* {{Cap}}: The level cap is 50. You can still earn experience but there will not be anymore level ups. You face the FinalBoss around 40-45 if you never did any sidequests.

It is the UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar. In response to the Confederate seceding from the Union, the Union launched a blockade of all Confederate ports.
You are Abraham Grey, a mercenary for hire making a living in the Caribbean sea. What started as a simple job transporting prisoners thrust you into an untold chapter of the civil war...
Launched for the [=PS2=] and PC in 2007, it has received mainly negative and average reviews.

!!Tropes applicable are here:
*AnachronismStew: Surprisingly averted. Most of the technology (ships and weapons) along with the setting are surprisingly faithful to the time period. [[spoiler:Played straight for the FinalBoss, who has a prosthetic that allows him to ''blast electric shocks''.]]
*AntiGrinding: You gain less experience the more you level up unless you fight stronger enemies.
*AwesomeButImpractical: The Cruiser has ''four'' weapons slots compared to its predecessors which only has one or two. While your first instinct is to fully use all of them, using all of them in conjunction with the steam engine will take up the entirety of your cargo hold despite it being the biggest possible size in the game. Secondly, by the time you cycle to the fourth weapon, your other weapons would have long since fully reloaded, making buying a fourth weapon a waste of money and space.
*BagOfSpilling: InUniverse example. [[spoiler:Regardless of which side you pick, you will get betrayed nonetheless and have all your stuff taken away in a story quest when you get thrown into prison. Your ship is still untouched though.]]
*BigBad: [[spoiler:Governor Nicholas Sharp, who is working with the Confederates to build the ultimate Ironclad to blow up the White House from the sea.]]
*BoardingParty: Once you damage an enemy ship enough, you can make a break for it to seize the ship.
*BottomlessMagazines: Averted. You need to purchase ammo for your guns and ship weapons. Only the basic ship cannons play this straight.
*BreakingTheFourthWall: Your inner voice does this all the time, be it for LampshadeHanging or being your tutorial guide.
*ExplosiveOverclocking: The main purpose of your steam engine. You can use it to boost the speed of your ship to avoid attacks or make a break for the enemy ship to board it. Overdoing it will break the engine and make it unusable for the rest of combat.
*FinalBoss: [[spoiler: The Ironclad ''Aurora'' and Governor Nicholas Sharp. The ship is more powerful than any other ship you will ever face in the game, forcing you to board it to avoid being sunk. On board, you face Governor Nicholas Sharp who suddenly has a prosthetic to help him fight you.]]
*[[InfinityPlusOneSword Infinity Plus One Ship]]: The Crusier. It is the best ship in the game as it has the highest parameters in every category. The only way to get it is through boarding and seizing one for yourself, provided you don't get blown to smithereens first before you can board it.
*InventoryManagementPuzzle: You pretty much have to do this to fit in as many health and energy refills in conjunction with your weapons and ammo. Same applies to your ship's cargo hold.
*LevelCap: 50. You face the FinalBoss around 40-45 if you never did any sidequests.
*ManaMeter: The energy meter. It is used for your active skills.
