Pirate Hunter PC

Deep in the South Pacific, the waterways vital to international commerce have become lawless and riddled with modern-day pirates. To combat this ever-growing threat, a team of mercenaries called the Pilgrims have set up business, selling their expertise and protection to whoever needs it.

Their newest recruit is Eddie Jackson, a former US Navy SEAL whose wife was aboard a cruise ship hijacked by unknown forces. No reason has been given for the attack, and no ransom demands have been made.

The Player takes on the role of Eddie, as he comes out of retirement on his desperate search to find and free the woman he loves. The game follows his quest as he fights alongside the Pilgrims against the many different pirate and terrorist factions that populate the area, slowly uncovering clues that lead him to his beloved, and the earth-shattering secret behind her disappearance.

Experienced designer Matthew Miles Griffiths has been responsible for the game's scriptwriting, creatinga deep and immersive multi-threaded story that is filled with intrigue and suspense.

Game features:

25 extensive missions, which feature ship-to-ship battles, island bases and underwater environments

Over 50 modern and high-tech weapons from around the world, featuring everything from mounted grenade launchers to underwater assault rifles

Unlimited computer generated missions

Lush tropical setting featuring gorgeous water effects and interactive scenery

Hidden weapons, clues and objectives throughout all levels make for high replayability

Underlying Economic System means that the Player needs to balance firepower versus finance, making sure each job pays enough to cover ammo, transport and personnel costs

A rich and complex storyline with multiple sub-plots, featuring a huge cast of pirates, terrorists, hostages, arms dealers, allies and traitors
