First off, this game has pirates, and everyone loves pirates, right? Scurvy Scallywags has a very refreshing take on the match 3 genre, mixing in some RPG elements and most importantly, depending on how you swipe, the pieces on the board will shift in different directions. A definite change of pace when compared to typical match 3 games. Finally, theres lots of humor to be found (unsurprisingly, as Ron Gilbert had a hand in it and any video game fan will tell you he created the Monkey Island series and the Maniac Mansion/Day of the Tentacle games). Finding verses of the ultimate shanty are particularly rewarding.
The only downside? The music gets a bit repetitive after a while. Or maybe Ive just been playing it too much.
Anyhow, a definite thumbs up!!!
