Solitaire Legend of the Pirates

[i](note: since the game is pretty much identical to the developer's other solitaire games, my reviews are also very similar.)[/i] the usual +1/-1 solitaire with two gameplay modes, one lets you replay individual levels (my preference), the other only entire sets of 10 levels, and you can only start pro mode after playing a bit on newbie. there are 120 levels and completion depends on removing the gold cards, so much so that when you click on the last one, the round ends with a perfect rating, no matter how many cards are left. it's kind of weird because you might miss out on some extra money, but there's a lot of it anyway and you only need it for power-ups, so it's not a huge deal. there are 3 helpers (undo, joker and shuffle), and undo is 'universal' instead of per level, which I'm not a fan of, it makes levels a lot more difficult (or frustrating), but there's something to spend money on, at least, and since you can do so anytime while playing, it can also trivialize levels. as ...

Solitaire Legend of the Pirates is a basic mobile-app like solitaire puzzle game. Solve various puzzle levels using Klondike style card moving and matching. It's been done a million times before, for free, and free on mobile app stores too... yet this one has a hefty price tag on it. Who knew you can just charge $5 for mobile trash? I guess Creobit does. The developer, Creobit/8Floor, has copy + pasted this game an insane SEVENTY FOUR TIMES onto Steam with minor reskins... why cash in on one asset if you can cash in on multiple copies of the same game? Asset flipping begins at home! Here's a list of Creobit's copy + pastes of this asset: [list] [*] Dangerous Solitaire. Zombie Fever [*] Dark Solitaire. Mystical Circus [*] Detective Solitaire Inspector Magic and the Man Without Face [*] Detective Solitaire Inspector Magic [*] Detective Solitaire The Ghost Agency 1 + 2 [*] Detective Solitaire. Butler Story 1 + 2 [*] Detective Solitaire: Inspector Magic And The Forbidden Magic [*] E...

Very good solitaire game.

Nice game

This is much like any other solitaire game, except maybe a bit harder. Some layouts are tricky, if you want to get a perfect score. I liked this enough to play through both modes with perfect scores. There are no Steam achievements, but there are in-game achievements. The normal price is a bit high. I think I paid something like €0,80 for this, which was a fair price.

Full disclosure: I got this game on sale for .49 cents USD. And, being generous, it's worth about that. The music is pretty enough, even beautiful in places. But for the first time the card front and backs were just OK while playing. Different layouts to be sure, but the same mechanic of making you grind for cash if the RNG Gods don't smile on you. Some hands were literally unwinnable. I mean, there was no way to win with the cards given. Then it becomes a mind-numbing application of jokers, which isn't much fun. I think maybe at one point this studio cared, and maybe they still do. But the mechanic of having to grind just isn't fun. And the backgrounds just left me meh this time. This one is definitely a miss with me, even on sale.
