Solitaire Legend Of The Pirates 2

Besides eye patches and wooden legs, pirates are also known for their drive to hide treasure in the most remote places possible, mainly in the hopes of someday retrieving it and living a rich life by spending all that gold. In the world of video games, pirates are a great inspiration for many genres, since they can be part of almost any kind of game, be it strategy, adventure or action.

Solitaire Legend Of The Pirates 2 is a puzzle game with Solitaire-based levels, in which the main goal is to clear the cards from the board as quickly as possible and without making too many mistakes. You are rewarded for collecting the golden cards only, however, so you have to avoid getting stuck until you manage to get all of them by first clearing the normal cards stacked on top.

The story features the usual tropes about pirates and their treasures, but it’s pretty much just a background gimmick that does not affect the gameplay too much. Granted, you can collect gems from special cards, but these gems only come into play if you want to purchase power-ups, since they do not really have any other use. Thankfully, no one expects a great story from a Solitaire puzzle game anyway.

As mentioned before, there are power-ups that allow you to avoid sticky situations, and they cost gems in order to be purchased. Hence, you can use Jokers are a stand-in for any other card, or even undo a previous move in case you made an error. Naturally, it’s important to time these abilities as best as you can, since they are quite expensive, and you may end up needing them to pass the levels.

The graphics are nothing to write home about, but then again there’s not much to see other than the cards and a couple of backdrops that help with the atmosphere. You can enjoy a few short cutscenes every now and again, which are pretty well-designed, but other than that it’s just cards on top of other cards. The music isn’t bad either, but the tunes get a tad repetitive after a while.

Solitaire Legend Of The Pirates 2 is far from an original idea in the genre, but the puzzles are engaging enough to be worth a few hours of your time. You can always improve your score by replaying previous levels.
