After two months on the high seas, also known as Windows, the hexagonal turn-based strategy game Pirate Code is now available on Mac as well. Developed by Circuit Hive, Pirate Code depicts life on the open sea, as players assume the role of a band of mercenaries caught in the middle of a war between the most dangerous band of pirates around, and those they steal from. As if protecting your booty wasn’t challenging enough, it turns out the pirates also have plans to open a gate to the nether world and master the dark powers within. In order to thwart such mischief, the mercenaries must become pirates in their own right and turn the tide of battle against the deviant ne’er-do-wells.

Pirate Code boasts a number of seaworthy features, including 20 unique ships to unlock and 4 captains to recruit, each with the ability to teach special actions to ships. There are over 3 dozen islands to explore across a vast ocean interspersed with tons of naval combat.  Circuit Hive also promises “an epic story with unexpected twists” and “custom piratey music”. Players are free to download and try the first chapter for free, but unlocking the full game costs $14.95. Pirate Code is now available for PC and Mac and can be purchased directly from the Circuit Hive website, with a Steam Greenlight campaign currently underway.
