“The gameplay is a 2D RPG adventure, where we have to return everything that was stolen from us.”
“I like this change in gameplay; it's pretty fun yet short, though that's expected given its price.”
“The gameplay is easy to understand and master; it's basically a 2D top-down bullet hell action shooter game.”
“It does have some gameplay issues; I don't know if it's because I'm playing fullscreen, but it runs at quite an unstable framerate for me.”

The story aspect of the game receives mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its humor and potential for depth, while others criticize it as shallow and underdeveloped. Many feel that the narrative serves primarily as a vehicle for gameplay rather than offering a compelling experience, with some expressing a desire for a more fleshed-out backstory and character development. Overall, while there are moments of charm, the consensus is that the story is lacking and could benefit from further expansion.
“I'd especially love to see a prequel game that shows how that captain acquired his lucky succubus coin in more detail than 'I was drunk and traded some rum for it' and shows how he recruited all of his crew members and got his start as a pirate, as the story starts off in the middle of his career, and it'd be nice to learn more about the characters.”
“It's nice to see a developer who normally is making 'generic puzzle game, but porn' type games branch out into something with proper gameplay and an interesting story, and I hope they continue on with this sort of game because I would absolutely buy a full-length game of this nature.”
“The story is just there to deliver the gameplay but it's pretty cute and funny.”
“The story is easily the weakest part of this game.”
“This game's story is nearly nonexistent and it's literally just you trying to get a harem of waifus that are mostly not even nekos.”
“Story: short and simple, don't have much worth to remember.”

However, others criticize it for being repetitive and lacking depth, with some areas feeling lifeless or underdeveloped. Overall, while the art and sound contribute positively to the experience, there are notable inconsistencies that detract from its overall quality.
“Really good art, banger music”
“Amazing art style and soundtrack!”
“Starting with the opening title is pretty with fitting roaring pirate/viking music.”
“Barebones lifeless menus, royalty-free sounding music, simple smooth chibi art for all but the h scenes. It ticks all the boxes of a low-effort h scene delivery game but has the gall to throw a crappy 'adventure' game between you and those scenes.”
“Nice little manga/comic to bring into the game world, but no music for this part compared to on the ship or title screen.”
“Music & sound: not much, simple.”
