Pirates Outlaws Review (zormzorm)
4.3/5 good neo-roguelike card with decent vector graphics and some interesting mechanics. Needs a 'restart battle' button like Across the Obelisk -- too many fights are lost due to uneven random card draws, especially at harder levels.
Other flaws include it being too expensive to remove cards and related inability to skip card pickups. Th game plays hints including keeping deck tight, which is not really an option. Also the monsters and bosses should have more visual/textual hints to remind one of their special abilities. Designers want it to be obscure, but it's too obscure.
Fights can be restarted with new random seed by quitting mid fight, but it's annoying. Absolutely necessary for enjoying the late game: even the best deck with top artifacts and perfect play , one can lose badly to weak monsters -- Tedious and frustrating.
But, overall, good game.
