Set sail and join one of the colonial powers of the 17th century: Spain, England, the Netherlands, or France, to fight for dominance over the Caribbean Sea. In Port Royale 4, you will become a young and ambitious governor of a colony who dreams of transforming a small settlement into a bustling trading city.

Develop production chains connecting several islands and create complex trade routes to traverse the Caribbean Sea and meet the growing needs of developing cities. Explore the detailed maritime map to avoid stormy weather, cliffs, or shallow waters. Complete missions from your country's viceroy to gain fame and unlock new buildings, ships, and much more. Conquer enemy cities or hunt their ships with a privateer’s license, but beware of other pirates.

For the first time in this series, naval battles will be turn-based. Up to 8 ships can engage in battle, and captains can tactically maneuver to achieve a brilliant victory even in the most hopeless situation.
