Funny little gem but mostly raw

[1.0] Release Review There is no contender to Sid Meiers Pirates and this game wont change that, however it has a good foundation to offer fun, for some time at least. The graphics are average - bad but the gameplay works. You start with a Sloop that cant kill enemies and, unless you instantly understand the system at hand, will die in a few hits. Once you get some gear and especially the overpowered but often fun Abilities you are able to overcome your enemies. Still, I found myself using damaging Abilities exclusively since using cannons exposes your ship to getting killed by return fire. The game is in need of some more balancing. Trading is possible but doesnt really work since ports only buy 1 ware and sell you 1 other and there is far more profit to make by salvaging wrecked ships found around the map or killing enemies once youre stronger. There is currently no map in that ports arent marked anywhere so trading just doesnt work. The story is nice - you can play as male or female - but it isnt a driving point. The gear / loot system seems to be the main focus of the game, yet I didnt find as much good loot as I hoped and was most often than not selling what I got and buying the best gear in ports as opposed to looting it. There is a skill tree that works but since there is a level cap most players will stop at that point. For games like this there really needs to be an incentive to continue playing the game. Borderlands gave you small % boosts on top of your skills and it worked for every character you created thereafter. Ship selection is average, with only 5 possible ships, but items change the look of your hull and sails so there is variation to these. I hope the developers got the means to improve on this foundation. A few patches could improve the games looting and fun moments and bring it closer to what Sid Meiers Pirates offered. Id currently rate it a 3/5 but its reasonably priced.

Terrible save system

I didn't get far in the game: barely 2h. But the experience was terrible. The reason: extremely poor save system. The game saves only when you manually dock into town: which is fine. However, if you are docked automatically as part of a mission (let's say deliver something), it doesn't count. There are no checkpoint saves as you progress through the story, and you can't skip cutscenes (only dialogues). So, if you go back in time (failed mission for instance) you have to sit through the cutscenes over and over. On top of that I've lost my progress several times. Save games would simply disappear when I start the game. Luckily I also backup manually, but this definitely shouldn't happen.

Weak game, but still fun

I've completed the game once with most of the achivements. I invested 30 hours. It was a GOG giveaway. The graphics and music are ok. The controls are good! (with controller) The gameplay sometimes feels quite grindy, but at least it hooked me for a bunch of hours. I didn't had any technical problems with this game, so that's perfect. I think it doesn't have any replay value. It says it's procedural and you may main any of the 5 ships and playstyle (magic or cannons). But unfortunately it's not interesting enough, and it doesn't add enough variations to play another 30 hours. The story is quite simple and predictable. Anyway, I had some fun. There are also few extras, like legendary monsters, treasures (with maps) or fishing which are welcome, but again, they're not interesting enough. The mechanics I found interesting was conquering islands, but it's in its barebones, they could improve it. Anyway, I had a good experience in general. Few boring moments, but it's ok.

I asked a repay

I stoped after something like 2 hours. You start with a ship who strangely have 3 cannons on his board but can only shoot 1 bullet at time. The targeting system is awfull (straight line). It takes something like 20 bullets to destroy 1 small ship. In 2 hours I've only destroyed the tutorial ennemy! I'll go back on sid meier's pirates

Simple but addictive

Disclaimer: I got the game for free. I was initially skeptical about this game as most of the user review out there quite harsh. I decided to give it a chance and was immediately hooked to it. It's basically an easy to get into ARPG set in the sea. It also had a pinch of colony management, though it's so minor that you can ignore that aspect of it. Though the story is super linear, you get to ignore it and just play it like a sandbox game. Minor issues with this game, it's that you can't continue playing the sandbox game once you beat the story. Also side quest seem to repeat after awhile and once you conquered all the islands, well you are better off finishing the story. Overall I'd say, it's an easy to play and an excellent time sink.
