The reviews indicate a significant lack of narrative depth in the game, with many players expressing a desire for a story mode, character development, and engaging missions.

- “Very basic, nothing more than buy a boat, kill, game over... no game story, no game tactics, no real meaning in upgrading or buying ships... very simple game... should be totally free.”
