Our take on Pirate Defense
The defining detail is the option to get close to the action while defending against pirates, placing the game nearer to its battles than a traditional tower-defense format.
What is Pirate Defense?
Pirate Defense is a tower-defense strategy game set in Bridgewater, a small coastal town whose castle contains sought-after treasure.
Pirates attack through maps with several branching pathways, while tower placement and tower selection shape the defense. The game lets players get close to the action during the assault. Bridgewater’s townspeople do not fully support the request for protection, but the King offers resources for every pirate defeated on the high seas. The objective is to protect the town and its castle from the pirate onslaught. The developer says player feedback will guide future content updates and that updates will address issues or concerns.
