Pirate Outlaws

Download Cost: $0.99In-App Cost: NoSize: 174MBGoogle Play Rating: 4.5 stars out of 5

Pirate Outlaws is a fun card-based action game that involves, you guessed it, pirate outlaws. The gameplay is pretty unique, as you’ll use attack cards granted to you to attack. The power of your attacks depends on the cards that you get. Your character starts off with three pieces of ammo, and you need ammo in order to do your attacks. Each attack card you get will use a certain amount of ammo, and if you run out, your turn will end. You can gain ammo by using ammo cards, though. You can get the game for only $1, and there aren’t any in-app purchases or ads. That’s good news for those who just want a simple game to play. Download Pirate Outlaws
