The game's story is primarily mission-based, lacking a cohesive campaign or progressive narrative, which many players find disappointing given the engaging pirate setting. While the missions are varied, they often feel repetitive and disconnected, with little continuity in crew and upgrades between them. Some players appreciate the casual gameplay and potential for future content, but overall, the storytelling aspect is seen as underdeveloped and in need of improvement.
- “The game is mission-based, you pick a mission and win, unlocking more game options as you progress.”
- “I hope that there are additions in the form of smaller missions (side quests essentially) which would make it even more varied and fresh each time.”
- “This game is mission-based; you pick a mission, win, and unlock more game options, and that's it. That is the game.”
- “Sink again doesn't have a fully-fledged campaign with a progressive story, which is a shame because the setting and look of the game is begging for some sort of narrative.”
- “There are many missions which you do independently of each other; it would be nice to have continuity of crew and upgrades somehow. It's generally not a genre that benefits from rogue-like play.”
