upstart pirate captain who has refused the king’s pardon. Having nothing to lose, you sailed from the Caribbean to the Indian Ocean, an exotic and untamed frontier full of lavish riches.''

''However, these rich and idyllic waters are also a battleground where far-reaching colonial empires, powerful trading corporations, and ruthless pirate gangs are fiercely competing for their share of these valuable treasures.''

''During your journey to become the ultimate pirate kingpin, you will build a fleet of ships you can customize, prey upon lucrative trade routes, and take down rival pirate captains, memorable characters, or other players. In order to survive in this ruthless ocean, you will have to ally with other pirate captains to form the most influential pirate gang, becoming too big to fail and joining the endless struggle for supremacy of the Indian Ocean.''

%%* ActionGirl: A female player character is this by default.
%%* CoolShip: You can acquire one and outfit with all the bells and trimmings to make it a scourge of the high seas.
%%* EndOfAnAge: Defied. The Golden Age of Piracy in the Caribbean has collapsed, so you've moved to another part of the world to continue it a bit longer.
%%* KarmaHoudini: The goal of the game is to become one of these by becoming so rich and powerful you can't be touched.

%%* {{Pirates}}: You are one of these and the entire game is about becoming an incredibly successful one.
%%* PirateGirl: One of the options for the player character to be.

%%* TheRemnant: Your character is one of this for the Pirates of Nassau.
%%* SpiritualSuccessor: This is one to ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIVBlackFlag'' as not only does it incorporate many of its systems but it is about a pirate who chose to refuse the King's Pardon (the effective ending of Edward Kenway's journey) but continue their career in new waters.

%%* StealthSequel: There's not much stealth about it. Ironic, given the first is a stealth game.
