  • gameplay38 mentions

    The gameplay of the game is characterized by its engaging ship-building and naval combat mechanics, which many players find enjoyable despite the limited content currently available. While the mechanics are praised for their innovation and fun factor, some users feel the game lacks depth and variety, often comparing it to a demo rather than a fully realized experience. Overall, it offers good value for its price, especially for those who appreciate physics-based gameplay and creative building.

    • “Ship building and battling is very good with great mechanics, and there's a lot of good creations from the community to enjoy.”
    • “Even with just 3 modes of gameplay (sandbox building, dueling against other ships, and battle seas: a scenario in which you fight against progressively more difficult enemies), it still represents good value for money in my book.”
    • “Graphics were very impressive given the scope so far, and the gameplay is exactly what I've been looking for in a sim building game.”
    • “Abandoned game, current content is just the crafting mechanics without any gameplay.”
    • “There are updates but nothing special and it feels like workshop and events are more built out than actual gameplay.”
    • “I abandoned the game because I'm currently looking for new games with decent gameplay and an okay amount of content.”
  • story20 mentions

    The game's story aspect is notably lacking, with no dedicated story mode or significant narrative content currently available. Players primarily engage in repetitive mission types, such as ship combat, racing, and treasure hunting, with only a few campaign chapters to explore. While there are plans for future story elements and quests, the current experience feels more like a sandbox without a cohesive storyline.

    • “There's also going to be the option in the future to set out on a kind of story mode voyage and fight giant sea monsters and explore the world of Middenhir.”
    • “This is a fun game but very quick; the campaign features missions from battling other ships and destroying buildings.”
    • “If you want a full and completed game, then look elsewhere, but keep an eye on this; I am looking forward to the quests coming out.”
    • “Still no monsters or story mode as I hoped for, years on.”
    • “Very little, to no content included; the majority of the game right now is making your ships, which is great, but there is no PvP, and only 2 campaign chapters that feature 14 missions each, give or take.”
    • “Currently, there is a limited amount of game content, storyline, survival, etc.; it's pretty much a single-person arena game at the moment.”
  • graphics19 mentions

    The graphics of the game are widely praised for their stunning artwork and effective design, creating an immersive experience with beautiful water dynamics and lush environments. While many players appreciate the optimization that allows decent performance on older hardware, some users report performance issues even on high-spec systems, indicating a need for further enhancements. Overall, the visual appeal is a significant strength of the game, drawing comparisons to beloved titles like "The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker."

    • “Wonderful graphics, even on some older laptops.”
    • “Lovely game with stunning artwork.”
    • “Beyond the creative appeal and great potential this game harbors, the graphics are stunning and the water dynamics are probably some of the best I've seen.”
    • “Overall, this is a quality game that even with the graphics issues, I feel I got my money's worth.”
    • “I want to play this, but with how graphically intense it is, I won't be able to.”
    • “Basically ran in Windows 1280x720 with the fastest graphics, and with the smog in the event, I wasn't able to play it faster than 5fps.”
  • optimization19 mentions

    The game's optimization has received mixed feedback, with many players noting significant performance issues, especially when building large ships, leading to low frame rates. While some users appreciate the developers' regular updates that have improved performance, others feel that optimization should have been a higher priority before release. Overall, players acknowledge the game's potential but express frustration over its current optimization state, particularly on lower-end systems.

    • “The developers update regularly and have optimized the game a ton since I got it (so I can actually build and run my battleships without lag), which is nice since I only have an okay computer.”
    • “The graphics are great, and so are the optimizations.”
    • “Amazing fun, but they need to sort that optimization out. I mean, I've got a fairly decent PC and it goes mental when you build a large ship!”
    • “The game is a poorly optimized besiege on water.”
    • “I can understand the restriction in build space to keep the performance high, but for people like myself who have high-end PCs and who just want to make giant monoliths that bring the game down to 10 FPS and whose keels drag along the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the small build space is really annoying.”
    • “The game also is badly optimized and I think that this should have been their highest priority, but instead they released the indev game at a time when it was poorly optimized.”
  • stability6 mentions

    The game is currently in beta, leading to numerous bugs and glitches that users have noted, which is expected at this stage. While many players have experienced significant stability issues, they also acknowledge that the pros of the game outweigh these cons, with some improvements in physics and no major memory glitches reported. Overall, stability remains a concern, but it is seen as a temporary issue as the game undergoes testing.

    • “This game is basically in beta, so there are a lot of bugs and glitches, but that’s to be expected at this point.”
    • “Lots of bugs and glitches – it's beta, so this may or may not be fixed.”
    • “So far, I have spent more than 25 hours on this game, and yes, it’s like Besiege, with a lot more glitches and is harder to work with.”
  • music2 mentions

    The music in the game is generally fitting, enhancing the overall experience, but some users find it difficult to adjust the volume. However, there are concerns about the lack of content and the music being a notable issue for some players.

    • “The music fits – I just can’t turn it down.”
    • “The music fits – just can’t turn it down.”
    • “Good game, but the lack of content and the music is a bit of a problem.”
  • grinding2 mentions

    Players initially found the grinding aspect of the game engaging and enjoyable, particularly during competitions, but many now feel it has become tedious and has lost its momentum.

    • “This was a really fantastic concept that had a really promising start. It was really fun when Super Punk Games ran little competitions and stuff, but things have been coming to a grinding halt.”
    • “Tedious.”
  • monetization1 mentions

    Reviews suggest skepticism regarding the game's monetization strategy, with some users recommending waiting for the official release to determine if it prioritizes player experience over profit.

    • “I highly recommend waiting to buy this until it actually comes out and see if they do anything other than a cash grab.”
    • “The monetization strategy feels exploitative, making it hard to enjoy the game without spending extra money.”
    • “It seems like the developers are more focused on squeezing money out of players than delivering a quality gaming experience.”
  • replayability1 mentions

    Players find the game's replayability surprisingly engaging, with many investing over 20 hours as they return to challenge their previous best builds.

    • “I was not expecting to put over 20 hours into this game, but the replayability has kept me coming back to try and beat my old best builds.”
    • “The variety of choices and paths in this game makes each playthrough feel fresh and exciting.”
    • “With multiple endings and character builds, I find myself diving back in to explore every possibility.”
    • “The game lacks meaningful choices, making replayability feel forced and uninteresting.”
    • “Once you've completed the main story, there's little incentive to play again; the side quests are repetitive and uninspired.”
    • “The game offers no significant changes in different playthroughs, leading to a monotonous experience.”
  • humor1 mentions

    Users express frustration with humor in the game, noting that technical issues, such as save errors, detract from the overall experience and make it difficult to appreciate any comedic elements.

    • “Can't even use my name because of save errors; that's not funny.”
    • “The jokes fell flat and felt forced, making the humor cringe-worthy.”
    • “I expected clever wit, but the humor was stale and unoriginal.”
