Pocket Gamer - The massive success of Facebook games like FarmVille and Zoo Paradise has yet to be replicated on iPhone and iPod touch, but Capcom, and developer IUGO, hope Lil' Pirates will bring in the booty.
It's a colourful adventure that encourages you to build power and accumulate wealth by recruiting friends. As you sail the high seas you collect or steal loot in order to turn your ramshackle galleon and skeleton crew into a multi-mast force of destruction.
Quality Index dons its eye patch and considers the finest pirate-themed games on iPad.
Pocket Gamer - So-called freemium social games are the pirates of the iPhone gaming world.
They swoop in on a wave of hype and bluster, rob you of your time and sneakily plunder your money, giving you little in return.
STP: Lil' Pirates is a social networking game distributed by Capcom. As a pirate captain, you must assemble a crew and walk them through the tasks that make up a pirate's life-- that is, the G-rated tasks. You can send your crew members to do jobs like repel enemy pirates, adopt a monkey, loot market stalls and fisheries, or, best of all, brawl rabid dolphins.
