Description: In V ARRR you try to hunt down the biggest ship of all. On this dangerous journey, you need to defend your ship, each time you set sail it gets harder to defend. Build a defence with objects around your ship and try to hold back the pirates that try to capture your ship. Pirates will shoot, swing ropes from one ship to yours and are not forgiving at all.

Your sole purpose in this game is to defend your ship, shoot guns and beat difficult fights. Your Ship sails for you. (You can’t sail your ship or free roam). To complete every travel sequence and win the final fight can be seen as a very hard challenge. V ARRR is a difficult and rewarding game, Beating this game asks training and skill.

Review: If you have ever wanted to become a pirate V ARRR is the game for you. There is some swashbuckling fun and shooting to be had that is for sure. While graphically it isn’t up to much it’s more than good enough to keep you immersed in the action which at times can be quite heavy. Sadly it is the asking price that I have the biggest gripe with. There is simply no justification for the price given how much content there is, but do keep an eye out for this in a sale as it isn’t a bad game at all, just a little overpriced.
