Reviews for Awesome Pirates

[urnam04]

Good:
1. No bugs or flaws whatsoever- well polished
2. Music, humor, and background details
3. Escalating challenge and difficulty curve
4. Plot

Bad:
1. Missing high scores table. For a game to keep score, why wouldn't you have a high scores table? Also, achievements seem pointless, as achieving them doesn't unlock anything.

Ugly:
1. Could use more upgrades.
2. The explosive cannons were less user friendly than the other cannons. I beat the game with a Angry/Sniper/Angry all maxed out setup. Kinda anticlimactic to have the most expensive cannons not be worth the money.

Overall, a good game and time waster. Its ceiling is a bit limited due to how repetitive the game play is at its core, but it's a very well done cannon shooting game.

Such an addicting and well done game! I guess it's a little bit easy with sniper and angry full maxed, but very nice!

There really should be a minimap, a better way to judge distance to enemies, and a way to skip the animations for the pirates' turn. A zoom function would be great too.

I had fun, but . . .
I think the AI could be re-worked. It was so random, literally. Sometimes it would miss entirely, and other times it would, repeatedly, smash my cannons. Also, I think smashing cannons shots should do less or no damage to the fort. It just feels unfair to lose a third (or more!) of your firepower AND take full damage to the fort.
Some of the weapons could be reworked, a lot of the more expensive ones were pretty useless.
Sniper and explosive shell were the ones that were best, though a lucky chainshot could clear the decks well.
Like I said, I had fun and liked its tongue in cheek tone, but its randomness and unfairness didn't jibe so well.

The ai is inconsistent, sometimes it'll miss a lot, other times it won't miss at all, and some times it'll keep disabling your cannons, and you take full damage every time they disable a cannon, which is a bit unfair, plus sometimes when they hit the edge, they inflict high damage while other times they don't, but the luck does have a good side, a well aimed shot can cause the pirates to fall off their ship, although sometimes they stick on the end but fall off once their ship moves, I don't think that's supposed to happen.
