Our take on Pirates - Digital Strategy Game
The turn-based format leaves the action paced around taking turns, rather than continuous combat. Its focus on fleet assembly and island objectives also gives less room for experiences centered on a campaign or a broader range of activities.
What is Pirates - Digital Strategy Game?
This online, turn-based strategy game centers on building fleets from ships and crew with distinct stats and abilities.
Collect and trade them, then assemble a fleet and choose a home island to begin a match. Maps are generated randomly, and games support up to 10 players, including matches against friends; single-player play against bots is also available. Victory can come from exploring islands and returning enough gold to base, or from sabotaging opponents through naval combat. Cannon attacks use die rolls to damage enemy masts, while ship and crew abilities provide ways to affect the battle. Fleet building and commanding shape the match, which combines island exploration, treasure gathering and player-versus-player conflict.
