Awesome game. Pretty easy though.
I rate this 10/10 but just know that after you get the vanguard the game becomes way easy. The game was hard in the beginning, though, with all those buccaneers raping my fucking ass while I'm just walking around. What I found helps in the beginning or when you are low on money is finding a city "triangle" that are all one day apart from each other. The one I used was Edolie, Horton, Lilium, and somtimes i detoured from Lilium to Luka and back. Something that helps also is getting about 15k and just buying the materials to get the Vanguard, skipping the other upgrades. I don't know how useful the attacking cities feature is, as I never was able to go back to a city after capturing it because I started capturing them late (at the mission where you have to capture for the first time). From that mission onward, I captured every city until the end. Ending boss was really easy for some reason also. Oh and one last tip, in low levels always rob the people on the ground. Picking them up is usually not an option because you don't have any room anyway and they barely ever give you money.
Tip for n00bs *MONEY GLITCH* find a town where you can hire somebody. You must have a slot to hire them. Hire them, then immediately fire them again. You get their armor which is worth something like 6 coins apiece. Then simply just go sell it(the weapon is worthless). May not look like it's worth the time, but hey if you're desperate...
