Although Tortuga: Two Treasures is very story driven, it is basically a mish-mash collection of missions tacked into a rambling swashbuckling tale, the missions take two generalised forms, firstly a fun but somewhat simplistic sea battles game type; here you take control of various sized seafaring vessels and try to outwit of destroy the enemy. Raising or lowering your sails will of course affect your speed and turning circle and cannons are your main weapons in most scenarios. There are however a number of special weapons which can be bought at missions end using gold accrued previously.
