Pirates Outlaws

Indie roguelike card game

View

Like any good buccaneering adventure, Pirates Outlaws lets you sail the high seas, loot buried treasure, trade flintlock fire, and brawl with unsavory brutes. But you do it all using a customizable deck of cards! From sword strikes and parries to cannonballs and healing grog, every move matters.

What we love: The mystery! Each playthrough randomizes the challenges. One game you might sail calm seas, hitting lots of replenishing taverns and winning big at a game of dice; another might offer a string of tough fights against stout scallywags. Which way will the wind blow next time?

Monkeys, pirates, giant enemy crabs—whatever stands in your way, take it out!

Quick tip: Pay attention to your ammo, which—unlike your cards—carries over from round to round. Don’t have a great move this turn? Conserve your ammo and unleash a bigger attack (maybe the Gang of Sharks!) the next. Live to fight another day, matey!
