The art impresses me - the overall effect, with its fantasy touches, vast monuments and thrashing rain, is coherent and evocative. Manoeuvring the ship feels good, too. The ability to upgrade your ship and level up its crew appeals. I really rather like it: perhaps because I see a lot of my problems with it dissolving as development progresses, but mostly because I find this game to be strangely charming. I feel like my captaincy, through sheer ineptitude, has achieved at least some sort of infamy, and isn’t that ultimately what any pirate wants? Ayeee!
