Review: Trails Of Gold Privateers is a private action shooter in which you will be trying to take down turrets, shoot down enemy ships and even shoot the enemies when they try and board your ship. All done with a soft cartoon feel this game keeps everything fun and simple. When it comes to gameplay it can be a little frustrating as the cannons take a while to load and don’t have the best range of movements, but if you teleport around a lot you should soon get used to the pace of the ship (which is quite fast). While the game doesn’t have a lot of content you can always get your money’s worth here by doing score challenges and that is where the true value is. It’s a little bit of harmless pirating fun and I loved it.
