Uncharted Waters: New Horizons - Action Swordplay & Free Sailing
Daikoukai Jidai II · 大航海時代II
Turns the card-based duels of Uncharted Waters: New Horizons into real-time sword fights and replaces tile-by-tile sailing with smooth eight-way steering.
What it changes
RetchE's hack reworks two parts of the game.
Free sailing. Ships now steer in eight directions with continuous movement and scrolling instead of stepping from tile to tile. They sail at half the original speed, and wind, the ship and its crew still decide how well you travel. Time at sea passes hour by hour, while time in port and resting work as before.
Action swordplay. Captain duels become real-time fights that still use the original portraits, equipment panels and balance bar:
- A thrusts (quick, long reach), Y lashes (balanced), B strikes (slow and heavy)
- X parries, R dodges, L blocks, and Left/Right step in and back
- attacks miss when the opponent is out of range, and matching a timed defense to an attack cancels the damage
- strength, swordsmanship, weapons and armor still affect the outcome
The author notes that AI assistance was used in making it.
