The gameplay consists of two main modes: sailing and land exploration. While sailing, Katarina's ship encounters hostile vessels and engages in naval battles. The player must explore islands on foot to find special items that unlock new areas on the map. Each island is a fairly linear area with respawning enemies hindering Katarina's progress.

The game features an action-packed storyline where Katarina must stop Captain Hawke and his gang, the Crimson Guard, from terrorizing the Pirate Isles. With keys found during exploration, players can unlock treasure chests and search for collectible items.
