Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper pirate game without some great ship-to-ship combat on the high seas, and sure, you could just position your flank and fire away like a loser, but this is Like A Dragon, things can get so much wilder than that. For starters, yes, anyone who played Assassin’s Creed Black Flag will have no problem picking up on the fact that you can ram straight into other ships for massive damage, only here they’re actually boosted by fuel tanks that can t-bone other boats to pieces in a heartbeat.

The real fun begins when you start messing with weapon loadouts, where the typical pirate ship cannons can get upgraded, and in terms of bang for buck, the flamethrowers are ridiculously overpowered in the early chapters, able to melt down most enemy ships in seconds.
