Trade, pirates, gold, drinks and mesmerizing sea ports all have come to the App Store with Tradewinds 2 from Handmark. It is really good to see many popular PC games making their way to the iPhone platform.
I love the PC version of Tradewinds 2; the iPhone version of the game is now reckoning me back again to the viking age. In Tradewinds 2, you’ll have to navigate the pirate infested waters of the Carribean. Choose any of the five characters to start the adventure and see how much wealth you can amass and how many pirate ships you can sink before you are cornered.
Tradewinds 2 features 20 beautiful ports where you have to set sail from one to the other. Purchase merchandise from one port and trade it off on other ports that offers you higher price for the commodities. Make profits as you go from one place to the other. Face the pirates with powerful cannons and fire arms and loot their booty to become even richer.
You can invest your money in the banks, store your cargo in ware house to sell them off when the prices are higher. All trade secrets are here, which makes this game a very realistic strategy and monopoly game.
Talk to bartenders and inn keepers to know the talk of the towns. There would be hints about what time is the best for trading certain commodities. Remember to feed your men well and offer them drinks once in while to let them spread the word that you are a good captain.
Most of all, remember to repair your ship, equip it with ammunitions to face the rough weather and the surprise attacks from pirates. Disaster can happen anytime. There are cartloads of surprise elements to keep you engaged for hours and hours.
There is an option to create your own character apart from the five default characters using the character generator. Play either the game music or your favorite songs while you while away hours in fun.
Graphically, the game looks like those splashy canvass paintings that you are never tired of examining. Tradewinds 2 is a perfect sea adventure game for strategy and adventure game lovers. It is available now in the App Store for $4.99.
