## Description
The story of _Pink Shock Pirates_ is rather simple: the protagonist is a young
girl named Pink, who wants to become a pirate. To do so, she acquires a ship
(which she calls _Shock_ ), and begins to explore the land in search of crew
and adventure.
_Pink Shock Pirates_ is a hybrid of strategy and role-playing. Rather than
following a linear narrative with scripted events, the game allows the player
to sail through the sea and visit towns on all the continents right from the
beginning. Towns are represented by small pictures of places of interest, such
as weapon shop, item shop, church, etc. Crew members can be hired in towns, or
by performing quests. Instead of a usual RPG “party”, the player manages and
controls the crew of an entire ship (their number can get as high as 50).
Enemy ships will randomly attack _Shock_. Before the battle, the player has to
position all the crew members on the deck. The player can buy and upgrade the
ship cannons, as well as other long-ranged weapons that can be used in battles
without engaging in melee. These cannons have limited ammunition; if the
player hasn’t succeeded to scare the enemy ship away or runs out of ammo, the
enemy might get aboard _Shock_ and attack the crew. The battles are turn-based
and involve the player moving the crew members on the screen, attacking when
an enemy is in range. Attacks are graphically represented as animated
sequences appearing in small windows.
Role-playing elements are present in the leveling up of crew members, as well
as in the possibility to explore the land on foot. The player navigates Pink
over the top-down “world map”, entering and exploring hostile areas. Enemies
will attack randomly; land battles are handled the same way as the melee
combat on the sea.
All the crew members are female, and during combat they might lose parts of
their clothes. Despite these suggestive themes, there is no explicit nudity or
sexual situations in the game.
