Steer your ship through waves of enemies, hoard loot, and turn a humble vessel into a cannon-firing fortress.
Is It's About Pirates worth it?
It's About Pirates is worth it if…
- you want the survivors-like loop but on water, with a ship instead of a character
- you enjoy stacking weapons and items until the screen is nothing but cannonfire
- you like short runs you can squeeze in one more of, then one more after that
- you want colorful, cheerful chaos rather than gritty naval realism
- you like chasing scores once the adventures run out

One ship, endless waves
The survivors-like loop, but at sea. Your cannons do the firing; your job is steering. You weave through storms of cannonballs, sweep up the loot left behind, and level up to pick upgrades that stack into builds that fill the screen with fire. Skill here is movement and choices, not aiming, though if you prefer a steady hand, manual aiming is there too. Runs are short and every wave hits harder than the last, so the pressure builds until you are threading your ship through gaps by instinct. When it ends, you are already thinking about the next one.
Builds with bite
Over 140 items and more than 150 ship parts mean your vessel is never the same twice. Bolt on flamethrowers for close work, harpoons for pulling enemies in, mortars for raining fire from a distance. The fun is in the combinations: pair weapons and items until the ship stops feeling like a boat and starts feeling like a fortress. One player's flamethrower-and-ship-stabber setup was, in their words, music to their barbarian ears. Quests across different pirate realms unlock more components, so the toolbox keeps growing run after run.
Captains, factions and the long haul
Ten captains and six factions, each with their own abilities, change how a run plays from the first minute. Pick a captain who suits your build idea, lean into your faction's strength, and adapt when the sea throws mythical monsters at you. Beyond the 30 adventures there is Endless mode, where the waves never stop and the run becomes a score. The leaderboard is there for anyone who wants to claim a place among the top pirates, and loot along the way unlocks new ship skins, because a fortress should look good too.
