Griddlers Legend Of The Pirates

One could argue that the best puzzles are the ones that look deceivingly simple at first, but they turn out to be incredibly complex once you try to solve them. Obviously, incredibly creative and intelligent people are required to create such puzzles, which is why there are not so many of them out there. Even so, simplicity is a great feature to have nowadays, especially on the casual market.

Griddlers Legend Of The Pirates is a nonogram puzzle game in which you have so solve mosaics by filling a grid and following simple instructions. The ultimate goal is to obtain a final picture, which is pretty basic, given the fact that the grid cells are fairly big. However, the challenge is to complete the puzzles without making too many mistakes and as quickly as possible.

There’s a story running in the background as you go along, one that involves a pirate and his crew. Technically, you are traveling around the seas, fighting monsters and saving princesses, but that’s not quite as obvious in the actual gameplay. Hence, whether you pay attention to the story or not doesn’t matter, since you can complete the puzzles either way.

The first couple of levels are more of a tutorial to show you how the mechanics work, and the puzzles get tougher and tougher as you advance. The whole experience is split into multiple chapters, which are designed to feel like a journey through different environments. However, this is not that obvious from a gameplay point of view, since only the background and the theme of the mosaics change.

Speaking of which, the graphics are far from impressive, but they are at least clean and colorful enough to keep players engaged. The backgrounds change every now and again, and the pixel artwork can be pretty convoluted sometimes too. As for the music, it’s quite upbeat most of the time, but if you play for more than an hour or so it can get repetitive and annoying.

In the end, if you are a fan of nonogram puzzles, Griddlers Legend Of The Pirates features enough content to be worth your attention. The puzzles can be a bit too repetitive sometimes, but the challenge is definitely there, and so is the fun. NOTE: This is a downloader for the game.
