No. This game is ridiculously cheap.1 found this helpful
Very impressive OpenBOR game. Had a lot of fun with it. Great for my 4-player arcade cabinet. If you're cool with the art style, definitely worth buying if you're looking for more multi-player beat 'em ups.
A nice surprise! This is a simple yet very effective and fun brawler, with enough action and cheese to keep you entertained the whole way. The game is admiteddly easy in the default difficulty setting(it's very generous with life and items), but all still felt fair and well designed as a whole. And the piraty setting is fully taken advantage of here, and there's enough setpieces to switch it up. The inclusion of a recreation of the original is a very nice touch, and i was surprised to see that it played in a dramatically different way, yet kept the core design. All in all, it's a fun way to waste n afternoon with friends, and it's all professionally made, it fully feel like straight from the arcade game era, in a good way. Well recommended! :)
If you like beat ‘em ups, you’ll love this game. Smooth gameplay, charming characters, and even a bit of laughs, I enjoyed playing this game. This also includes an enhanced version of the original Buccaneers game from 1989 which plays much differently than the revamped version.
Charming, fun, not too challenging on base difficulty. About 40 minutes in a playthrough. If you like scrolling beat em ups, this is a good time. And very reasonably priced
Best game with ki chanelling Ive ever seen fun and easy and challenging. Bosses are fun, its short and fun =)
