Gameplay

Plunder Pirates is a multiplayer game in which players build a base, train pirates, explore the sea, defend against players and attack other players to earn gold and grog, which can then be used to build defences and buildings. The player can complete quests while doing those activities. The game differs from Clash of Clans by being in 3D and the player can control the camera.

Plunder Pirates features a variety of unit classes, each with unique roles in battle. These include tanks, support troops, ranged units, specialists and airborne unit.

Reception

Plunder Pirates received mixed reviews, with a Metacritic score of 71/100 based on 5 reviews. The consensus of reviewers is that it is a good strategy management game that is very similar to Clash of Clans.

Plunder Pirates received the UK TIGA Game Industry Award for best debut game published by a new studio in 2014.
