Pirates Outlaws for Negative User Reviews
✓ Enjoyable, unforgiving, and pay to winI enjoy this game, but it has a ‘pay to win’ style that just makes it frustrating..Version: 2.60
✓ Too grindyNice art, but far too grindy for a paid app. You need to play way too many games to get enough gold to try other heroes. Should be giving out three times as much gold for a win. Not recommended..Version: 1.23
✓ A bit too hardcoreA little too hardcore, but most of it is fun, i didnt try the admiral but most of the heros are worse than sword master, which make buying them less rewarding. You really need more work on balance between sheild, hp, reload and enemy attacks, so far sword master is the only hero i manage to finish a game, because most other heros end up having a handful of cards but no ammo to play with. Btw quests are too hard and not reward well(i mean buying treasure map cost more than 400 silver? Seriously? How do you think i can save that many and make it to stage 3), achievement has no reward at all, therefore has no meaning to pursue. It is definitely not the best game for a beginner. Period..Version: 1.91
✓ Fake strategyThis game looks good on the surface the art style is nice the music is so so the base for a real roguelike card game is there but when you get down to it your 100% dependent on rng to get past even the first boss because if you don’t get enough shield cards or damage your dead and since we’re on the cards topic let’s talk about healing cards spawn chances I have played 25 games in those 25 games I haves 1healing card 7 times and I have only had more then 1 in 3 runs this is ludicrous they are almost essential to not die after stage 1 I saw almost because I have barely made it to stage 2 boss with no healing cards and I do mean barley I had 11hp ok ranting done there are a few ways to easily fix this 1. Let players make there own deck from cards they have already discovered 2. Make more random encounters or just pump up the spawn rate on healing cards and 3. Make the markets have more card stock. If the card thing is fixed this game is an easy 4 star maybe even 5 but for now this is where it stands fake strategy simple as you get. Thanks to those that read this far my recommendation for this app is fun for a bit but not to get super deep into..Version: 2.01
✓ Too impossibly hardThe game is a lot of fun and very addictive. I am a decent gamer who is also willing to spend on game I like. However, this game is way too impossibly hard to an extent that it is ruining the gaming experience. The enemy are usually way too strong for the cards, and removing cards or purchasing upgrades are simply too expensive on a cumulative scale. Finally, even if you are willing to spend real cash on boosting your characters there are not enough upgrades that can boost the characters and the ones that exist do not do nearly enough. I passed Skull Island only once and lost 8 times consecutively with different characters. This has become a real frustration. I think difficulty adjustment is seriously needed or you will be driving away even players who are willing to spend..Version: 3.30
✓ Bought it, read the privacy policy, deleted itPrivacy policy gave me zero confidence so deleted the app which was a small price to pay I guess.Version: 2.71
✓ Good game but grindyThis is a good game but it’s a little too grindy, considering it’s a paid app. You should be able to upgrade and level up a little quicker or be able to get gold faster. I would probably play this game more and buy in game DLC if I didn’t get bored after half an hour. Really good game if you have only a few minutes everyday. Also if there is a way to turn off healing the enemy, that would be super helpful..Version: 2.11
✓ 👌👌Good game won’t connect to the cloud though so I guess no paying extra Monday 😂😂.Version: 1.23
✓ TOO DIFFICULTThis game is too difficult and is impossible to play.I only barely defeated the final boss of the first map and cannot push further.Version: 3.11
✓ Too repetitiveDeck can not be managed. Game too repetitive..Version: 1.23
✓ I would like a refundI purchased this game when it still had cost money but now that it is free to play i didn’t get any rewards or a refund of the money i had spent to purchase the game. I feel as if i had been scammed for being an early adapter of this game..Version: 3.01
✓ Great game with glaring flaw.This game itself is really fun, it hooks you and I almost have no qualms with the gameplay itself. The only gripe I have is I wish there were more animations playing during battle, it gets really boring really quickly seeing the same animation for every attack. Not sure how the game got released without animations. My main gripe though is the progression, which seems to be everyone else’s complaint as well after doing research. For a paid game, you should NOT have in-app purchases. If you do, then they should NOT be required. I have played for over 10 hours now and I’m only at 800 gold, the next hero costs 4000 gold. It takes WAY too long to get enough coins to buy new characters. If the devs fixed the progression and the animations I would gladly give this a 5 Star review..Version: 1.23
✓ BugThe game won’t let me launch it it crashes I have tried updating, I’ve tried uninstalling, I’ve tried no internet I’ve tried with internet.Version: 2.80
✓ Fun, but limitedThis is one of those games for people who think that grind is fun. As an example of grind, you can’t seem to deckbuild between games, and then your ability within a “run” or whatever it’s called is incredibly limited. Which means to get all the good stuff you just have to grind and grind and grind until you’ve uncovered all the cards then try to maximize whatever you’ve found during a run. I suppose this prevents megadeck creation but also similar means if you just find crap, well, sorry but you lost through no fault of your own; I guess that’s where you take bad game design and say “no, roguelike!” It’s a lot of fun when the RNG grants you the right amount of good cards so you can feel like you’re progressing but also having risk and you can make actual tactical decisions but I’ve also lost on map 1 a few islands in because well it just came up that way. Might as well just flip a coin; heads, I get a bowl of ice cream, tails I hit myself with a hammer. Roguelike!.Version: 1.04
✓ Good game but...Why is there in game purchases for a game that costs money!? AND the purchase cost more than the game itself!?.Version: 2.60
✓ Great for a little bit but progresses is unobtainable.Same as the other reviewers. It’s a really great engaging game for the price, but the fact that there is no real progress between runs and that you can’t incorporate new cards into your starting deck or perhaps retain an upgraded card or two means that you really are starting from scratch each time and I can’t see how you could get past level four without further investment in the game..Version: V1.01
✓ This game is not workingI been playing this for 1-2 hours and I just realised tht I m not getting the bonuses when I play cards. It’s fun but should really fix this bug..Version: 4.01
✓ Don’t buy anything in the gameI just bought two time the 11.99 offer, didn’t receive anything and my account is 28$ less.Version: 2.60
✓ Killed by iap’sThere is a good “slay the spire” type game here, unfortunately ruined by the iap’s. Ingame Gold (not to be confused with ingame coins) and ingame repute (not to be confused with ingame exp) are needed to progress. Both gold and repute can be gained a trickle at a time by playing the game but to get the needed amounts you will be forever grinding if you don’t spend real money. The game shows a lot of promise and your first 15 minute run will be enjoyable. But after that first run you will quickly see the need to spend money. The game should have been released as free to play..Version: V1.01
✓ Needs more workFor a game that clearly ‘leans heavily’ on slay the spire, there are more tweaks needed to match that game’s balance and replayability. For starters, it’s way too slow to progress. I suspect that’s to entice people towards micro transactions, yay mobile games. Secondly, there are too many moments where you can lose without a chance - the random nature of some of the cards just frustrates. They may as well go all in and stop the forced card collecting. It’s another annoyance that makes this game too random for me to really get into..Version: 2.11
✓ Horrible cash grabIt’s a cheap Slay The Spire knockoff filled with bugs and micro transactions. It’s only a thinly veiled freemium game only now they expect you to pay for the pleasure of grinding for hours in order to unlock anything. Stay far, far away. STS fans - check out Silent Abyss. Best STS-like I’ve found on the store..Version: 1.04
✓ Frustrating, feels rigged sometimesGameplay is pretty fun, and it’s a fine time waster with interesting card combos. However, it frequently feels somewhat rigged. The Tavern Brawl mode is most obvious about it, with round two being virtually unwinnable because the deck is always always always in an order that gives one no good choices. It doesn’t save stats beyond best winning time, but I have played that mode hundreds of times, and only made it to the boss 3 times and only won once. I’ve tried varied strategies, different deck choices, but always round two rolls around and the cards fall in such a way that nothing works out. This is pretty standard for games that include microtransactions, but in the case of this game it doesn’t make sense because there is literally nothing in their shop that would help. They’ve just created an unbalanced frustrating game mode for no benefit. Anyway, I’ve gotten my $1.99 worth out of my original purchase but am going to uninstall now since it’s gone from fun to feeling like I’m at a fixed casino game..Version: 3.31
✓ Please add option to skip cards, rather than forcing us to pick one out of 3Very tough and grindy with the deck getting filled up with unwanted cards, please give option to skip choosing a card, thanks.Version: V1.12
✓ Lost dataI lost 10 hours + of data because of the update... I am not satisfied with my purchase and don’t recommend unless you really like to grind and potentially lose your data every update....Version: 1.82
✓ No way to advanceToo much grinding whats the point?.Version: 1.22
✓ Frustrating game, unknown npc effects?The game is good conceptually, but enemies have random effects that aren’t explained anywhere. I get to stage 3 and all of a sudden enemies are reflecting half of my hp bar from one attack. It’s frustrating when each battle becomes significant. Also, it takes forever to progress. You have to replay the same first level over 10x just to get to the second. Items and rewards for beating the levels also seem pointless because you go back to the starting deck every time you play a new game. I really don’t understand the point of the deck rewards..Version: 3.41
✓ Cheap, pay to winFeels like a free pay to win game. No idea why it's being sold, should be free. Very disappointed..Version: 1.23
✓ Decent rogue likePretty good game all together but is very grindy and extremely unbalanced. Good luck getting through the second boss anytime soon without putting money into the game. If it had a slightly better gold reward system or just less punishing combat maybe it would be more playable. Your boat sinks after moving so many times without spending your gold to repair it which means you can’t use it to heal or progress ever and the biggest issue is you can’t skip on a card when you win an encounter so your deck ends up with tons of junk you don’t want and you have to use your already dwindling gold supply to remove trash cards. Doubt the devs will be fixing this game anytime soon tho. Worth the .99 cents tho but could be improved.Version: 2.60
✓ Too much luck and a money grabI rarely rate games but this deserves some praise and a warning. First, this game could be great. Unfortunately because bosses, enemies and adventures are totally random you can’t plan accordingly. Especially given that the more cards that get unlocked the more random the game becomes. Secondly I would have been happier to pay a few more dollars and not have to grind quite as much. I played for days before barely getting half way to unlocking the second chapter. Then realized you can pay to double gold and relics which should be in the game already. That being said there should be choices each stage and cards restricted on the path to each boss. This would allow more strategy and planning. Choose at each stage the boss you want to fight. If something like this can’t be implemented then I just can’t give it the 5 stars it deserves. Also could maybe find a way to improve the return home instead of continuing to each stage. It doesn’t really seem to do anything helpful..Version: 1.25
✓ Like Slay the Spire with frustrating IAPI picked up this game because I love Slay the Spire and the pirate theme, but so far I’ve found it more frustrating than fun. It seems designed to make you lose unless you pay for upgrades. I don’t know how many times I’ve been in a fight where the cards I’m dealt are exactly the opposite of what are needed. A turn where all the enemies are attacking? I get no defense cards. Need 1 point of ranged attack to finish off an enemy who’s about to kill me? Sorry, only melee and ammo cards. It happens too frequently to be a coincidence. Not to mention the frustration of running out of action points mid-cruise and having to abandon the game. Such a lame mechanic. I’ve put in quite a few hours trying to grind to get better cards and heroes, but I’m ready to give up and just go back to StS. At least with that I feel like good deck management can make a difference. In this game you’re out of luck unless you’re willing to shell out more money for upgrades..Version: 1.71
✓ Too Much RNG to Rely on StrategyGreat cards and imagination and art style in this randomized card game. to even begin a strategy you’ll need a way to heal and enough defensive cards to repel attackers. no sense knowing what your enemies are attacking with if you don’t have the ability to block. your main character will have the ability to block, but not enough to prevent all the damage, so you’re ending every fights with less health. unless you have healing of some sort. and there’s no way to guarantee you have healing, it’s all luck of the draw. you can pick the character who had lifesteal when she’s below half health, but she is unable to block, so she’ll take a lot more damage. she has a dodge chance, but again, you’re putting yourself in the hands of random numbers. there IS a character that has block and guaranteed heal. he costs $5. i almost bought him, but my patience was worn out by the time i found him. if you’re still reading this review to make a purchasing decision, do yourself a favor and just see the price tag of this game as $6. buy the game for $1 and buy the monkey character for $5 right away. if the game has been $6 and included the monkey character as the main character, i probably would have been giving this game five stars right now. it could be a fun game; they made a conscious choice to make fun something you have to gamble for first. 2 Stars.Version: 3.53
✓ It’s a grindBeen playing for awhile now, I thought the grind would some how go away, and I wouldn’t be expected to pay a lot to make progress. But it appears I have hit a wall, and would have to pay to continue gameplay. Which I won’t..Version: 1.32
✓ If you’ve played Slay the Spire, you’ll get deja vuHampered by slow currency gains that seems to push you to buy gold in-game though IAPs and one character locked behind a £5 paywall who’s whole gimmick is to earn gold. Seems like the devs just want your money and are capitalising on the recent success of games like Slay the Spire because this is pretty much the exact same thing. But charging £5 for 10,000 gold when there are several characters to unlock who cost like 4,000-8,000 is ridiculous. Especially considering you earn like 50 gold a run and there are meta upgrades and cards to unlock that also cost thousands. Similarities to StS: When you complete a battle you choose a card to add to your deck. You progress through the map through the branching path you choose and each location is a battle, market or event. The market allows you to buy cards or relics, or pay to upgrade cards or remove them from your deck. You have ability points each turn that you use to play cards that can cost varying amounts of ability points. The cards are essentially the same as StS in terms of their effects (1 point for basic strike attack, 3 points to deal 15 damage to all enemies, etc) You can earn relics that have special effects like StS (and one of them is literally ‘remove two curses from your deck’...). You actually drag your cards onto the enemy or yourself if it’s a buff. You can see enemies intentions (attack and amount of damage, buff, debuff) and can shield yourself from damage by playing a shield card in the exact same manner. Literally a pirate-themed Slay the Spire and I really hope the devs do mention this at some point because it’s so blatant they should at least admit it was almost entirely inspired by Slay the Spire..Version: V1.01
✓ Fun ... damentally flawedThis game needs better play testers, no IAPs, and more frequent updates. With those things it would be a top 5 all-time game. As it stands, it is impossible to recommend. Brutally hard already (which is fine), slowest of slow grinds (less fine), and with a random number generator that suspiciously errs on the side of not giving you things you could be paying for (not fine at all). Add to that the numerous buggy, mislabeled, or simply misleading cards and this is a recipe for frustration. The list of cards I can't use because they have failed to work at a key moment is extremely long. The new content is fine, but I'd rather the devs spent the time to make this consistently playable in a way that actually seems reasonably fair..Version: V1.12
✓ Good. That’s all.Just an average game with mico transactions. If you want gold quickly, you could spend $2.99, or you can play the game and get gold slowly. Playing the game gets repetitive and boring if you’re playing just to get gold, because you’re not guaranteed to reach a market to get more HP and you don’t get enough coins after every battle to buy HP. So in other words, since every battle doesn’t give you enough coins to buy HP, it means you fail and have to start all over again losing all your coins. Which is generally what the game is design to if you’re playing to get gold. Which is annoyingly stupid. Sadly you have to save your coins and fail fail fail fail fail and restart numerous of times. But that’s mostly what all games that are free or have a price tag with mico transactions on the store, do. Game wants you to mange your coins and decide when to buy HP. Again, it’s annoyingly dumb..Version: 3.81
✓ Doomed to failThe game is interesting and has great potential, graphics are great and characters are well drawn. I’m sure new versions will be released in the future with additional content but some things need to be fixed NOW or the game is going to die. The thing that is ruining my gameplay the most is the unstoppable growth of number of cards in your deck. Organising your deck should be made easier!! There is no option to “not pick up a card after battle” and it is impossible to spend money to delete at the tavern because money is so scarse and needed for repairs and upgrades!! I’ve unlocked the second character after grinding to earn the gold to purchase it (1000 gold= 15~20 playthroughs) and I have managed to beat stage 2 of the first scenario a couple of times. You get used to the mechanics after a while and know what cards to pick up etc, but the game is really hard and I wonder whether I will ever finish the first scenario to access the next two?! Let alone unlocking all characters and bonuses (which would make the game easier). For a game that I pay a small sum to play for, I’m surprised to discover that the only way to (SLIGHTLY) increase my chances of progressing is by investing additional money. With no fixes I am probably going to loose interest/hope before any other update is even released! (As are many others) The grind is tedious and repetitive after a while. We need to progress faster or people are just going to abandon and uninstall. Hope my comment gets noticed and changes are made. Great game concept overall. (Also what’s the point of collecting cards? I don’t want to collect the cards, I have only visited the card album once! Give me a real reward: gold or cards I can change my starting deck with, customisation!).Version: V1.01
✓ Really Nice Game, But...I’ll admit, I’m not very good at Slay the Spire, and so far I’m not very good at this game either. That never stopped me from loving Slay the Spire—which this game almost copies in mechanics, save for the nuanced differences—however Pirates Outlaws has some...glaring issues with deck building. More than just having in-app purchases for a mobile game you have to buy, I find the inability to skip looting cards almost as bad. I’m not great when it comes to building a good Slay the Spire deck, but if there’s one thing I learned it’s that deck size and card selection matters A HECK OF A LOT. Maybe I’ve yet to find this games alternative to paying for card removals, and if so I hope to find it one day. Otherwise, due to card RNG and other probabilities, it will be entirely impossible to build any deck of strength AND SIZE capable of consistently getting plenty of coins each run, let alone do well enough to beat this game. Unless you’re amazing at Slay the Spire, then there’s a stronger possibility...I guess..Version: V1.01
✓ Fair for the most partIve managed to beat the first and third chapter but skulls island is damn near impossible. I like the game, its tough but fair. However the final boss for skull island is just broken.Version: V1.12
✓ BoringIt’s literally just the same thing over and over, you have to play the first map for ages and you can’t progress at all and there is no upgrades to help with the overall stats of your character. Don’t waste the money.Version: 2.02
✓ ProgressIt’s a great concept but You spend a while upgrading and collecting cards only for it to all be reset when you die or complete the level. I thought this would be different if I paid for one of the packs in the shop with actual money but all it did was let me look at them in a gallery!.Version: V1.01
✓ BEWARE OF IAPS AND MASSIVE GRINDGame has a nice formula similar to the likes of night of the full moon, but it is covered with IAPPs and a massive grind for you to get upgrades and other characters. Bad move from the devs.Version: V1.01
✓ Money pit !!! Pay to win...Game is ok,if a bit one sided,but progress is so ssslllooowww. Been on 113 gold coins now for 2 hours and can’t seen to get any further. Unless of course you use the in game purchases which I won’t,so will probably delete this. It would have been better charging more for the game and getting rid of them. Only one star guys..Version: 1.71
✓ How dare you put freemium bs in a PAID GAMEDO NOT BUY THIS GAME, DO NOT SUPPORT THIS DEVELOPER!! The reason I pay for games is to avoid the freemium predatory mechanics which are a scourge in mobile apps. Imagine my surprise then when I found out this game is riddled with them. 90% of the content is paywalled behind ridiculously high currency which is earned dreadfully slowly through playing the game but can be bought for exorbitant amounts. To the developers, you guys should be ashamed of yourselves. Fix this!.Version: 4.0
✓ Stay away from the grindDon’t waste your time paying for a Free to Play styled game. It has good gameplay, but it gets old real quick..Version: 2.60
✓ Great game, but a lot of room for improvement.There are quite a few inherent issues with the rng of the game and poor design decision, for example: 1) Getting 3 reloads in one draw. This immediately screws you for a turn or two. Introducing a relic that could control for this would definitely help out that detrimental rng, or making it just an inherent mechanic that you couldn’t draw more than two a turn would make the game more enjoyable. 2) the explorer (left, middle, right) is atrociously designed. You can literally die with full hp at 80 or more... it should NOT bring you back to the very beginning, you should be brought the the last NON-dead end. This would save up to 30-50 hp from exploring in most situations. After dying during great runs strictly due to this poor design I will always pass on them from now on—which is the epitome of poor design because the risk is always greater than the reward 90% of the time. 3) I have not tested out all of the characters yet but I think additionally balancing may be warranted. There are other issues, but these are the most glaring at the moment and I have high hopes for the games future. It is a great mobile game. I’m only being harsh in some aspects because I am a fan and look forward to improvements. All-in-all there is a lot of potential, and for a dollar it is worth purchase, maybe even a micro transaction if reasonable..Version: V1.12
✓ In game purchases problemHello. Ale the game is amazing I’m enjoyed every second of the game till the moment I tried to purchase coins. First I was charged with no coins got refunded then I tried buy it again I’ve been charged 3 times. For one transaction I got coins for one I got refunded but one 0.99£ is still no coins and no refund... Can you please somehow deal with that ?.Version: 1.03
✓ Fun but has bugsIn one part there are 3 bad guys all with attack 5. One of them runs away at the end but the mission won’t end. I can just keep playing forever. Just clicking end over and over..Version: 2.80
✓ Forever grindingI thought since this was a paid game the In game currency could be easily acquired. Oh boy was I wrong. To unlock everything you would need to spend an absolutely ridiculous time grinding over and over again. Even when you buy the 2x repute and experience boost it still would take far to long to unlock anything. How this game can charge money to download then to almost force you into spending money to progress is beyond me. It’s a shame as it starts off so well had so much potential but just like most other games on App Store these days it’s all about them making money form micro transactions. Absolute joke..Version: V1.01
✓ Great concept, lazy executionGreat little game. Simple and fun. But why did you allow beneficial abilities to work on opponents. Or debuts to be cast on me? This was SO simple to trap and make the game swift and playable. Instead one accident can screw up your entire game. Fix these: should not be able to use armor ability accidentally on a bad guy, should not be able to use heal on a bad guy, should not be able to use crab pincer on myself, etc etc. This is just crap testing and obvious error catching. You’ve made it so I have to drag every ability all the way across the screen instead of just picking the cards I wan to play and playing them in the single and only obvious way. Come on, you can do better..Version: 1.03
✓ Way too much of a grindI’m writing another review somebody complained about how it was hard to get New charactersIn the reply and said the max rewards you can get for a successful run was 520 that’s 15 successful runs just about for one character that’s way too much The developer replied it was for a sense of accomplishment and to get people coming back for daily rewards and stuff I thought there was daily quests which there is not I don’t think there’s any sense of accomplishment in pain $11.99 for 2500 Gold.Version: 3.22
✓ GrindI agree that this game shouldn’t have been a paid premium game only to force us into a grind to unlock anything thereafter. You can buy the coin and repute doubler but the grind is still required. Ok, so now it’s only half a ridiculous grind amount. ios should have the option of full paid unlock like all the other platforms. This grind even with the doubler really ruined the game for me, and leads me to think that actually maybe the devs were angling for mobile users to firstly “buy the game” and then buy the doubler with zero cares of what happens there after, because they’ve made their target money for iOS users. That was the plan I think. Well done 👏👏 got me. Don’t play this if you hate grind..Version: 3.81
✓ Pay to surviveYou need to fork over money if you want to get anywhere past the first map or level 20 i. Arena. The RNG against you is ridiculous. (Enemy boss has 50% chance to dodge, he you will miss every time) done with this game.Version: 2.60
✓ MehKind of scummy to pay for a game and have free to play mechanics. Gameplay is alright.Version: 1.61
✓ Sync problemsI can’t login to Cloud.Version: 2.91
