Zombie Pirates

Even at a buck and a half, this game doesn't work. It should not be compared to Plants vs. Zombies, since that is a much better game. That had strategy. Zombie Pirates is basically killing zombie ships and furiously clicking what they drop before it disappears. A dead ship drops a parrot, which can purchase ships, grop, which heals one ship, or a bomb which can blow up an area and may destroy several ships. It's just too hard. Try moving ships and using strategy in your spare seconds. While you're clicking on loot, you may miss healing a ship and it sinks, very easily. Or you miss picking up everything, and even if you do, you may not get a strong enough fleet. The worst are the birds which come out in flock to sink your ships, yet drop nothing. You run out of bombs, grog, or parrots and there's nothing to do but wait for another long load screen to try again and again. You can purchase upgrades, but they are so expensive, it takes a ton of grinding to earn enough gold, which is a sick attempt to extend the length of the game. It's too hard and frustrating and I quit halfway.

If you enjoyed Plants versus Zombies, then you will enjoy Zombie Pirates. The gameplay is very similar, but your plants can sail around the battlefield once they're placed. The next time you see this game for 75% off, pick it up. For less than a cup of coffee at Starbucks, you really can't go wrong.

Pirates AND zombies? What's not to love? Well, the fact that I can't get it to run, for one. I was looking forward to a bit of casual swashbuckling mayhem but the game won't launch, and there has been close to zero forum activity for the game since its release - 10 years ago. One of the few forum posts did mention a possible fix by downloading an un-named something which worked for some and not others, but I just don't feel like going through the effort when there are so many other games to play... So sadly I won't be recommending this one.

It's a Phone/Tablet game (a time waster, as opposed to an involving PC Game), and belongs in that medium.

Well basically Zombie Pirates is one big mini game where waves and and waves of zombie ships come from right side of the screen to attack you and you have to defend yourself using various items like powder kegs, parrots and other ships. Game is quite fun in small doses (like 10 min ) since it's very repetitive and can get boring really soon.

Total blah, but it all works, so there is that. For starters, not a tower defense game, so for me that was a disappointment. That said, it all seems to actually be a game. It starts out a bit confusing, as the intro seems to imply the zombie is the hero, but them once the game starts he isn't. Not a big deal, but weird. Anyway, you have a ship, and you can buy others to join your fleet as zombie ships attack and try to get past you. Most of the ships shoot things, and there are a few upgrades. As you defeat them, the map opens up and you get to fight more. There is a store, too, so you can upgrade things. But it's all very blah.

Fun little casual Tower Defense game with moveable, upgradeable ships and a silly pun-laced story. Not especially ground-breaking or challenging but enjoyable nonetheless. Recommended on sale. - Skinny from the Fat B*stard [url=http://steamcommunity.com/groups/skinnyfat#](curator link)[/url]

simplistic mechanics, repetitive and boring after a very short while. it may ramp up latter in the game but give the simplicity of the game itself. it really should present the more interesting things much earlier on.

A little Tower Defense game. Graphics and story are simple, is very fast to learn and quite easy to play. To win only requires speed of hand and thinking; ideal for kids. Is different from others because as the weapons are ships, can move them. Two serious tips: by its short duration, only worth with a discount of 75% or more, and If you cant run it, read the forum post.

Ahoy, maties! Prepare for an epic adventure as you track down the evil pirate responsible for raising even more zombie pirates from the dead! in all honesty, he's just looking for his lost love, but alas, he is doing bad things for her. Embark on a journey with Jack O'Callaghan, Esmeralda, Pierre and others as you traverse the Shimmering Seas to seven islands wrought with zombie pirates. With various islands to visit, new boats - friend and foe - to discover, and plenty of zombies to murder, Zombie Pirates is a pretty good way to spend some time. Collecting grog allows you to heal your ships, kegs will explode the enemies and gathering birds allows you to recruit more reinforcements! Don't forget to collect pirate treasure in the forms of coins so you can visit the shop for upgrades. They're worth it! I had a lot of fun playing this game for my YouTube playthrough and my Journey to Complete My Steam Library challenge. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys this style of game, but be warned, there are some stiff difficulty adjustments between worlds.

Dull, simple, generic, tower defense game. Feels a bit like a port from a phone game. Overall I didn't enjoy it. We spent 8 hours together which is pretty early for me to give up on a game. Not the absolute worst I ever played.

I don't normally care much for Tower Defense games, but this one was fun. It is kinda short and easy though it can bring hours of fun. I bought this on sale for a few dollars and I currently have around 13 hours of fun playing it, so I call that a win.

I almost quit this game after 5 minutes. Another TD game was frustrating me, this one seemed similar, and the reviews were mixed. It turned out to be not terrible. I stopped playing for the day but then gave it a second chance the next. Yes, it's worse than Plants vs. Zombies but as a lane defense game it's not horrendous. It all goes by fairly quickly and can present challenges without being excessively difficult. The people who complained about clicking all over the screen all the time woul clearly prefer to do nothing, even though that is most of the movement in the game once you have set up a row of defense ships. I would give this game a neutral score for general gamers and say get it on sale if you like lane defense. You might need to follow instructions on the discussion page for how to get it to work. That may have something to do with the negative reviews.

Cant really get into the game, its rather chaotic (shallow micro management). The obvious gameplay comparison to this title is plants vs zombies, which is a good thing. It is not a bad game, but not a good one either. Thumbs down cause of its high price for a flash game and shallow micro management. Which is a shame cause its idea of controlling ships is great. It lacks good and intuitive rts functions and auto formations etc.

Zombie Pirates is a little tower defense game that is a decent time killer at best. I think the demographic is for people way younger than me but I did get some enjoyment from this game. A very casual gaming experience.

Not bad...not bad at all. It's an above average casual strategy game, similar to Plants vs. Zombies. I would say PvZ is superior in every way, this is not a bad game. 7/10

Pretty good game. Similar to PvZ in style. Well polished and worth the price I paid on sale. Nothing spectacular, but I spent a good 20ish hours on it.

The game would only register one keyboard stroke until it ceased allowing any keyboard input. When I finally gave up trying to get the keyboard to work and started a game, I found out that I was going to be called "he" throughout the game despite being a custom named, (assumedly?) faceless captain. Yeah, no thanks. Maybe this is a good game for men who can actually get it to work properly on their computers. Not so much for me.

It's just a casual game, unfortunately extremely overpriced. It may be worth 2€, not 12,99€

This feels like a mobile port. It's a pirate/zombie themed tower/lane defense game. I can't recommend it though for the price they have set for it. It's not a bad game but it's stunningly average and again, it will remind you of a mobile game.

Surprisingly fun casual game. It's a sort of a defense game where you set up your ships and defend/defeat the zombie enemy onslaught. The difficulty was perfect in my opinion; it was really hard to achieve diamond rank in some levels, but not impossible. The variety of ships and characters were entertaining. It has a comic story line and feel which makes it fun to play. I recommond it.

I got this game rather cheap and think its kinda fun. I don't know that its worth a 14.99 pricetag though.

Help Smilin Jack O'Hurlihan, Esmeralda, and Dr. Theopolis defeat Gruesome George, an army of undead, giant monsters, and the mysterious Red Widow! Featuring nail-biting boss battles, swashbuckling adventure, and a horde of undead buccaneers, Zombie Pirates will send a shiver right down to yer timbers! Jack's battles will take him from the Carribbean-like Buccaneer Bay to the savage Cannibal Isles, the mysterious Sargassum Sea, and the icy reaches of Polaris, battling zombies and nefarious boss monsters along the way. Jack is joined by Dr. Theopolis and his marvelous gryocopters and submarines, Esmeralda and her all-gal crew of the Manta, and a number of other strange and amazing vessels. Jack will need all the help he can get, for the Zombie Pirate fleets contain everything from Plague Ships to hulking Dreadnoughts to screeching flocks of Murder Birds! And behind them all is the captain of the undead, Gruesome George!

Great game for people who don't have alot of time to play a long game. Its also really fun in a way to.

Eh, it's an okay Tower D game, but there are much better ones out there.
