Pirate Legends TD app review: a nautical tower defense adventure

Introduction

How does a nautical tower defense adventure sound to you? If that captures your interest then you'll want to check out the Pirate Legends TD app for your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone. This is a pirate-themed game where you will be sailing the seas and exploring the water as you defend yourself from the Imperial Navy, the Undead Horde, and the really nasty hungry Cannibals. It seems as though there is danger and enemies waiting for you at every turn so keep your eyes open!

Set Sail on the Open Waters

It's time to set sail on the open waters and take part in 12 insane and high-energy battles. There are four bosses and 28 enemies you'll need to defeat through seven different environments. What this means to you is that there is no shortage of action. The towers offer upgrades and there are 20 different ones in total. You'll need to sail your ship through the Caribbean waters fighting off foes along the way as you defend yourself. This game requires a fair amount of strategizing so this isn't just a casual game that requires no thought to play.

The strategizing comes into play as you try to figure out the best way to defend yourself against each of the different enemies. Keep in mind what works for one may not be the best strategy against others. When you take out your enemies just as a pirate would you can steal all their loot which you can turn around and use to upgrade your own towers.

 

Additional Features

The app is free to download and play but there are an awful lot of in-app purchases that range in price from $0.99 to $19.99. The app has a recent update that added 12 all-new treasure hunt-themed achievements, better game playing, and enhanced maps.

Other notable features include the ability to command four aerial "heroes" and there are five magical relic powers you can use to help you out. The graphics really jump out at you and are very fun; even the soundtrack adds a little something to the game. I find the app to be quite intuitive and easy enough to understand. It’s mastering this game that is the problem, but hey: that just takes a lot of practice and some really great strategizing.
