Pirate's Life

[h1]Did you watch the video?[/h1] Before you click add to cart watch it again because that is quite literally the entire game. This game would have been cutting edge in 1995. Sadly it is about 20 years late. I give them props for trying but this game simply does not deliver. Buy it when it is on sale under $1 because it is barely worth that. [h1]The joys of bad programming/translation[/h1] I got a few hours into it and suddenly it crashed out of nowhere. I loaded it up again and when I tried to load a game it just said leerer slot (empty slot in English). I selected the English option at load but who cares if the entire game is in English? Everyone knows German, right? Of course an empty slot didn't load either and crashed the game. Pfft, who would want an auto save? Or simple logic not to load a null game? That is way to much work. If you get more than a few hours into the game it is already over, what the hell are you still playing for? [h1]Blue line "features"[/h1] Ran...

This is nothing like legendary city-building games like 1602 A.D. or The Great Empires Collection. If you're hoping for a new age version of games like those, run away. It does not offer levels of difficulty, random maps or modes and it has minimal resources. It offers minimal settlement, resource and character management. Map customization or settlement decor options are severaly limited here. You can only play on a solo map that consists of the ability to add/remove palm trees, add/remove a dirt road, and... nope, that's it. The short tutorial that's available in the beginning lacks an emphasis on the importance of building a wharf and having a fleet for raiding early on and the role raiding will play in the early development of their settlements. You will start out with access to nine basic buildings with the ability later on to unlock a total of eighteen on your adventure. There are only three upgradable buildings which are key to how those aforementioned buildings get u...

First of all: I've seen a lot of people comparing this game with Tropico 2. And since I don't have it, I won't be able to make a good comparison; but there are perspectives worth looking at. 1. The graphic: Please, what do you really expect from a game that's just a little bit expensive than a smartphone game? Still a lot of room to improve though (e.g. the raiding scene with the ships leaving the port, instead of just having one ship model with different masts, it would probably be better to have different ship models for different missions to prevent boredom) 2. The sound: Not bad, although it does sounds quite cheap, But again, for 5 bucks it is already a decent service. 3. The gameplay: Very linear: gather resources, raid, repeat. You'd probably stopped playing after a couple of hours, BUT in comparison to big names like the Anno series (I've tried 1404 and 2070) or Banished mods, the production chain in this game are a lot easier to master; the tier 3 buildings rarely need a lo...

Not worth the price. Do not buy this game. Will take you about 1 hour to build everything. And do not play with the game speed because no matter how well you are doing you will at one point get mutaneers for NO REASON WHATSOEVER and it will end your game. I regret my purchase of this game, was not worth the price at all.

Pretty average city builder. You can find a better flash game for free. It really needs more improvement before the price is actually worth it. [h1]Flash Game? Flash Game.[/h1] For anyone curious, you can go to Google and type in, "free flash game city builder" and get results far more satisfying than this game. I have actually bought and played Secret of the Magic Crystal. I had at least a shred of fun with it. Going out to lunch with my racist grandmother who I have refused to talk to in 6 years would have been a better experience than the moment I realized I had actually spent money on this game. [h1]Where Do I Get Off Questioning an Indie Game Company?[/h1] I play a load of Indie games. I am also in the technology industry and have had three crappy games that I made from start to finish, including art, put into production as a free bonus. I did them all in under three days. I did them as a sophomore in college with only a basic understanding of how code even works. One of them...

Honestly just get Tropico 2 if you want a good pirate city builder game. This game is just a worde version of that. The UI is awful, the music is repetative, the resource management is often wrong (telling you that you have none when the carriers are just too stupid to carry). Seriously just get Tropico 2.

For five dollars you cant say much bad about this game and feel good about yourself. You get what you paid for and, to be fair, it is pretty fun. There are some pretty frustrating mechanics and flaws in the game however, but I still would say it's worth the money you spend. Pros - -Entertaining enough to be worth 5 dollars. -Has a semi-helpful tutorial that explains the basics. -Management feels relatively easy and clean. -Graphics arent bad for five bucks, music is bearable as well. Cons : -Tutorial doesn't explain some key things you need to know, such as happiness management -There is nothing you can view that I found that actually tells you why happiness is at a certain level (Maybe each pirate seperately?) -Same Island over and over again. -No autosave -Remember button (To remember set ups for your fleet so you can send it back out immediately) Doesnt seem to work, or I couldn't figure it out. -Auto assigns pirates at random to buildings it seems. So if you have unemployed le...

Game got a bug cant upgrade to level 3 because of max count of items is 80 and level 3 costs 96

I want more. MORE MORE MORE. This game has so much potential. Personally I feel there isn't enough pirate games out there and this game is honestly one of the better ones that have been produced. I am a bit disheartened that this game isn't in alpha or beta as it feels like one of the many alpha and beta games that steam seems to be filled with lately. I really want this game to be improved upon really badly. This game won't take off unless it has more content and more random situations for the players to experience. This is the sort of game you can only play for a couple of hours before you are bored. I want to see this game go further or more games like it. EDIT: Some people are upset that I haven't put a heck of a lot of time into it. For me .4 hours was enough to get a feel of it and post a review. Also don't get butthurt if I don't like your pirate game as much, I enjoy base building games quite a lot and pirate games. Thus this game for me is the perfect combo.

I was wanting to play a game like this, but some Mother Fucking asshole did not make this game right. On the Main Building I was trying to upgrade to lvl 3 and the resources to upgrade is 96 wood, stone was around 50 or something and tools 32. Also on Main Building shows your limits and my limit was 80 resource to all items. I was stuck trying to find a way to somehow get 96 wood or pass 80 from my limit, I build double or triple of every building to see to pass the resource limit and also send my pirate ship out to raid and I had no luck. Now spending my money on these Idiot's Really Fucken Robbed me of my money and yes, I should of look at other peeps reviews. I don't know how steam works or lets these Fuckers sell there fuck up shit that don't work. Steam you need to test there game before you sell there stuff because this is ripping people off. People who made Pirate's Life take those bastards out and not let them sell there shit again.
