Cloud Pirates - First Impressions



https://pirates.my.com/en

Cloud pirates is, as you may have guessed, a game about captaining a floating pirate ship.  Which is super cool.  The game is centered around team-based fights in several traditional styles like deathmatch and area control.

One thing I enjoy right away, is that the controls are relatively simple, and twitch reflexes are not needed.  A strategic view of the battlefield is much more important than having good reflexes.  The speed is not very fast, so there is a little bit of time to collect your thoughts and then commit to a plan of action.  The downside of this is if you get caught in a bad position, you will probably get taken down.  This leads to a focus on strategic thoughts like an RTS, but without any worries of having to manage a lot of moving parts.  After playing three rounds, I am really enjoying this game.
