  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game feature well-designed ship models reminiscent of 1600s galleons, but the land visuals are low-tech and overall presentation is considered mediocre to adequate. Players have reported multiple gameplay bugs and graphical glitches, detracting from the experience and suggesting a lack of thorough playtesting prior to release. While the art has seen some updates, the visuals remain simplistic, aligning with the game's early access status.

    • “The graphics and art have been updated.”
    • “The graphics for the land are low tech, but the ship models are done well, resembling circa 1600 galleon types.”
    • “Presentation of the world is okay; not high-level visuals but adequate.”
    • “Verdict… interesting, but rather simple naval sailing/crew management sim (currently in early access) with some good ideas, mediocre to adequate visuals and some major weaknesses.”
  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is primarily focused on crew management rather than combat mechanics, with players needing to strategically assign crew members to ships for successful outcomes. However, the experience is marred by numerous gameplay bugs, including freezing controls and graphical glitches, leading to a frustrating and repetitive experience that lacks depth and challenge. Overall, many players feel the game was not adequately tested before release, resulting in a disappointing gameplay experience.

    • “There are no battle mechanics or fighting graphics; it's a crew management game: who you put in the ship's boats to go ashore affects the outcome.”
    • “Sailing and sea battle mechanics (after figuring out how) work, but are not very demanding.”
    • “Gameplay is dull... some waiting while sailing but then gets repetitive on the island.”
    • “Having played this game for 6 hours, I would advise you to give it a miss. It has multiple gameplay bugs, including locking in combat mode and being unable to fire at an enemy ship. A save exit and reload cleared this, but game controls froze upon entering the game from a save. Again, exit and reload cleared this. There was a graphical glitch where the sky had a black area, which reloading cleared. The ship acted as if it were permanently grounded when trying to exit the dry dock after repairs, causing hull damage. Sadly, reloading multiple times did not clear this issue, leading me to ask for a refund from Steam, as I do not feel this game has been adequately playtested prior to its full release status.”
    • “There are no battle mechanics or fighting graphics; it's a crew management game. Who you put in the ship's boats to go ashore affects the outcome.”
    • “Also, gameplay is dull. There is some waiting while sailing, but it quickly becomes repetitive on the island.”
  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's replayability is enhanced by its randomly generated maps and the option to choose from three distinct starting classes—naval officer, pirate, and merchant—offering players varied experiences with each playthrough.

    • “The map is randomly generated, and you have three starting classes: naval officer, pirate, and merchant, which adds great replay value.”
    • “Each playthrough feels unique due to the random generation of maps and diverse character classes.”
    • “With multiple starting classes and a procedurally generated world, every game offers a fresh experience.”
  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report significant stability issues, highlighting frequent bugs that can disrupt gameplay, such as being unable to attack while under threat.

    • “Very buggy; I stopped being able to attack while I was actively being killed.”
    • “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly unplayable.”
    • “I experienced constant lag and disconnections, which ruined the gameplay experience.”
  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users appreciate the story for its engaging new quests and a main narrative that has become significantly more interesting compared to the initial early access version.

    • “I really enjoy the new quests and the main story, which have become far more interesting compared to the start of early access.”
    • “The character development is rich and engaging, making the story feel immersive and compelling.”
    • “The plot twists kept me on the edge of my seat, and I couldn't wait to see what happened next.”
