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.

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.

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

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.
