Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion Reviews
If you're a fan of Adventure Time, you'll probably enjoy this game. The writing is great, and the world is beautiful. With the series ending this year, it's a great bit of content to pad out the waiting time. If you're not a fan of Adventure Time, though, I wouldn't recommend it to you. Most of my enjoyment came from the references and writing, rather than the gameplay. The gameplay isn't bad, but the atmosphere of the game couldn't be better.
Good adaptation of TV show Adventure Time!. It's a great experience for the fans of the animation, although technical shortcomings can be quite problematic.

Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion is a great introduction to turn-based combat for those who need such a thing.
Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion is one of those games where ignorance of the original source will deprive you of an understanding of a lot of special jokes and joy from a funny plot. Part of the gameplay with a grind of gold and resources, along with some technical problems, is a little annoying, as well as a crumpled narrative with primitive side tasks. At the same time, stylized graphics, turn-based combat mode and a set of abilities leave a generally pleasant impression.

Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion is exactly what a franchise tie-in game is, mixing known gameplay mechanics and ideas to a world built by an iconic animated series, without really excelling anything. It's still a great entry point into the world of turn-based RPG for some and will definitely appeal to fans of the animated series for sure.
Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion is one of the best games based on the Cartoon Network show, thanks to the faithful representation of the series' charming world and characters. While quite derivative, with features lifted from The Legend of Zelda series in particular, the game developed by Climax Studios can be a fun experience, granted the player manages to overcome some frustration due to balancing and design issues.
It's also my understanding that the Adventure Time true fans are sticklers and won't accept any mistakes. To them, I can only say that Pirates of the Enchiridion could have been much worse and that they should be grateful that at least they have something to play that's not half-bad before the tenths season arrives.
I recommend this release for the gameplay, but I really hope the next release from the team will be less buggy than this because even with the latest patch – months after the game's release – this is still the buggiest game I have played on my PlayStation 4.
A good platform-rpg, difficulty need some balancement. Perfect for the fans of the series.

Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion is the best Adventure Time tie-in game out there. It’s packed with all the humour, charm, quality, and jokes from the TV show along with the original cast as the voice talent. Sure, some moments can get a bit tedious as you’re sailing from point A to point B with no form of fast travel, but it’s all worth it for the excitement and fun you’ll have once you get there. The game is clearly aimed at fans of the TV show and I feel they will be the ones to get the most out of this game. However, even if you’ve not watched the show (like me), the game is hilarious is most parts and will entertain both small and big kids for hours.
A new way of exploring Ooo. Enjoy with Finn and company in a kind of classic RPG game that will be enjoyable for everybody, specially for Adventure Time's fans, who will be able to see a whole new story that is as good as the cartoon ones.
