PCG:It looks like Sid Meier’s Pirates raided Anno 1707 and it plays like Micro Machines with broadsides. Its name is Kartuga, and it aims to be the scourge of the free-to-play high seas. Developed by Hamburg’s Ticking Bomb Games, whose previous title was Europe 1400, Kartuga is a massively multiplayer game in which daring buccaneers zip across sky-blue seas in an arcadey, top-down rendering of nautical warfare.
Before even hitting the market properly, piratical MMO Kartuga has been axed, with developer Ticking Bomb Games closing its doors. Publisher InnoGames explain a shift in priorities has signalled the end of the game, which was "unable to fulfill high expectations" during the closed beta stage.
InnoGames has revealed today that they are cancelling Kartuga, and that development studio Ticking Bomb Games is closing its doors.
InnoGames have just revealed the first ever PvP mode heading to their high-seas action MMO, Kartuga. The 3D action MMO welcomes Domination, the first PvP mode that will see up to 8 players participate in a fight to the death! In typical Domination fashion players will be tasked with locating and maintaining control of unique capture points which are represented by ghost ships
