“You've got to be kidding right? When you can get a pirate game as rich and sophisticated as Sid Meier's Pirates! for less than ten bucks why is this tiny primitive little game anything other than a free demo? Even the little it does have…”
“Simple strategy game about pirates struggling for chests full of gold. No base management, no tank rushes - just a maximum of 4 your pirates against many more enemies. Meh, pretty lame.”
