Having put a little over five hours into this game, I have to come to realize what prevents this "good" game from becoming a "great" game. "Then why the hell did you give this a thumbs down if it's a 'good' game?" You might ask. Well, i've yet to find any bugs, and the gameplay is for the most part pretty solid. I'd even say the gameplay if pretty quick. However, i'd also have to say it is a little too quick at some times, and this drive to have "fast gameplay" seems to me to be pretty ironic at times. How battles start in the game is pretty straightforward; all the ships spawn in a "coastal arena" type of setting, with all the ships being within sight of eachother. What's wrong with this formula however, is how close this spawn in can be. Sometime's you'll spawn facing eachother at a fairly far distance... sometimes they'll spawn to the side of you at approx. double cannon distance. Oh, and they'll also spawn directly behind you, and even in between your ships. What kind of cap...

This game was great and I had a blast playing completely solo. I Defeated the final pirate and stopped playing when I got to the West India Company. Honestly it got a little repetitive and also I had a hard time fighting when I was limited to 4 ships compared to their 8. I did make 1 cash purchase in the store. I bought some skill points for $1 and got the HMS Victory (1st-Rate ship) for free on a promotion. (Should have bought some buildings for the islands instead as skill points can easily be earned in game) The HMS Victory made the game a little easy at first, but I quickly got to a point where it wasn't enough and I needed more 1st-Rate ships to progress in the story. I got the additional ships by capturing them in game, no more money spent. Well worth the $1 I paid for over 22 hours of fun.

I find this a very fun game. And after i found out that the border of the visible map isnt the end of the world, i went exploring. I found out that there is infact an european landmass. I think im close to gibraltar right now but i have no idea really for there is no real landmarks. Yet i found it very fun to find this game to be bigger then it seems. I will write another revieuw when i find something interesting :P

Last night - I tapped this ball around for a bit, ( for 7 addictive hours ), - I did enjoy this FREE TO PLAY game. However, I cannot work out how the dev thinks supply and demand works.. It's good game - and you cannot grumble at the price = FREE. But let’s have a go. (At grumbling, I mean)! I think this is a great game and I give it a positive thumbs up, it's just that I noticed (what I think) are non logical things happening in the trading system. I could be that maybe I don’t understand the game, (I even have doubts about my own sanity), but I think it's fair to say I do understand how these things work; because I play tonnes of trading games, both in the PC world and in RL board games etc. And have done all my life, might I add! Seems simple enough.. You see a low price ( in green ) at a port for some commodity like Sugar and take it to a High Price Value port. (in Red). = Logical. But - the game gives you special missions ‘commissions’ too, but when you take the co...

I tried this game hoping it would be a something like a cross between Pirates of the Burning Sea (the older $15 monthly subscription game from Sony, with lots of detail and micro management) and the new upcoming pirates game called Sea of Thieves (which looks like it focuses on fun, team-based PVP). It wasn't so I didn't play with it too long. P.S. You can now play Pirates of the Burning Sea for FREE thanks to the guys at Portalus Games that bought the rights to the game. You can get it for free here: www.burningsea.com

Nuts!

love the game only prob is how expensive crew men are at first ok like 60 gold a week is not too bad but when i started upgrading my ships, 60 turned into 120 and now that i have 1 2nd 2 first and a man o war if i want to sail with full crew it will cost me over 1 thousand gold per sail becuse of how far awy places are but all in all awesome game the only thing is i sail around with 2 galls and 1 frigate and i have my manny and my firts and 2nd at my port only prob is that they get dmg for just being there with no crew... but i dont care like 100 gold a week to repair them not to bad and making money is so ez i think the game devs should lower the price for gold becuse i make 20k (witch is 10$) in about 20 mins so every min is 50 cents if you play hard at grinding wicth i like but the random pirate attks are anoying becuse if im sailing to sell my cotten at port howe, port howe would change (after the pirate incounter) to like buying cotten so then i would have to go to anather place ...

Good game for pirate lovers !

Absolutley OUTSTANDING game love it keep up with it developers

Great game, Just 1 thing I hate that you have to pay in-game to unlock everything. I rather pay 10$-20$ for a full game with everything unlocked from the start. Also then you can restart whenever you want. Instead of losing everything you bought when starting a new game, this is the reason why I haven't bought anything yet. Otherwise it's a great game with great graphics and mechanics. Truly a game I long searched for and final found!!!! PS: This game is also available in the windows store but there where problems with the save files; I couldn't get passed the 3th tutorial quest. So just play it trough steam and you'll be fine.
