What is Tempest: Pirate Action RPG?

This third-person pirate action RPG takes place across three regions of islands. You sail, trade, take quests, upgrade your ship and crew, and fight naval battles in single-player or optional multiplayer. Rival pirates, a mysterious cult, and sea monsters are among the threats at sea.
