Is Sail Forth worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who enjoy sailing and ocean exploration more than land-based adventures.
- Players interested in customizing a fleet and adjusting ship weapons before pirate encounters.
- Players who prefer exploration with optional open-ended sailing over a tightly directed objective.
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a fast-paced action game centered on continuous combat may find the sailing and exploration emphasis a slower fit.
- Players looking for a narrowly focused campaign may find the mix of fleet management, island activities, and open sailing too broad.
- Players who do not enjoy managing several customizable vessels may find fleet-building a poor fit.
Our take on Sail Forth
The pitch gives the ocean and its many activities plenty of space, but offers little detail about how the central mystery unfolds. Its promise of uniting inhabitants to protect the seas is clearer as a broad goal than as a description of the steps involved.
What is Sail Forth?
Sail across an ocean of distinct regions, visiting islands with different wildlife, inhabitants, and foes.
Build a fleet of specialized ships, then buy, equip, upgrade, and modify their weapons for encounters with pirates. Activities include salvaging shipwrecks, fishing, working with local groups, and using a camera device to capture scenes. The story follows efforts to uncover a secret in the ocean depths and bring inhabitants together to protect the seas and planet. Sailing uses wind and sail mechanics, with changing weather and day-night conditions. Free Sail mode offers ocean travel without a stated objective beyond the horizon.
