    50+ hours of addicting, fun, fast, and easy-to-understand gameplay awaits fans of roguelikes in Pirates Outlaws - plus some simple, yet beautiful, and varied visuals, and hundreds of unlockables (and achievements, for those who care about those). The thing is that the whole thing is a roll-of-the-dice kind of deal, not a turn-based strategy that's mainly about skill. Luck always played a big role in the genre, sure, but here it probably plays the only role. Again, this is fun… but it takes a very specific kind of mind-set to enjoy.

I get that roguelikes are meant to be challenging, but if you can never finish after many runs (I think I've done a couple dozen by now) then I think the bar is set too high. Maybe I'm just crap at it, but many of the situations it throws at you seem excessively unfair to me. Note that there is no story and no meaningful changes between runs. You can unlock new characters and areas, but progress for this is very very slow, even though I paid extra for the coin doubler, which is frustrating. Worth buying if you like the card mechanics like me, but don't expect it to be a satisfying experience in the long term.… Full Review »

The variety ofOut of all the rouge-like card games I played in the recent years, this has to be the most addicting and well polished one. The variety of characters to choose from, the art style, the game balance and the interesting quests and riddles on the journey made this game almost a 10 for me.
    Only downside for me is the heavy luck based mechanics that can really make or break a complete run in the harder difficulties.
    Still I can recommend this game to everyone who is a fan of this genre 100%.    … Full Review »
