The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and length of forced ads, which can interrupt gameplay every few minutes. While some users appreciate optional ads for rewards, the aggressive monetization tactics, including high costs for ad removal and pay-to-win mechanics, have led to a negative impact on the overall gaming experience.

- “Almost no ads but rewards show if you like to watch or skip for extra rewards.”

- “This game used to be 5 stars, but I guess the devs just stopped caring about anyone having fun and figured they could get a few quick bucks by forcing everyone to watch ads.”

- “The game is actually very fun and great to kill time, but the constant bombardment of forced ads is too much... I truly hope the devs remove this feature and just keep optional ads.”

The game's story is generally well-received for its engaging pirate theme and interesting characters, but players frequently encounter significant bugs and issues that hinder progression, particularly in later missions. Many reviews express frustration over the game's pay-to-win mechanics, which force players to watch ads or spend real money to complete daily missions and advance in the campaign. Overall, while the concept and initial gameplay are enjoyable, the execution suffers from technical problems and monetization strategies that detract from the storytelling experience.
- “Good story mode, and an interesting way of PvP incorporated in the main quest.”
- “When I first started, I thought it was going to be one of those games. I was gladly wrong; this game has a lot of love and care put into it, and I would very much recommend it to anyone who's looking for a good game. I like the strategy aspect, I appreciate the story, the characters are fun, and I appreciate that you can have as many of any specific character as long as you have room for it on your ship. The game is fun and balanced, and I highly enjoy it.”

The game's stability is heavily criticized, with users reporting frequent freezes, bugs, and disconnections that significantly hinder gameplay.

grinding

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive and frustrating, often feeling that progress is hindered by high resource costs and limited gold gains. While some appreciate the free-to-play elements and the ability to earn upgrades through grinding, many express dissatisfaction with the tedious nature of the grind, especially when facing overpowered opponents. Overall, the consensus is that while the game starts off enjoyable, it quickly becomes a grind-heavy experience that can lead to player fatigue.
- “Quick to learn and no tedious complicated resource management.”
- “You should provide a preview of upcoming unlock details; if I'd known it would cost 1.5 million for a 3rd tier ship, I wouldn't be banging my head against the wall grinding pointless losses.”
- “The gold gain is extremely limiting; it doesn't scale with level or rank in PvP, so grinding 5.5k gold per match when you need 2.5 million takes forever, especially when you're overmatched against players that have bigger ships and are higher levels, making fights one-sided.”
- “Now it feels like a tedious grind.”
