Pirate Hell

One huge problem . The game crashed and deleted my save data at which point I abandoned it. But I rarely give negative reviews based solely on technical issues , that is to say if the game worked properly I would have recommended it. EDIT: On my second playtrough at the moment , backing up my save file after each tougher mission. So far so good . The dev was smart enough to include the save file location in the readme file , so Im guessing he knows about the issue. Its a cute little pirate game. I have to say it turned out to be a lot more arcade-ish than I originally imagined , especially if played with a controller. Speaking of which the game supports xbox 360 controller , but it does not detect it automatically , you have to enable it in the options screen and it works well enough with it excluding some minor issues sometimes your ship continues to go in the last pressed direction if text pops up on screen. Gameplay wise the game is much like a twin stick shooter. Except you can only shoot fron the side of the ship , yeah no bow side cannons , or at least I havent found them. You have missions to choose from , but the game has an arrow pointing to the next mission you need to do in order to progress the story. There are also side missions that you can get from ports , at which you can also trade. Missions themselves are mainly deathmatch arena tipe , but there is the occasional convoy , town protection or even race missions. Other than that there is a slight city building aspect. You have a pirate nest which you can make better by purchasing buildings which let you buy upgrades ot give you perks. Speaking of perks , your ship has inventory slots that you can equip items in , each item giving you a different perk. One thing I found weird is that the menus and stuff are well made but the logo of the game looks iffy , like they changed the name in the last second and needed a new logo asap.
