Gaming Nexus writes: "Buccaneer: The Pursuit of Infamy, from Stickman Studios, is a decent little arcade-style shoot-em-up with a pirate-y flair. There's really not all that much depth, and very little realism, but there is a certain charm to this title. Taken in small doses, Buccaneer works well as a casual game. Just don't expect to spend countless hours glued to the keyboard for this one.
Buccaneer is, quite simply, all about blowing stuff up. This is in no way a wooden ship simulator, other than the fact that players control various pirate vessels from the Age of Sail. Using a standard WASD layout, players can be up and running quickly with little attention paid to nautical truisms such as tacking, currents, or, (unfortunately) even physics. These ships can go full-throttle with little regard to wind, they can almost stop on a dime, and, perhaps most shockingly, they can pull into reverse without a second thought. Firing cannons is just as simple-the left mouse button lets loose all port cannons, while the right triggers the starboard barrage. And that's about it."
GameKult: It is always exciting, playing pirates. Life on the water, idyllic scenery, the guns and the Collision knife between his teeth, buried treasure ... Buccaneer attempts to vibrate the string propelling us master of a vessel fleet of the Buccaneers' Or.
Buccaneer: The Pursuit of Infamy, the upcoming pirate adventure game for the PC from publishers Nobilis and Blitz Arcade, will be available across Europe on the 23rd of October.
Co-Optimus:
Everybody loves a good pirate game, and there never seems to be enough around. With the resurgence of such classics like Pirates! and more recently The Secret of Monkey Island, there might just be some momentum in the genre. Enter Buccaneer: The Pursuit of Infamy a PC game from independent developers Stickman Studios. It's all the pirate action, without the pirate mess. Aside from the booty, the best part of pirate games are the ship to ship combat, and that is what Buccaneer is all about.
