Pros
- Simple, cute, fun.
- Pretty high replay value.
- Nice selection sound in the menu; reminds me of many good retro games.
Neutral
- Not too difficult to get all 30 achievements in one playthrough. This is either a pro or a con depending on your preferred playstyle!
Cons
- The tutorial doesn't extend nearly long enough to tell you what you need to know to survive, or even cool things, like how to properly catch an animal by equipping an animal cage in your ranged attack slot and attacking it from a distance.
- The game should have more hotkeys, or ways to add your own. I don't like having to use the mouse to click the dig button when a keyboard shortcut would make more sense.
- The sound effects can get a bit tedious, especially the varying-in-volume tavern banter, even though it's cute.
- You're sometimes required to click things more than once for the game to register them.
Overall, Pixel Piracy is a really cute game that's quite fun. I'd say it's worth its $10 price as it provides more than that many hours in fun.
