Overall, the gameplay is praised for its fun mechanics, smooth controls, and engaging experiences, with many players enjoying the variety and cooperative elements. However, issues such as lag, crashes, and a perceived pay-to-win model detract from the experience for some users. While the graphics and combat mechanics receive positive feedback, frequent technical problems and matchmaking frustrations are common complaints.
“The in-game mechanics are great, fun, and keep you wanting more.”
“Extremely fun gameplay, really smooth and minimal pay-to-win.”
“The gameplay is amazing; the chaos is real, it's a bit goofy for my liking but don't think it doesn't employ tactics.”
“The gameplay can be a little slow, and even though I'm next to my router, it still shows my internet speed as too slow.”
“I would rate 4 stars but give it a 3 as the game seems to crash on Samsung Galaxy Tab A at least once every 20-30 minutes of gameplay.”
“Unbalanced gameplay... feels a little bit pay-to-win situation... too long waiting for every shot... hard to get premium parts.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the prevalence of ads and the pressure to make in-app purchases, often labeling it as pay-to-win. While some appreciate that ads are not forced upon them, others report technical issues with ad rewards and excessive prompts to buy items, leading to a negative impact on gameplay experience. Overall, the balance between free-to-play accessibility and monetization tactics appears to be a significant concern for users.
“It's free to play, in-app purchases are available for those of you that like being competitive and want to get more out of this game.”
“No ads apart from if you want to revive, and it's not too much pay-to-win.”
“Not a lot of microtransactions, so pretty good.”
“The game is also full of ads, limited on what you can do without paying (pay-to-win) and constantly asking you to buy things!”
“My biggest issue is that even when you get the premium pass, you still have to watch ads for more gold after battles, fleet contribution, and chest timers.”
“Definitively a cash grab game, just another greedy developer. What a waste...”

The game's story aspect is perceived as lacking depth, with many players expressing a desire for a more developed narrative and campaign mode to enhance engagement. While there are numerous quests available for both PvP and PvE, they often feel repetitive and disconnected from a cohesive storyline. Players suggest that incorporating a richer story and addressing mission-related glitches would significantly improve the overall experience.
“This game is one of the best PvP games on mobile, and ships are very awesome. You can recruit new crewmates, there are quests, and so many prizes. Highly recommend for PvP game lovers.”
“It's a cool pirate game; I'd have liked more missions like fishing, treasure hunts, or war—something like that.”
“And also please add story mode; it will make the game more interesting, because sometimes it becomes boring by only playing PvP.”
“Excellent game for a pirate concept, but the only problem is it shows low internet connectivity and requires an open world story base. Other than that, excellent game.”
“Need campaign game... adventure with story.”

“This new update sucks now... I was grinding so hard for the Calais crew and you ruined everything by increasing the cannon cooldown. Please bring back the old cooldown time for the cannon.”
