Why I Liked Rum & Gun (Best Pirate ARPG Ever)

tl:dr
Rum & Gun at its very earliest was only a diploma project for its creator, the Transylvanian solo developer Borington. It's even built in it's own game engine. If you search enough you can find its old browser based demo versions on websites like armor games. As far as I understand per desktop release it first opened into Steam's Early Access program in 2018, as as of August 26th, 2024 has managed to make it as a fully released project. Currently it sits an an incredibly reasonably 5 dollars, which to be honest maybe makes me feel like I'm ripping the poor guy off because as it stands currently I have over 20 hours of gametime and haven't even peaked in the endgame or finished all the achievements.
I think I even bought this when it was on sale for even cheaper than the already pocket change price point it regularly sits at and I can say for sure it was a substantial purchase and is worth much more. As I said earlier so far I've managed to put a solid twenty hours in, am still looking at putting in more as I'd love to finish all the achievements and potentially try to play multiplayer or build my own maps. Overall huge amounts of swashbuckling fun to be had here.

How to Change Keybinds in Sid Meier's Pirates!
Best way I've found to fix the menu breaking from after alt-tabbing is finding your way to the options menu, unchecking fullscreen, applying, then re-checking fullscreen and hitting apply. It's not perfect, as it's obviously very distorted, and the game effectively has to restart to do it, but it's fine as long as you did a save or autosaved recently.
Interesting! Thank you for sharing this.
NOPE WONT WORK IVVE TRIED 10 DIFFERENT TUTORIALS, IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY
Is it possible your computer hardware does not meet the games system requirements?
Absolutely loved this game. Found this hidden gem in a steam sale a few years back. Played about 50% then had to drop due to time constraints. Hoping I can get another run going soon. Great video thanks for keeping the Pirate video game spirit alive!
Glad to hear I'm not the only one who actually liked Risen 2!
For some reason memories of this game popped up in my head&i had to find this game on UA-cam
The sounds from this game, the cheesy soundtrack and the whistle of cannonballs flying through the air, have persistently repeated in my mind since I was a kid.
Fine, I'll play Horizon's Gate for the 10th time!
Seriously, this is one of my favorite games of all time.
@@harperthejay I absolutely agree!
That video is a gem! This game is full of bugs, but it's so charming, somehow. This video helps a lot! I stumbled on the infinite loading screen a number of times already and everytime it required a different solution. None equal to yours, btw hahaha. That's how I endend up here. This time, I had to uninstall the game to make it work. I decided to leave it here, just as a word of advice to anyone crazy enough to try this game in 2024 hahaha Awesome video!
I have issues with sound, the music sounds rattling, even in game menu mode. Changing OS compatibility mode doesn't fix this. I found somewhere that you have to edit engine.ini file and set UseMM on 0, problem my engine.ini is missing this UseMM entry. Any tips ?
Hmmm, just googling around it looks like the UseMM edit is for the game 'Sea Dogs City of Abandoned Ships' and not the first Sea Dogs game. General fixes for this sort of stuff, try using different speakers or headphones or plugging them into a different port. Update your computers sound drivers within the 'Device Manager.' In the 'Sound Settings' you can change the individual bitrate and Hz quality of your headset/speakers, perhaps a lower/higher setting here will correct the ingame sounds. In the 'Sound Settings' disable and/or enable the automatic 'audio enhancements' options. Your computer might also have some proprietary software that overrides the Windows sound settings, something like 'Realtek Audio Console' that may or may not cause the problems with Sea Dogs sound.
this feels like it was uploaded years ago
ive got 51hr already and im about to start ANOTHER RUN with mods!
Rad Codex's games are really great. More people oughta check em out
Would you recommend using the Prominence mod pack on a first game or is it better for a second playthrough ? Thanks !
I'd say it's probably fine to use it during an initial playthrough, though the amount of additional content could prove to be confusing.
Bought this game like 10 yrs ago and then heard that the Devs went bankrupt so the game was put on halt for years, Now i'm hearing the Devs plan on improving it and making an online game out of it.
My graphics app looks different to yours
What operating system are you using? The video is using Windows 10 but I've just checked on Windows 11 and it looks nearly the same.
I remember that game before in the 2000s where windows xp computer. But can you recall some of the new islands like Moonlight Cove, Nightbridge or Volcano island, new cannon powers like SpikeRoller or even Dumbfire similar like a missile that I never seem before?
Unfortunately I only ever played the 'demo' version of the game that is shown in the video. An unlocked version was in the abandonware download I found but I was unable to get it to function.
you are a lifesaver. worked exactly like you said. god bless bro
Glad to help!
You had me at pirate game channel.
Shiver me timbers!
Thx. didnt work, now it does.
UNABLE TO LOAD SAVES Users who are experiencing a save/load malfunction can try this fix. For some reason it appears the games configuration document has installed without the save folder being named? We'll return to the ini folder but this time open the one named 'mountlist_packed.ini' as a notepad file. Use CTRL+F to use the find function and find the 'save=' code. Change it to 'save=SaveGames' before saving the document. TL;DR \SteamApps\common\Risen 2\data\ini\mountlist_packed.ini file change 'save=' to 'save=SaveGames'
Very cool looking game! Check out Sailing Era if you like these kinds of titles! I prefer pirate themed fantasy as well, Krakens and Cutlasses!
Sailing Era is definitely on my list!
love these videos man keep em going
I still love this game in 2024 and i still cant figure out why
Love it, please make more P101 vids
This game was less similar to New Horizons than it was similar to what my eleven year old imagination was hoping New Horizons would be on the ride back from the rental place.
Avast!
great video again. really enjoy your content keep up the great work
Great video, thank you so much!
My thoughts after watching this. "I don't know if I can handle a game this good." Now I need to rethink my life.
I've looked at your channel and you like the tropical setting? After Skull island we go to a bunch of different worlds but rarely come back to our home world. It is the cheapest though if you were to buy it all ($10) So if you just wanted to try pirate for the aesthetic of the game i'd buy the first book which is $5 bucks and if you like it go for the rest of skull island which would be another 5.
I did manage to play up to the point where I visit Monquista for the first time before the trial week ended. The other sections of game stray away from a tropical theme?
@@scurvybanana We do visit skull island again where we go to a place called portal regal though if I remember thats around level 40. its full of the queens men so we have to hide that we are a pirate to get in. also do you think you could cover pirates of the atlantic or assassins creed black flag?
@@monecue9891 AC: Black Flag will definitely be covered at some point. This is the first I've heard of Pirates of the Atlantic, I'll make sure to add it to the list. :)
@scurvybanana Well, for example, you visit Valencia during the Monquista questline, and that is basically Italy. Then the next world is Cool Ranch, which is themed on the American wild west. There's Mooshu, which is based on various Asian cultures... so yeah. It gets pretty varied lol.
while i cant speak on the pvp part of the game the pve is not pay to win you can get through the story fine with just bazaar gear, the pack gear varies in stats as it's mainly for stitching(most of the best gear is farmed through bosses). while not a great sistem to have in a game, if your playing through the story you dont need to purchase anything from the crown shop
This is good information to know, thank you!
@@scurvybanana np! i think while not perfect both wiz and pirate have very fun stories and are worth experiencing, one thing about pirate especially is that like many mmos it goes the silent protagonist route however the companions you get help give the dialog a good back and forth instead of just having a lot of text dumped on you, it makes the story more interesting imo
Fortunately, the devs have worked to ensure that the best gear in the game has no paywall as long as you have the worlds unlocked or membership. But for some of the most meta builds, some are pay to win. For example, it still costs 30$ to get the best gear for musketeers if you are running a hybrid build, which is one of the best in the game at the moment for pve. I do enjoy that pvp is slightly different than pve with couter builds becoming more and more prevalent. (I.e. using gun-wielding companions with abilities like quick draw (attacks first if shot at) and true grit (attacks if they are hit by an enemy gun) have become more popular due to musketeer being the most popular class.
@@michaelcumberbatch831 true the top tier bulids do tend to be atleast somewhat pay to win but there are plenty of solid builds for the casual pve scene that dont cost a dime, and this is where newer player find themselves most often, while theres always room to criticize and improve i think gear is in a pretty good place
@@dragonkin8442 Definetly is lol, I would say even the free to play gear is definetly good enough to beat the pay to win stuff at least 40% of the time. Gear is definetly in that sweet spot where it's somewhat worth it to buy gear, but the free gear is comparable if not better. I mean, on my max musketeer I have all free gear except for my chest lol. Plus the pet system being more community based rather than pay to win is great too.
pirate is pretty much a lot more free to play friendly than wiz tbh
No boarding? No sword fights? No pistol or musket combat? Why is it so hard for people to make pirate games? It’s not complicated.
In the future I'm planning to do some deep dive sort of videos about this very topic.
the prologue used to be free then they got greedier.
yo as a pirate101 veteran i loved this video and how deep you talked about the game and its features. keep up the great content
I'm glad you enjoyed it. A follow-up video going over the rest of the Skull Island arcs is in the works and should appear in the next few weeks. (it's a LOT of footage to go through)
I got this and it’s great
Pirate 101 was a game i found out existed after finding wizard101, and I loved every minute of the "free chapter" as a kid, going out of my way to slaughter so many of those poor frogs. Out of both games, after getting a dual membership, it was the one I played the most of, as the games overall charm and world captivated me way more than wiz ever could. I agree wholeheartedly with you and everyone in the community that there's too little free-play for both games, and absolutely think the prologue should COMPLETELY be free. With how much content the game has, along with the fact pirate 101 is, basically, abandoned by the KI team, they genuinely would not lose money if they just made the prologue and then the entirety of wizard city (for wiz101) free. 🥲sadly, we will probably never see that
I've heard that the free content section used to go further but at some point they decided to shorten it. Seems like an odd move since as of now it feels like the only thing free is the basic tutorial but it isn't really enough of game to know whether or not you'd want to sub.
@@scurvybanana I've actually never heard that for p101! If that was ever true, I'm actually really curious how far it was. I feel like, at the least, they could make that first part for ratbeard free, where you help all of the poor souls he lied to (if i remember correctly, you can only help one of them. Which honestly as a kid I think upset me because again, I had been so invested in this story and world up to this point) I do always hope that one day more of each game will be free, even with the fact more content and parts of the story are still being added
Nice, I've always wondered about this game and now I'm sold on it to try.
Brigand: Oaxaca features pirates! The DLC is all about pirates!
That's exciting. I've actually had that one for awhile but never delved super deep into it. Is it the Panama DLC that features pirates?
@@scurvybanana Yes, the Panama DLC features quite a bit of piracy (you're not a pirate, you just interact with them). There's not much in the main game until you get to the port town. I loved both games - janky as heck, but one guy basically making his own immersive sim! Thanks for this review btw. The 360 store closes tomorrow so last chance to get the DLC. I bought it anyway despite the negative feelings, but I at least feel forewarned now - so this was appreciated.
It solved, thank you, because of that sub and like.
The looks pretty cool. Can you recommend something similar but better?
The Two Worlds games seem heavily inspired by the RPGs made by Piranha Bytes and while they are still clunky I'd say they are typically better games - the series Gothic, Risen and Elex. I'd say The Witcher series also sits in a similar grouping. Maybe Fable? If you want it specifically to be about pirates it'll be a bit harder, as you'll be stuck with the Risen games and maybe Assassins Creed Black Flag. If you're deadset on giving the Two Worlds games a try I will say they go on sale for pretty cheap fairly often and while its an unpopular opinion I actually had more fun playing the first game than the second.
Bruuh pixelated trash
Pirate 101.
I kinda expected you'd be building up to a "...and so 20 years later I moved near the beach" or "I do a yearly visit to the tropics" lol.
Maybe one of those sentences will appear in a follow up video to this, someday.
Horizons Gate is a wonderful game and I really am glad to see more people talking about it
I found the vid and remembered I already had it in my wishlist so I went and bought it instead of watching the video because I didn't want to be spoiled (-w-) I came back to the video 18 hours of gameplay later and you've done a great job on keeping it spoiler free :o
Thanks for coming back to watch the video!

Holy shit, I was so angry game was abandoned early that I hid it in my steam library. What a surprise
Technically, gorillas diet is strictly fat+protein, about 70/30. They get fat as byproduct of gut biome"work", and protein is from dead bacteria (yes, they have lifecycle too). So yeah, gut biome is vegetarian, gorillas are not. Ditto cows and other ruminants
Amazing game!
