Looks like no one plays anymore, so Multiplayer where you earn money to upgrade weapons can't be done as you can't play against anyone... I loved this game.
Many an hour spent enjoying Pireteer, thanks!
Positives:
-1-Quite a fun concept, very enjoyable format.
-2-Well considered controls, offering flexability.
-3-Quite a speedy game play without too much stress or complexity.
-4-Fun graphics.
-5-Well priced upgrades.
Negatives:
-1-Once beating the game, created a new game as I wanted to use the new boat. The restart simply reset the game, no new boat :-(.
-2-No full screen available.
-3-A little laboursome after a few hours.
-4-Pirate map is a bit hit and miss.
-5-I would enjoy a speedier menu, a minor gripe.
One of my most favourite strategy games, I have played this for years and enjoy coming back to Hex Empire peridically. Because it is so good :-)
Really happy to see it finally at Kongregate.
