About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a light, colorful old-school pirate romp with romance and duels, especially if you like China Seas or Wake of the Red Witch; Not for you if you want realism or a fast, tight plot.
Pros: colorful pirate adventure; charismatic leads; fun swordplay | Cons: thin story; too much romance; uneven humor
