Vindictus of the Burning Sea sets in the period of 18th century in Caribbean, where players choose one of the four nations(Spain, France, Pirates, England) to start their adventure. Although SOE has announced in September that the game will be free to play, player can't play it for free until the end of November. But honestly speaking, despite of its going to F2P, the game's quality is not worse than that of P2P games. Highly customizable characters, rich gameplay (ship controlling and merchandise), well-written stories, and real time PvE and PvP combat really make the game stand out. But the RPG&RTS gameplay and various systems bring one problem: the game is a little bit complex.

First you should know how to control your ship as a captain. It's not simply the "W, S, A, D" control but you have to know the wind and the angle of your ship. Then you may have to run a port. The prosperity and decline of the port is on your hand and here you can build infrastructures in your port and even adjust taxes. Many of your decisions will Vindictus Gold affect the economy of the port. Speaking of economy, it's really a big part of the game and if you are interested in the game you can learn more details on the official guide page.

Combat is another exciting part of the game, there is ships vs. ships combat, or naval combat, which is a little bit slow but full of tactics. And of course in many missions you can enjoy hand-to-hand combat or avatar combat that allows you to board the enemies' ships and take them out with your swords. PvP may happen anywhere,Vindictus Gold in PvP zone, and outside PvP zone with some limitations, but the most exciting PvP is port battle. In the 24 vs. 24 battle, the attack side who tries to occupy the port should work together to disable the port's defense system while the opposite side will try to stop invaders from entering the town.
