Overview
About this game
Pirates! Showdown is a fast-paced game combining real-time strategy(RTS) and defense tactics.
Face off against the fearsome Red Hand privateers in thrilling head-to-head pirate battles on the high sea! Launch ships from your baes on one side of the map, capture towns and other structures to strengthen your defense and increase your gold supply. Capture your enemy's base at the opposite end to win, but make sure you are also defending your own base! 75 campaign levels plus randomly generated maps in skirmish mode!
STREAMLINED RTS!
Fast paced gameplay with RTS and defense tactics without heavy resource management or the need to micro-manage units.
WEIGH ANCHOR!
Command your fleet of pirate ships as you send them to intercept the enemy pirates or lay siege to land targets. Send an armada of Brigantines or save your gold for a massive Ship of the Line!
CAPTURE!
Towns, guard towers, shipyards, lighthouses, mystical obelisks, and more can all be captured. Structures all have a unique purpose and will supply you with gold, attack your enemy, buff up you ships, allow you to launch more ships, etc.
UPGRADE!
Upgrade towns to increase gold production. Upgrade guard towers to increase their firepower and strengthen your defenses.
STRATEGY!
Will you aggressively capture towns to loot their gold or invest in the towns you have to increase their gold production? Wage a purely pirate ship battle or strengthen your defenses with upgraded guard towers? Find the right RTS strategy to beat each level.
