The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, with many describing it as excessively reliant on forced ads that interrupt gameplay every few minutes. While there is an option to pay for ad removal, players feel that the cost is too high relative to the game's value, and many express frustration over the frequency and intrusiveness of ads, which detracts from the overall enjoyment and playability. Overall, the consensus is that the game's potential is overshadowed by its aggressive ad monetization approach.
- “I paid $7 for no ads, although they try to get you to watch some to speed up wait times, but it isn't a big deal.”
- “This game is amazing, the only thing I would change is the price for no ads... it should be at most likely $3, then I would give a 5-star review.”
- “Rethink your monetization strategy and you may actually have a successful game.”
- “I want to give this game more stars, but the game is essentially a money grab. If you choose to spend £6 to remove the forced ads, there are still reward ads, which you basically can't progress without. It gets to a point where you can only play for around 5 minutes an hour and the rest is waiting for timers to end. I'm at a point where it's basically an ad simulator. The game has a lot more potential but at the moment it's lacking; timers need to be removed for starters.”
- “While the idea of the game and the way it is designed seems nice enough, the sheer volume and frequency of the ads (literally 2 minutes of game time in between ads) make it unplayable.”
- “The game is fun enough, but not when you have to endure ads that are longer than the gameplay.”

Overall, the graphics in the game receive high praise from users, with many describing them as beautiful, fun, and well-executed. While some players note issues with performance at higher settings and the presence of ads detracting from the experience, the majority appreciate the visual design and find it engaging. The graphics contribute positively to the gameplay, making it a standout feature of the game.
- “This game runs smoother than others, has fun graphics and many things to do!”
- “Brilliantly executed game, great fun and great graphics, keeps you hooked from the word go!”
- “Excellent gameplay, great graphics, smooth motion in play”
- “I have the graphics set to low and it does not help much.”
- “Need better graphics.”
- “The reason why I'm giving you three stars instead of my normal 5 like I do with every game is because when I switch it to high quality, the graphics you can't see them and then the screen goes black, so y'all need to fix it.”

- “So far, the gameplay is smooth and fun to play.”
- “Age of Sails is amazing, loads of fun, cool graphics, gameplay rocks, and nice controls to top this rare find. Thank you, developer, great work, a job very well done!”

The game's story is generally well-received, praised for its engaging plot and good graphics, but many players feel it ends abruptly after significant progression.

Overall, while the storyline is enjoyable and immersive, players express a desire for more content and smoother gameplay.
- “But I love the storyline and the graphics are good!”
- “It is beautiful, simple, includes action; and yet there is a storyline and steps to take to figure it out... like a treasure map!”
- “It's a real time pass game keeping you engrossed with the story.”
- “In fact, I've even made a purchase; however, after I built my lighthouse in my little village, my game seems to have gotten stuck in a mission 'loop' of sorts.”
- “I have missions I can't complete, like talking to the girl after explosives are set. I got the rope for finishing Green Island, but the area I'm directed to doesn't do anything.”
- “The game seems to be incomplete; mission progression in the game stopped, and I can only farm coins to upgrade the vessel. For the pistol, I will need 50k for the next level.”
