The debut production of Quadro Delta, an independent Russian studio, is a sandbox pirate simulator with pixel-art graphics. In the game, we play as a pirate captain whose ambition is to become the most famous buccaneer in history. To achieve this, he must not only design and build his own ship, but also recruit a crew that will be able to conquer the world with him during his numerous voyages.
Pixel Piracy is a side-scrolling 2d, real time strategy/sandbox/simulation game in which the player leads the life of a pirate captain.Recruit a crew, outfit and customize your ship and set sail on the open seas. There you’ll use any combination of aggression, diversion and trade to become the most infamous pirate crew of the seven seas! You can raid, pillage and plunder everything in your path, divert and lie to get what you want or trade for a quick buck. Remember to be careful though, death is everywhere and quite permanent! Adventure awaits…

We Got This Covered: 2.5 / 5 by Shaan Joshi
Pixel Piracy has a lot of untapped potential, but it's bogged down by shoddy AI and bugs, and a detrimental lack of in-game guidance.
Pure Xbox: 5 / 10 by Josephine Lawton
Overall, this is a title that is brimming with unrealised potential. If everything worked as designed, Pixel Piracy's customisation options, management mechanics and randomly generated world would be incredibly engaging and fun. Unfortunately, the problems with the AI turn battles from strategic endeavours to long slogs and there isn't as much to do as it first appears. If you're lucky enough to avoid the bugs, Pixel Piracy will provide a couple of hours of enjoyment while you figure out its intricacies and perfect your crew, though we doubt there's enough variation to keep you hooked beyond your first play through.
GameSpew: 6 / 10 by Kieren Hawken
Pixel Piracy is difficult to get into: there is a lot to be learned and lots to remember; namely getting to grips with the vast inventory system and mastering how to keep the crew in check
