Buccanyar

An adventure adventure and marine combat game set in a marine world! Three heroes (heroines) and a crew of evolved cats embark on an adventure aboard their own ship!

Customize and enhance your ship while exploring and fighting in uncharted waters and opening up new routes! Create your own unique ship by combining a wide variety of parts!

Mysterious “gods”, demons, and unique pirates also appear in this epic story of the world’s mysteries!

Buccanyar Features

• Choose one of the heroines (protagonists) and start playing – The Galetta, a small boat with a rare two-tiered spirit furnace. It is a little old, but it is the pride and joy of the boat left to me by my father. Following in the footsteps of their father, the three heroines begin their adventurous journey aboard the Galetta.
• Move back and forth between the two modes to advance in battle and reinforcement – The game consists of two major parts: a voyage mode in which players operate their own ship with AI cats (crew) to go on adventures and fight other ships and sea monsters, and a port mode in which players customize their ship, replace crew, and exchange resources obtained through battles for cash.
• Reinforce your ship and crew for endless oceans – Of course, it is your ship that sails the oceans. First, gather your crew! That’s where it all begins. Once you have hired your crew, you are ready to set sail.
• Build up and customize with a wide variety of parts – Ships can be upgraded as needed. In addition, you can build your own ship by combining the following classified parts such as cannons, small cannons, and various equipment. After setting sail with your own ship, you will be able to play various collectible mini-games such as fishing and collecting.
• Combat is based on a tower offense system – The combat in this title is based on a real-time strategy type system called “Tower Offense.”
• A world designed for repeated play – The voyage routes (=stages) that appear one after another as the scenario progresses and is conquered are generated endlessly by a combination of random elements!
