The game's story aspect is widely criticized for lacking a main quest, meaningful missions, and engaging NPC interactions, making the gameplay feel empty and aimless compared to its predecessor. Players also report missing features like side quests, town conquests, and character development options, along with insufficient tutorials and unclear objectives. While the core concept and design are praised, the overall story content needs significant expansion and improvement to enhance player engagement and narrative depth.
- “Got a nice storyline to the game and got me addicted.”
- “Been looking for a good game that mixes RPG elements with good storytelling and this is it.”
- “Much has been updated; everything is much cleaner and the storytelling has been overhauled, along with graphical updates, such as changing the look of your character.”
- “There is still no main quest or storyline yet, and there is no way to change our main ship. Also, the first ship (a sloop) can't be sold at the ship auction while other ships can.”
- “No missions at all; besides trading resources, I'm not sure what else to do.”
- “The few missions I get given don't appear in the log, and nothing triggers when I arrive at the destination and check the market, yet I still get warnings if I'm late.”

The game’s stability is hampered by numerous bugs including music playing despite mute settings, camera glitches, freezes, crew and ship roster errors, and save file corruption, often leading to frustration and interrupted gameplay. While users acknowledge the game’s potential and beta status, the prevalence of glitches significantly impacts playability and requires ongoing fixes to improve overall stability.
- “There are glitches that need to be fixed like music playing when it's set to 'mute' and the camera not being centered on my ship when I leave a town; also, having several ships causes longer loading times.”
- “Fix the bug where scuttling a ship leads to being trapped due to overweight with no way to abandon cargo, which ruined a long game. Minimum sailor amounts should be put on all ships, especially the starter ship Revenge. The game feels half-made and buggy.”
- “The camera glitches and goes all the way across the map during battles and while at towns. Also, the crew glitches out a lot; at one point, I had to restart because I had about 1500 crew on just one ship. The camera randomly jumps to different locations.”

The gameplay offers a unique and enjoyable experience with promising mechanics and exploration elements, though many users find it lacking in content, intuitive explanations, and mission variety. Some mechanics, like surrender and crew management, feel broken or burdensome, and bugs and crashes detract from playability. Overall, the game shows strong potential but requires further development and refinement to enhance balance, clarity, and depth.
- “Like a tabletop RPG companion, literal roleplaying is the dev's focus over flashy graphics and animations. The game's mechanics are pointed in all the right places and the content is just enough for enjoyable sessions, but this is still very much in beta.”
- “I sincerely hope work continues towards completion because the gameplay experience is truly unique.”
- “This game really has the potential to be one of the best games on the app store. The continuous updates keep adding to the already amazing gameplay.”
- “It's superficially interesting to have a bigger map and a customizable character and more text to read to do options, but it adds nothing to gameplay and I dare say takes away.”
- “The surrender mechanic is so broken and annoying.”
- “Gameplay balancing is pretty terrible.”

User feedback on graphics is mixed, with some praising improvements, cleanliness, and suitability to the genre, while others find the art style and visuals bland, childish, or mismatched with the game's pirate theme. Many users note a lack of visual variety and flashy elements, preferring gameplay depth over graphics, but some desire more polished and intuitive aesthetics. Overall, graphics are decent but could benefit from further refinement and expanded visual content.
- “The graphics are great.”
- “This new one is excellent, graphics are great, and a lot more to do on your average trip to town, loving it so far.”
- “Much has been updated; everything is much cleaner and the storytelling has been overhauled, along with graphical updates, such as changing the look of your character.”
- “Controls are confusing and graphics bland; lost interest very quickly.”
- “Formerly clean graphics are a mess.”
- “Well, first of all, I think you can drop the avatar; the art style doesn't suit a pirate game, and the same goes for the rest. The menus look bad, the map looks childish, etc. The aesthetics and art style just don't suit the pirate atmosphere.”

The music in the game is praised for its quality and continuity from the previous installment, but users report persistent issues with it playing despite being muted and occasional glitches such as skipping and improper positioning. These sound bugs especially occur in certain game areas and affect the overall experience.
- “Music remains amazing from the first game.”
- “There are glitches that need to be fixed like music playing when it's set to 'mute' and not being centered on my ship when I leave a town; and since I have several ships, it's taking longer to load.”
- “Music will sometimes turn on, even if app sound is turned all the way down and mute music is set in options.”
- “Good game as always mate, so far everything is smooth more or less for an early beta, a few things I have noticed though for you to look into are, the music always 'skips' for lack of a better term.”

Users feel the monetization system is currently cumbersome and could benefit from a more user-friendly interface. They express concern that many desirable features, like backgrounds, are locked behind microtransactions, which diminishes the experience. Some suggest adding more free content and minimal advertising to support funding instead.
- “For gold because a lot of people are unable to get in-app purchases.”
- “I have also noticed that basically all backgrounds are accessible only by microtransactions and I think that's a big mistake, as the different backgrounds were one of my favourite features in the first game.”
- “For gold, a lot of people are unable to get in-app purchases.”
- “But may I ask, why does it say there are in-app purchases?”

Users appreciate the game's humor, highlighting funny and exciting story elements, including a memorable reference to The Princess Bride that made them laugh. They enjoy the mix of humor with emotional moments, adding to the overall charm of the game.
- “The Princess Bride Dread Pirate Roberts reference at the beginning made me laugh.”
- “This game is very exciting as the first version of it was. It is a great game, and I would also be happy if I could design my character (the captain) and recruit my personal crewmates. I would love if the game had exciting, funny, and sad storylines that we can choose from! But anyway, great game guys, keep up the good work!”
