THE HMS BARFLEUR INCIDENT
Curse of the Sea Rats begins with the British ship, HMS Barfleur, returning to England from the Caribbean with a hold full of prisoners. Among these prisoners are our protagonists, four individuals, who, in the eyes of the British Empire, are lawbreakers and must stand trial for their crimes.
Imprisoned alongside them is the notorious pirate captain Flora Burn and her crew. In a daring escape, Flora uses a mysterious artefact, the Eye of the Serpent, to transform everyone onboard into rats! During the ensuing chaos, Flora kidnaps Admiral Benjamin Blacksmith’s son as insurance. Unable to leave his shipwrecked crew, the Admiral asks that you return his son in exchange for a full pardon.
THE MYSTERIOUS EYE OF THE SERPENT
The Eye of the Serpent is an ancient and powerful item comprised of an amulet and a ring. To recover their human form, the heroes must reunite these pieces in order to invoke the artifact’s magic again and reverse the curse. The artifact embodies the concept of yin and yang, of good and evil and was created by the mysterious Shen.
When both pieces are joined together, they allow the user to fulfil any wish. But when separated, good and evil are no longer balanced. The amulet is the good half where Wu Yun, Emissary of the Shen (and the heroes’ guide!) resides. The ring is the evil half, possessed by a serpentine spirit that Flora Burn uses to increase her magical powers…
EXPLORE THE 18TH CENTURY IRISH COAST
Curse of the Sea Rats features over 16 unique and vividly realized environments for players to explore. From the cold rocky shores of Shipwreck Beach to the glowing autumn leaves of Banba’s Forest, there are ancient and mystical forces at work along the Irish Coast.
Each new area the player discovers feels and plays differently from the last with unique enemies to fight and environmental challenges to overcome such as the blistering gales of the aptly named Cliff of the Winds.
CURIOUS CHARACTERS ABOUND
The Irish Coast is inhabited by a huge cast of strange and quirky characters. You’ll frequently encounter members of Blacksmith’s scattered crew, escaped pirates, and local denizens, both natural and supernatural… Interacting with them will give new insights into the world and open up various side quests to complete in exchange for rewards.
Seek out Marcos and his pet monkey, Amelio, to start digging for buried treasure or help Rick escape the life of a soldier to transform him into the world’s most fearsome pirate! There are dozens of characters to meet, and all are brought to life with full voice-acting throughout!

1. Samantha - 1 star
Curse of the Sea Rats for PS5 was a major letdown for me. The graphics were mediocre at best, with bland and uninspiring environments. The gameplay itself was repetitive and monotonous, leaving me bored after just a few hours of playing. The story was also lackluster, failing to captivate me or make me feel invested in the characters or their journey. Overall, I was extremely disappointed with Curse of the Sea Rats and would not recommend it to others.
2. Andrew - 2 stars
I had high hopes for Curse of the Sea Rats on PS5, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The controls felt clunky and unresponsive, making it difficult to navigate through the game. The combat system was also lackluster and lacked depth, making the gameplay feel repetitive and unexciting. Additionally, the sound design was underwhelming, with uninspired background music that failed to set the tone for the game. Sadly, I would not recommend Curse of the Sea Rats to fellow gamers.
3. Michael - 2 stars

The lack of polish was evident, and it felt like the game was rushed to release. The level design was also disappointing, with repetitive and uninspired layouts. Despite the potential for an interesting concept, Curse of the Sea Rats failed to deliver an enjoyable gaming experience.
