Shores of Plunder

Shores of Plunder

ABOUT

Shores of Plunder is a fast-paced party game where you and up to 3 of your mateys can battle, race and plunder as much booty as you can before the clock runs out. After each round you will return to your pirate ship where you can hang out and enjoy pirate-themed shenanigans.

GAMEPLAY

The matches are fast, fun and full of classic pirate shenanigans. While some players may want to collect as much treasure as they can, as fast as they can, others may want to pirate their way through it by knocking coins out of their opponents in cutlass swinging sword fights, flintlock blasting gun battles, sneaky explosive blasts from powder kegs, and other devious tactics. Many of the combat mechanics are still under development and will be added throughout Early Access with player feedback taken in to mind.

MULTIPLAYER

Shores of Plunder is all about having good old fashioned pirate themed fun whether you want to play solo or with your friends, family and colleagues. The online gameplay will be focused around an invite-only style of matchmaking so that players can enjoy a social online experience within a safe environment. Throughout Early Access new and improved lobby and matchmaking features will be added and adjusted with player feedback taken in to account.

MORE PIRATES!

As the game develops through Early Access there will eventually be are many pirates to choose from, including famous pirates from history. Each of these pirates will come with the ability to select a unique special skill that has a limited number of uses.

Designing your own custom tailored pirate will be a big part of Shores of Plunder and one of the biggest features that will be developed throughout Early Access is giving players the ability to customize everything from the hat they wear right down to whether or not they want to walk on a peg leg. Players will also be able to cash in the coins they earned to buy additional cosmetic items. The player customization and cosmetic store is currently unavailable but will be developed and adjusted throughout Early Access with player feedback taken in to account.

I NEED SOME RUM!

Pirates will do just about anything for a bottle of rum and once yours runs out of their special skill they will refuse to do it again until they’ve had some more rum. Replenish the skills by finding one of the many bottles of rum that are stashed around the island and drink it back. The player will have to take caution because while drinking rum refills the skills, it will also trigger a temporary drunkenness effect which renders the pirate vulnerable to attacks from any nearby players as they stumble around recklessly.

SOCIAL

Between matches the pirates will be returned to the deck of ship where they can socialize, brawl and have fun. Once the players are ready for another match they simply hop in to a cannon to trigger the countdown timer which will blast the players to shore.

Throughout Early Access new social features will be added such as playing music, drinking rum, gamble their coins away with mini games and more.

Really great game! Has twitch integration that is very simple to use and set up that allows the chat to place sabotages through the map. If your viewers feel like playing along they are able to through the itch.io site for free or the steam demo!! It still has some bits of bugging out but there are currently 4 maps and a variety of unlock-able weapons and hats as you level up. I’d absolutely recommend for streamers looking for community games.

I enjoyed the Twitch integration, and it was fun to play for a bit with friends. Not really my kind of arcade game in the end but appreciated being able to play!

Rocket Rumble

I don’t usually write reviews but this game definitely deserves it.

For it being in early access, I can see that it has full potential to gain more players as updates are pushed out.

I can happily say that the 8 hours of playtime that I’ve put in are well worth it because it’s fun, makes you want to level up to see what you can unlock, and even brings out your competitive side whilst playing against other people. There are a lot of clothing items and patterns to make your characters unique, the combinations are endless. 10/10, would play again.

Fantastic racing brawler! So much fun but you will be yelling at your friends! Works great on keyboard and controller, lots of customization available, private games, public games, local games, it’s all a really good time! I’ve had a phenomenal time so far and can’t wait to jump back in soon. You may even end up playing some of the developers… good luck though! They won’t go down without a fight!

Imagine Mario Party levels of bullshit combined with the strategy of Risk. That’s the best way to explain it, & IT IS AMAZING.

I stream this game with friends pretty religiously. I have absolutely no idea why it’s so addicting but I love it. Buy it for you and all ur friends, I assure u you’ll have a good time.

This is such a fun and chill game! It doesn’t get boring or repetitive since there are so many maps to choose from and characters to play as. The map editor is really cool, too! The art is adorable and the music is enjoyable. I’m really looking forward to getting some friends playing and trying out multiplayer. I could definitely see this being a go-to party game!

Roast Party

If you love hanging around with your friends and poking fun this is the best game! Even those who were nervous or considered themselves sweethearts got hooked on this idea and ran with it even harder than the rest of us. Somehow instead of destroying friendships we actually created some solid bonds! Can we deem this Roast Therapy ?

I never laughed so much at a game like this one, it’s quite amazing to see some prompts & pictures work really well each other along with some of the answers written down by the players, hope to see more games from these developers!

Run Prop, Run!

Awesome Hide ‘n Seek Prop Hunt game. I want more games like this. Another prop hunt based game is Witch It. I recommend both games as much or this one (RPR) even more. gg

EDIT: Also, if you’re new, be ready to get some glitches and bugs, the devs are working on fixing the problems ;)

I liked this game for its originality, I have never seen a game in this genre. The game has a lot of cards that can diversify the gameplay. Donate in this game does not interfere with the play of ordinary players, these are just skins. The game is often updated, because of this, it cannot get bored. But there are also disadvantages: since the game is relatively new, there are a lot of bugs in it that some people are “pissed off”. But I am sure that time will pass and the game will become even more popular. Recommended this product!

Fling to the Finish

Fling to the Finish

This game is insanely fun. It’s wacky and goofy and it makes you laugh even when you’re bad at it. The aesthetics are tight and colorful and bouncy. The obstacle design is super creative and the levels feel massive.

It’s obviously best played with friends but I’ve been really enjoying the single player campaign as well. There are a bunch of things to unlock through a handful of game modes. There is a surprisingly high skill ceiling so personally I enjoy getting better at the levels and posting times on the leader board (some of the times on there are insane already! Can’t wait to see what speed-runners do with the game.)

Real player with 10.3 hrs in game

Very fun game to play with your friends.

Here’s a few of things that need to be added/improved:

  • A detailed match settings screen, where we can tweak time-limit, active maps and map order, active power-ups, power-up spawn rate, gravity, jump height, rope length, modifiers etc.

  • If a team passes the finish line, the match ends instantly. A time setting to allow the other teams to continue would be nice. (First team can spectate the others in this scenario.)

  • The match result screen is a little bit plain. Maybe silly statistics such as the team which fell to their doom most, the player who saved their teammate from falling most, the team which reached the highest speed, the team which jumped the longest distance etc. I think you got the point. Maybe some replay collection of “important” moments from the match can be viewed…

Nightfall

Nightfall

A fun mafia-inspired game to play with a lobby of friends.

The different roles and ability unlocks give way for a TONNE of play styles and strategies.

An interesting take on the social deception genre, the various equipment unlocks you get from completing quests (or on game start depending on settings), add a lot of depth to the game.

Quests have their own minigame which on completion give you equipment points that allow you to unlock things such as smoke screen, invisiblity or boots of speed.

One of my favourites is the ability to impersonate another player entirely for the round.

I have always enjoyed each game of this I have played, and it is only in early access!
