Pocket Gamer: In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, you get the impression that rafts allow you to lazily drift down rivers without a care in the world.
These preconception is smashed to smithereens by Raft Pirates, a freemium builder stroke (stroke! stroke!) battler for your iPhone or iPad.
In this fictional universe, streams and lakes are filled with villainous scoundrels. I've taken it upon myself to find out whether that's an improvement over Mark Twain's imaginary waterways by playing it for a week and reporting back.
GameZebo: Life on the high seas is dangerous, especially if you’re a robot pirate. Even if the law doesn’t string you up, a little bit of sea-spray will corrode you as surely as acid. What’s a robot sea-dog to do? Why, live life to the fullest, of course! That means taking down your enemies, picking over the skeletal remains of their ships, and then using that scrap to make your own ship the biggest, ugliest, floating fortress that ever sailed across Neptune’s front lawn.
Raft Pirates has a fair amount of strategy to its resource gathering and pirate battling.
GameDynamo - "Like most social games of the same ilk, Raft Pirates sets you in a world inhabited by other players, who you can interact with in the most pirate-y of fashions: through cutthroat combat, of course."
