Adventure Time Pirates of the Enchiridion is a turn-based RPG game based on the popular Cartoon Network show. Join Finn and Jake as they travel through the flooded land of Ooo to save the world. You'll love the authentic humor and characters from the show and the lovely soundtrack. However, the gameplay can become repetitive, and the world is linear and lacking in challenge.


What we like:
  • Faithful to the show's world and characters
  • Lovely soundtrack adding to the game's delightful atmosphere
  • Presentation of well-written humor
What could be improved:
  • Repetitive gameplay becoming tedious
  • Linear world without much challenge
  • Best suited for younger audiences and fans of the show
