Pirates Outlaws 2: Heritage

its just not as good as the first one. this new function "countdown timer" eliminates all of the fun supercycling decks we had in the first game, and yes that is the main way to play the game. also is unnecessarily different from the first game, i thought it would expand on stuff but no its just weird & a different game. if you want a good time in a roguelike deckbuilder (sts reskin) just play the first one.

Right now you need to manage ammo, shield, all the seperate turn counters of the enemies, as well as your own turn counter; and none of them are truly connected. Trying to gain any advantage in shield forces you to entirely sacrifice your ammo and turn counter, which sets you back on playing cards when the enemy's turn counters are about to end, which forces you to juggle ending your turn early and raw-dogging the damage or trying to flood your hand with cards that do not count towards your own turn counter as a hail mary, etc... There seems to be little balance and harmony in the whole play style. Trying to prepare for the enemy's end of turn action is completely punished by lack of shielding when said enemy e.g. prepares to hitt you for 5 damage 3 times; the first instance of damage will be minigated, but the other two instances will just completely annihilate you.. I am a huge fan of the first game and have played it relentlessly on Steam, Switch, and my tablet. I was excited to play the follow-up game and see what new mechanics they had implemented, but unfortunately, this just aint it brah.

I fell in love with Pirates Outlaws 1 because of its style and depth and even played it to 100% completion. Pirates Outlaws 2 shocked me at first because it the game's systems deviated too far from the original's, navigation was too stressful, and the balancing seemed way off. However, Reforged Beta is a real glow-up and I genuinely like where it is headed. Will be playing more of it now and recommend others to play on the beta branch for now.

This game reminds me the first one, but with extra stuff. compared to other games of the genre on PC I miss the option to use shortcut from keyboard to pass the turn and other shortcuts, however due to it being in early access this is something acceptable. so far it is being a game that I am enjoying to play =).

a sequel to one of my favorite games, however I find that it adds to many new mechanics and changes others that make it feel less like a sequel and more like a different and unconnected game. This does not mean the game sucks, it is wonderful and i still love it. the inclusion of dialouge is nice and an actual upgrade system makes it feel much smoother. i do recommend this game to any who likes deck builder games but if your looking for one closer to slay the spire than get the original.

Great game, I think it is even better than the first Pirates Outlaws game. Specifically once the vampire is unlocked. Becomes difficult when trying to defeat the sea master.
