Fan-favorite mobile game Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War is celebrating its 4th anniversary this year. Even more impressive than the milestone itself is the way Tides of War has continued to find new ways to keep its players engaged with one of the most thriving, social-friendly gaming communities on mobile devices. The high seas of Tides of War are absolutely teeming with more action and adventure than ever before, with thousands of players and alliances contending for dominance as they hunt down abominable sea creatures, plunder hapless islands for treasures and resources, and rain cannon fire on their bitter rivals. And for the game’s 4th anniversary, the team at Joycity are rolling out a new update that includes a new ship, two new Tacticians, a new Portrait Frame customization option, and numerous events to partake in. Whether you’re a fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies who wants to hang out with your favorite characters, or just a mobile gaming enthusiast, there’s something for you to do in Tides of War. It offers a plethora of activities and game loops for you to get lost in for hours on end. There’s always a steady stream of new content and items to collect too, not to mention a ton of other players to connect with. In fact, building out your fleet to take on the dangers that await you is one of the most enjoyable aspects of the game, particularly when you start accumulating ships in large numbers. Each ship is upgradeable in several categories, which adds a lot of depth to the experience. Best of all, you can customize your ships to reflect you as a player, adding personality to your fleet with different flags and coordinated colors. You can also admire your ships via the game’s 360 degree view, an immersive way to interact with your fleet. The “Hell Hound” is a powerful new Tier 19 ship making its debut for the game’s 4th anniversary. It’s as fearsome and formidable as any on the open sea. The game is already full of frightening characters and ships, including the tentacled Davy Jones and his Flying Dutchman, and the ghastly Salazar and his Silent Mary. But the Hell Hound is easily one of the coolest, darkest ships you can add to your fleet. Start Playing Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War for Free Right Now!* Includes in-game purchases Tacticians are unique captains that you can assign to ships in your fleet, giving them a variety of stat boosts. They are collected via tactician invitation letters, and you’ll want to find these tacticians to build out a dream team of pirates! They’re a lot of fun to collect, particularly if you’re lucky enough to land one of the iconic pirates from the movies, like Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann. The fact that there will be two new tacticians added to the already deep roster is exciting to say the least. Each of the new tacticians also comes with their own skills and talismans, which allow you to match pirates with different ship types/features for optimal combinations. Not all tacticians are created equal—some come equipped with one skill, some come with three, and all tacticians and skills have level progressions. You’ll need a diverse mix of tacticians and ships with different strengths to be ready for any and all types of missions and battles, so balance is key. Speaking of the movies, there are plenty of easter eggs and references to find throughout Tides of War. By entering Shansa’s mystical cave, you’ll be able to relive many of the franchise’s most iconic moments as well as take part in some of the classic sea battles from the films, which is one of the absolute highlights of the game if you’re looking for a new way to experience the POTC story. I’ve been playing Tides of War for a few years now, and it’s always been a nice way to escape the doldrums of everyday life and get caught up in the world of POTC along with my alliance-mates. Like every good mobile game, Tides of War has deep but easy-to-understand gameplay mechanics that are bolstered by fun cooperative play. The game has been around for a while now, but it’s as fun to play as ever, and its community is always growing.
