Heroin as a Game
Holy moly. I'm way too exhausted to post a real review of this game, after i've binged on it for a good 5 hours. All in all it's a great game. Micromanagement was kept to the bare minimum, which makes the game flow like a neverending stream of quicksilver out of a teflon gravy boat. Fights are fun and tactical, as ist conguering trade outposts and the likes. The dancing minigame is not my favourite, although it doesn't really dampen the high you get by playing this game much at all. I much rather give my enemies a good whacking and make them walk the plank after boarding their ships. The graphics may not be crysis level, but they are colourful and bring the cartoonish pirate style across beautifully. The controls are responsive enough and do their job. One of the things i like the most about this game here is the sound design and music. Both are used sparingly and non-offensive in the best way possible. You get the odd music queue when sailing by ports and, of course, these queues are always referring to the nation they belong to. Sound effects, may the be sparingly used, are leveraged to their fullest potential. Soft winds blowing, calming sounds of the waves, sabers clanging against each other, rumbling canon shots, which smack into the enemy ship with full force, hurling crew and freight into the ocean, whooshing and screaming. I got this on a sale, but even at full price i would more than recommend this gem of a game!
