No need for piracy: Assassin's Creed Pirates goes free on iOS
Assassins Creed Pirates

Swashbuckling spin-off Assassin's Creed Pirates has just gone free, for the first time, on iPhone and iPad.

You play as pirate fella Alonzo Batilla and get in naval scraps with rival pirates and cannon-tipped fortresses. You'll have to upgrade your ship and your crew as you flot about the Caribbean, sinking frigates and brigs.

Ultimately, it has very little to do with this whole Assassin's Creed thing. But it's a right dashing game, has received loads of new content in endless free updates, and is well worth a download at this price.

In our Bronze Award review we said, "A big silly game full of repetitive combat and simple missions, Assassin's Creed Pirates somehow still manages to be fun."
