Reviews for Sir Francis Drake (#19674)

Review by YOR on 10 Apr 2018 (Rating: 2)

The "intro" sounds like someone's scored a goal rather than fitting for a game bearing the name of Sir Francis Drake. This game apparently has you in an expedition as Sir Francis Drake himself, but the lack of instructions really hurts this one as I got easily confused with what to do. You move around the ocean and then random dialogue appears, such as the one shown on the WoS screenshot, but the game doesn't exactly tell you how to answer it, I just typed overboard though and it worked, at least I think it did anyway. The problem is, this message keeps appearing throughout the game, so I typed anchor and I broke free without damage, whatever that means. There are also Spanish galleons to attack or ignore, of course I attacked because I'm a mean bastard and chose to fire cannons, and I ended up getting holed and had to return to dry land, then I ran into another rock and typed anchor, but was holed again and sunk before reaching dry land. It looks to be an interesting one but there doesn't seem to be a lot going for it, again the lack of instructions do not help at all as the objective isn't clear cut. Where do I go from Lima exactly? What is my destination? Am I to collect food along the way and where? If somebody can manage to get into this for a detailed explanation of the game's concept, objective and strategy then it requires patience and so that is me out.
