In Crimson: Steam Pirates, plumes of black smoke fill the blue Caribbean sky as Thomas Blood’s pirate fleet steams ahead—over, above, and below the waves. On the surface, ships bristle with swivel cannons and lightning guns. Above, zeppelins drip with incendiary bombs. And below, silent and deadly, submarines stalk their targets, torpedoes at the ready.

Command your fleet and your Steampunk crew using an elegant action interface. Crimson: Steam Pirates' turn-based gameplay provides an addicting mixture of strategy and action as you anticipate your enemies’ moves and counter them, luring them into a deadly hail of weapons fire while uncovering the mystery brewing in the Caribbean.

Crimson: Steam Pirates features:

• 8 voyages that begin the tale of Thomas Blood’s adventures in the Caribbean
• 2 "Pass-and-Play" multiplayer scenarios
• Over a dozen types of ships, subs, and airships
• Over 20 unique crew members whose special abilities enhance gameplay

Presented by Bungie Aerospace and conceived by the mind of Harebrained Schemes' Jordan Weisman, creator of the MechWarrior, Crimson Skies, and Shadowrun universes.

Less strategic than it wants to be, but this is a fun and hugely likeable time-waster for iPad owners

10.0
Crimson: Steam Pirates is like a good book and a game of chess rolled into one Must Have download.

8.0
Pros: Fantastic alternate history setting and story. Great turn-based combat that feels perfect on a touch screen. Well designed levels mean no two ever feel alike. Great local multiplayer. Cons: Lacks online multiplayer. Very little replay value.
