Age of Pirates 2: City of Abandoned Ships (Russian: Корсары: Город потерянных кораблей, literally "Corsairs: City of Abandoned Ships") is a computer game developed by Akella[2], which was released in May 26, 2009. It is the sequel to Sea Dogs (2000), Pirates of the Caribbean (2003), and Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales (2006). Like Caribbean Tales, it does not boast either of the two former games' names, due to legal reasons.

Plot

The game is a role playing game, and the plot is rather open ended. At the start, the player may begin alone, or choose one of four navies[3]:

He or she will then embark on several quests of which some are mandatory.

Gameplay

The game retains many of the gameplay features from the previous games, such as the ability to trade, fight, battle and board other ships, explore, and sail in real time. The latter feature is not compulsory; a player may choose to sail around using the map. There is however a new, faster fight system, and a more complex trading system.[3].
