Pirate Princess is a semi-casual word game based adventure, where ahe action bits consist of spelling words from a grid of letters. Each time a valid word is created the cannons are fired and damage is done to the enemy. In the meantime the enemy (and by that I mean AI, not another player) is trying to spell words to retaliate.
Between battles you travel from port to port, trying to find word of your father who has recently gone missing, presumed "blown up" in an attack on his ship.
