Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island review

by Jordan Miller, September 26, 2010

The adventure genre hasn’t been the most focused genre over the past decade. While the recent revitalization of the Monkey Island series injected life into the field, it’s hard to come across any modern adventure game, let alone a good one. With that in mind, German developers Autumn Moon Entertainment has delivered Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island; a lengthy adventure through a pirate world filled with mystery and treachery starring three playable pirate protagonists that is on the lackluster end of the balance beam.

There’s no shame in the obvious spirit of Monkey Island being represented with Ghost Pirates. Nearly every aspect of the game mimics its bigger brother from story to characters to even the gameplay. The game is played in 2D with only the mouse used to direct characters and interact with a world packed full of items and characters. Any seasoned adventurer will feel right at home using the control scheme. Right click is used to access inventory and combine items and left-click for everything else.
