female captain and can move up and down and shoot.\u00a0 Defend your crew on the left side of the screen by shooting enemy pirates and monsters coming in on the right.\u00a0 Plunderer\u2019s Adventures is available on Switch and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.<\/p>\n<p>In each stage you must survive waves of pirates approaching from the right.\u00a0 If they reach the left side of the screen, they\u2019ll take one of your crew members and you\u2019ll lose a life.\u00a0 Lose all lives and you must start the stage over again.\u00a0 You can hold down the X button to fire a basic shot, and the L and R buttons activate special skills like rapid fire and such.\u00a0 But you must wait for them to recharge again after you use them.\u00a0 Every so often a crate will appear that\u2019ll give you extra lives or coins.\u00a0 The coins that you earn can be used to upgrade your ship, and give you perks like more powerful shots, shorter cooldown times, and more.\u00a0 You can also unlock a second character that has a charged cannon shot.<\/p>\n<p>The big problem with this game is that right into the second level, the game becomes impossible unless you grind the first level a bunch of times to get enough coins to upgrade your skills.\u00a0 And the first level is so slow and plodding that it\u2019s not very much fun to do that multiple times.\u00a0 And then after you beat the second level, you must do that again to get past the third!\u00a0 Not very much fun if you ask me.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/plunder_screen\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
