An Amazing ship game, but confusing to new players. So, a little clarification, this game is great. Hands down one of the best games on the store and worth buying, I wish there was free play for you know. FREE! But even without the small demo is enough to tell you what to expect for some of the game but the fighting ship to ship is so fun and the selection of fancy weapons and gadgets, even some original cool weapons depending on what your play style is. Want to go in guns blazing and board the enemy as fast as you can and get good loot? Then get grapples and grapeshot. If you want to stay in the back to wreak havoc on any ship who dares attack you? Use catapults and mortars. You have any play style you want, but if you so buy the game it doesn’t explain much until (huge spoilers ahead, I know I already spoiled but that’s barely anything, but maybe read to expect what will happen so you’ll be prepared in some way) you fight the kraken. Then it gives you much more freedom to do the things before you got there but figuring that out was weird and also confusing, all the missions leading up to were cool but I didn’t know how hard the fight was until I did it and it was so significantly easy when I figured out the gimmick. It was still fun but it doesn’t usually give you a good clue of what you are supposed to do. But that’s the only problem I have with the main campaign. Everything else so far has been the greatest. Do recommend, and do buy. Unless you don’t wanna :)

Wonderful game. Totally worth the price of admission. For the people who say this game is overpriced, perhaps freemium games are more your speed. I would much rather have a game I pay up front for instead of getting bled for much much more money with corrupt gotcha microtransactions. Well done devs! I am very pleased with the lack of privacy tracking, I refuse to download an app that harvests my data.

My personal Favorite Game on the App Store. I’m loving this game so far, lots of comments are about the price of the free play and campaign but honestly for how well the game was made, I think $7 is a fair price. I am not sure how much total content there is but I’m already 3-4 hours in and have explored only a fraction of the map. The ship customization, crew building, fights, and story are all excellent even for some PC and console level games. Worth the money for sure!

Tricky controls. The controls arent well labeled or explained which makes the tutorial a bit of a grind. But game has huge potential. Just not willing to invest time in learning curve

Fantastic. This game is everything missing from mobile games. A trial lets you see if you want it, then a small purchase and you get the game. No “gems” no freemium, no ads clogging up gameplay. The game itself is great, a fun story and good mechanics. I’m happy to have tried it, and purchased it. I’m not usually one to leave reviews, but this deserves it.

Forced tutorial is garbage. The game wants to hold your hand to the point you don’t actually get to make a single decision on your own with no way to turn off. Wants me to use the swivel gun but won’t let me fire or aim this is an incredibly annoying design of most modern mobile games wish I could just turn off the hold your hand system :/

Best game ever. I have been playing this game for a while now, and I just have to say that this is the best game I have ever played. If you like pirate games this is the game for you, the campaign is the most interactive and detailed campaign I have ever experienced. And developers if you are ready this you will never believe how happy this game has made me. So if you like prates, compelling story’s, and having fun this is the best game out there.

Great but u pay. My only downside is paying I like enjoying games free that’s normal though this game is good though no flaws and if u want the best way to play is buying the hole thing

Fire game. I love almost everything about this game. I wish there was more content because I could play this game for decades

This one glitch makes the game unplayable. When I tried to use the swivel gun one the tutorial battle a second time but when I clicked on the ship it just said “invalid target “ good game but needs more bug fixes

Jeez, this game is addictive. I am loving this game. The graphics, the mechanics, the gameplay, it’s just so much fun. I believe this game is very underrated and deserves to be one of the top games. (I might be going too far but idc) This game is just an overall good experience with its compelling decision making and battle sequences, not to mention the events that happen. I’d recommend giving this game a try. It is pretty hard, but that’s the fun in it.

Good, but tough.. It’s good. Excellent crew/ship developer. Worth the price. Very frustrating at first, very hard to accumulate coin when profits are stingy and random calamities so costly. BUT, it gets better if you can grit through and develop your crew. A random crew member at any time can be crippled and it costs 50 to first revive him and then 79 more to remove the permanent crippling affliction afterwards - or live with it. A ‘score’ after a successful fight you get 30 coin. Woo hoo. Maybe. Many fights you get nothing except costly damage to your ship. The world is large, and I am only just getting immersed and starting to reap more profits with a (now) more experienced crew. Don’t get me wrong, it’s excellent and absorbing. Hey! Wanna explore all the different ways you can inflict immensely costly afflictions to your crew and get mostly nothing? Buy a diving bell! (Just kidding, it is a great, but frustrating game).

It’s a pretty good game. It’s been pretty good so far, plus I am a fan of the pirate theme and the story isn’t too bad either. I really like this, plus points for originality. I haven’t seen another game like this yet, and doubt even if I did, it would be as good as this.

P fun game. After the preview was happy to pay the price good phone games with good depth are hard to come by, 10/10.

It’s a wonderful game but one problem…. I love this game but I really wish I didn’t have to pay for free play because it is so expensive. The same with the other campaigns too. It’s just very pricey. However, I will complement you guys on the game in general. It’s amazing. You get the real pirate feel and there is also that sense of danger that everyone loves because of the thing where if you die you have to start over. It’s a great game! But I would love if you lowered the prices at least by a little.

Don’t install unless you are FASCINATED with ships. Right off the bat they cram you with like 50 different mechanics of the game and it seems never ending. And the ship mechanics got way too in depth, Couldn't even play for 15 minutes because it seemed like a lot more work than it was worth. I can appreciate trying to be realistic but you went way overboard (no pun intended) and it makes the game feel very dull.

Great story, critical failure!. At the first chance of ship upgrade and optimization the game freezes with tutorial pop up . Please fix 5 star if fixed

One of the best and unique. If this was online or pvp/co-op elements I would play it all over again after unlocking every nook of the game.

Great game. Great game play really immersive. It really needs a save feature. That you can use whenever you want. I am very sick of going back over same mission. That I did several times before because I lose my progress.

Unnecessary Internet Connection. I was looking for a game to play during flights. This game seemed perfect so I bought all the content (the game is great). I come to find out that without an internet connection my phone can not verify that I own the game and blocks me from playing it. I guess I’m paying for access rather than ownership and that wasn’t communicated in the description. I just want to enjoy the game on a plane.

Ridiculous tutorial. The tutorial takes forever to finish and you basically can’t do anything on your own till it’s done. Constant pop ups and it leaves nothing for you to figure out on your own. Garbage.

Terrible game broke. This game had promise but sadly fell short the game broke while playing it so that I could not even move my character!??!!! Could not even play it after that!!! Do not even waste your time with this one!!

Decent but needs work. Played the game though the free version, bought the full version and the game feels totally empty, no ports or any way to actually progress without a long time of backtracking. Went through 2 hours of play without a way to heal or progress which really takes you out of the immersion of a breathing world. Free play is terrible not worth the money in any way. Love the idea and concept and first 3 hours, but as soon as I payed I wish I had my money back.

A little help?. I just got the game today and enjoyed it so much I bought the full game, anyway I just entered the haunted island whirlpool zone mission where you follow a ship into a whirlpool, and then I left the app and saved the game. Now when I enter my save I am put on the other side of the whirlpool but it’s all messed up. There’s 2 gates on top and bottom and both closed. I went through there before and when you go out the bottom it spits you out on the top. Any way both of them are closed and I can’t do the fight to go through the bottom because it won’t pop up. And the whirlpool is in the center of the map for some reason and I can’t go through it. I searched the whole area and there’s no way I can get out. And when I realize my save it puts me back at the same spot. So I’m stuck which no way out. And I have put a lot of time in, like a LOT. So I really don’t want to lose it all. Any help here Devs?

Best pirate game ever. This game is THE best pirate gam you can find for miles, with amazing lore, great fighting mechanics, and even more stuff that I haven’t explored yet! Please try this game if you’re looking for a pirate game that focuses around fighting!

The makings of a fun game. The story is intriguing . The graphics are not bad . The gameplay is good but unless your going to buy the game before you play you get two maps before it locks you in and you have to buy it to do anything .

SO Worth the $10 to get everything. I never ever write reviews but this game is so good I had to… my first run thru to Destroy Father I literally did nothing else for 2-3 days..

Weapons tutorial issue. I’m working through the tutorial and when it comes to the buying weapons such as the mortar in the tutorial it completely stop functioning. It says the there is no space for the mortar that the tutorial makes you get and it won’t allow me to switch it out or upgrade the smaller mortar already preset on the ship. Controls go dead. Won’t let me go back cancel choose a mortar or any other option. iPhone 8 Plus on IOS 15.6. Need help getting pass this hiccup.

Very good game. I think it's very well made and worth the ten dollars. There are a lot of different challenges and just as many strategies to overcome them. You choose the make up of your crew and the set up and weapons and whatever ship you can afford. It's pretty realistic too which some may not like, but personally I appreciate it. When you die you can either try to continue from the lowest ship with no crew or load your last captain's log which can end being a lot of progress lost. I can't wait to finish the campaign and explore the other game modes.

Game Broke. It was a fun game until I got to a port. I had already died so I was on a ship with two mortars and nothing else. The tutorial wouldn’t allow me to continue because of that. Very shortsighted.

Download. Looks interesting but the game won’t download on my iPad.

Open world. The combat is dynamic and buying different ships and weapons offers a lot of variety.

The economy needs work. Overall, a fun game. But getting lowballed on rewards for ship destruction/capture and having to grind a ridiculously long period in order to get a larger ship is highly annoying and bothersome, as is navigation within a given area.

Good game help fix bug. Love this game, good ui and story. Major bug issue though every time I close and open the app I have to restore my full game and dlcs, ….every single time. Very frustrating if your out of wifi access because you can’t play game please fix this I am playing the most recent iOS iOS version.

Great game. This game is fun to play. I just started it and it seems to be a great game, wish I didn’t have to pay for more parts of the game

Very very good. Intrigued by the free trial, but wary of the price, I forked over the cash and did not regret it. This is a very full and very long game… haven’t even dipped into the add on campaigns. A very well balanced game of strategy and hands on activity. Very good.

Good but a few problems. Don’t get me wrong this game is great but I think it is a little complex and confusing at first but once you get into it it is really fun. 5/5

Amazing Game, one of the best ship mobile games. Ive been playing, and I absolutely live the game. During the campaign you absolutely feel like you’re scrambling to thwart the cult, and Its so much fun. I haven’t bought the full game yet, and I wish that the game would tell you before that you need to purchase the full game in order to complete the campaign, but other than that, this seems very promising. I would definitely say that this game is going to be worth buying the full game. I almost wish this was ported to PC, because I would love playing this on my rig. Anyways, this game is amazing, the mix of lovecraftian cult and pirate simulator works so well, and I just live it.

Help?. Definitely a good game but the game will not let me change my cannons at all. And it doesn’t let you progress till you do so.

Buying weapons. Love the game, graphics and sound. However buying weapons for the first time in port, everything freezes, no matter where I press on the screen. There is a screen covering the ship and I can see half of the highlighted circle, but no matter where I press, unable to continue. Running game on iPad Pro 2022, 11”. Looking forward to playing further…

Price. I know everyone wants the game to be free to play but I understand the need for a little bit of cash considering there is no adds but I do still think that you should either drop the price to 5 dollars or do something else because I’m on the verge of buying it but I can’t decide it’s a great game but as soon as I saw that it worried me thank you.

One of the best mobile games. The story and play style is very well thought through. Fun and enjoyable all the way through.

Beat the game. Overall was a fun experience, till I got a good combo of weapons in the corvette which made the game to easy, to fast and really boring. The end I was hoping for a challenge but it ended with a single ship battle??? I don’t get to fight the big monster? The single ship didn’t even put up a fight, it lasted 30 secs and it was over. I want to see the game get progressively harder. I had high hopes for this game but about midway through it became underwhelming and just a meh game in the end. Was almost there …

Its good but... Stuck in tutorial, says purchase mortar gun but the script is in the way, and the check box doesn't work so i cant even play it. I was going to buy full version but if i cant even test it whats the point

Great game, but the app is buggy. Great game play. But (1) no offline play. I paid for the game, but every time I’m not connected I get shut down with a “purchase game.” Message, and (2) I defeated the boss, saved, went back, to find I have to defeat him again!

This game is amazing. This is by far the best game I have every played on my phone, & maybe even my life. The combat is amazing, the story is amazing, the fact you can do practically anything with your ship is amazing. This game is just awesome simply put. It is the best game I’ve ever played, & it was well worth the money.

Great game behind a pay wall. I love the game. I loved the fighting mechanics and fixing and managing your crew. The sea was amazing too. Plus you can board ships? Wow! I think it can be a good game since I love everything about it but the full game is locked until I pay. As a kid with no money I cannot finish it which makes me sad. Other than that it’s good!

Amazing RPG game. Never thought that such a great game could be played on mobile but they did it and now it’s the only game I’ve been playing.

Worth the money. This is honestly a really good game. It has a large world map, multiple campaigns, and interesting side quests. The combat is comparable Faster Than Light on steam, and there are different strategies you can use. For a mobile game, it really has a lot going for it.

Not sure if I want to buy. It is an awesome game! The story and the gameplay.. everything is fine and amazing. It’s just that the preview of 10 minutes is very short window to make up my mind about spending the 8-12 dollars on it. I mean it looks great! But I’m still not convicted if it’s worth buying. With a longer free trial people would have more information on weather to buy or not. I’m still on the line… should I?

Great game. Love the game one wish is that the in app purchases are on the actual app page so I can buy the dlc there.

I approve. It’s a good game like an indie game on steam for $15. Good gameplay, decent story and a cool art style overall pretty good

Seems ok. When the game tells me to to buy the mortars and it runs through the screen , tap to add mortars and it freezes , it says I have no space. Can you fix this glitch, this will determine if I continue to like me game and buy it..

Perfect Mobile RPG. We need more games like this on the AppStore

Beautiful but heavily flawed creation. A game with plenty of micromanaging for the more initiated players, or headaches for the casual ones. Cliche story elements and blatant Lovecraftian references take you out of immersion, but the oceanic sound designs and art keep you invested. Horrible, horrible tutorials and overzealous controls with a learning curve so steep it would kill you before you complete them all. A game system’s basics are overwhelming if you could die to sheer confusion in tutorial mode set to the easiest mode, and this is one of them. Navigation, combat, positioning, statistics for each crew member, all this slows the flow of battle to a sluggish, agonizing pace. Not only are they unnecessarily detailed, they are not fun at all. At least with click+move strategy games, there’s a turn order and mind games you can play. With this, it’s literally a race against time as you frantically try to recall which is where, all the while you are pelted by cannonballs and screams of your crewmen. I believe the game is aware of this glaring issue but reluctant to fix it because the advice included in the tutorial is literally to “pause the game to search for the controls”. It’s like giving players a fistful of entangled yarn and a timed knitting challenge, instead of just a simple neat ball of yarn. “Just pause the challenge to untangle them! Totally not bad design.” A visually pleasing mess with lots of room for improvement. Would suggest a complete overhaul of the game system, otherwise it would kill a player’s appetite before they reach the main course, let alone purchase your DLCs. As for the ship’s map controls, add a joystick to replace the drag-to-move system, or maybe even a “draw your course” auto-pilot tool. It’s misreading inputs and heading in locked directions I cannot correct unless I let go to tap time and time again.

Only a trial. Enjoyable but way too short. Had completed the first stages in a very short timeframe and was then told I need to pay to play further, well disappointing. Other than that, not a bad game at all.

Decent game. This game is Awesome but why do I have to pay 11 dollars just for the campaign

Disappointed. I have been waiting for this game for so long and it’s pretty boring and bad don’t get

Have to buy everything. Just a demo essentially. Everything necessary needs to be bought

Good game, but no War At Sea. This game is worth the money, and it is refreshing to see you can still buy a game once. If you live in a world where everything is free, you are the product :) This being said, the paying part of the game is just more of the same, so don’t expect it to be the sharewares of old (Reamlz, where ar’thou). I was quite underwhelmed with the customization of the ships, and what it meant in terms of strategy. Once I found taking a ship without sinking it just doubled the money I got, it just was not good enough. I now have a man of war (google it, ‘twas not that size of ship …) with most of the times the WHOLE crew on the cannons. Once the most dangerous weapon and or the helm are disabled, it’s game over. The randomness of the AI behavior during the boarding phases makes it safer to never bord another ship. Concerning the events, I like how unrewarding the game can be, not encouraging you to be good or evil. Results are random. That being said, I don’t see the point of the standard diving bells, which will generally harm your crew and yield very scarce resources. I avoid them entirely. The limited saves are a nice touch, but only matter in the first part of the game. The (fantastic) kraken mechanism is too short lived, despite it giving a great sense of urgency to the gameplay that is lacking in the rest of the quests. I feel this game is a missed opportunity to create something more complex, either with a global strategic component (gather a fleet, create an empire, man sea forts …) or a deeper customization and more complexity in battles. I do not regret buying it, but I will check for updates and hopefully a second opus.

Very very far below. Looks good when it was coming soon. Once the game came out is was very very far below what I thought it was gonna be. Don’t recommend and you need to pay 20$ to unlock free roam

Amazing. This game is so fun and good but why do you have to pay to play I got rid of the game because you had to pay and so there was nothing to do!!

Cute games so far. Neat concept. Enjoying so far. Wondering if there is some free play to make money and upgrade the ship.

Good. Not worth money. The game is great. Spent plenty of time on it. Problem is the game isn’t worth the money since it’s not updated.

The title of this game says it all. Imagine playing a game, thinking you would have the freedom to play. Then be disappointed when 20 minutes later you are still being told what to do. Yes, twenty minutes the game still wants you to see all the lovely work the dev thought of. Deleted, regret even putting this on my wish list. Abandoned ship? this ship sunk.

Pretty good. It’s good I enjoyed the controls and systems to the game but it sucks that I can only do story unless I want to pay for free roam, etc. Also first

Fun Story Based Seafaring Adventure. I bought the full game. I think the developer should expand the free play part so people writing stupid reviews complaining about paying for a game go away. About the game. There is a sense of urgency as you flee the cultists always worried that the kraken will appear. Do you engage in ship to ship battles or flee? Lots to upgrade new ships to buy and sailors to recruit. I wish more games were developed this well and where you pay once and play forever. Thanks for bringing a cool game to IOS.

Devs want to get rich. The demo game is very good. It makes it seem like a really good game…until you play about five battles. The demo is very short and it only took me about 15 minutes to finish, would have been less had I not been trying to watch TV too. 😂 Once you finish the demo, it forces you to either pay $8.99 for the “main game” or $14.99 for the “main game + DLC”. In my opinion, paying that much for a game that seems good in a very, very short preview is trying to make too much money! Unless you want to play for less than 15 minutes or pay at least $9, then don’t download! It was a waste of my time and got me exited that I actually found a really good game!

Game is good. Fun and unique game

Phenomenal. This is one of those treasures in a sea of filth (puns intended). The story had me HOOKed immediately. If yar be looking fir a fun piratey game with eldritch horrors, ye've come ter the right place. Premium games like this (good ones at that) are so hard to come by. Mobile gaming is given such a bad rep with iap and freemiun titles that when something like this comes along, it's hard to put it down. Combat is clean and fun. I feel the impact of every enemy shot and every shot I land. The environmental effects are also really nice addition. Story is incredibly engaging. Although the premise of eldritch horrors and pirates isn't new, it's told in a different perspective that breaths life into the genre. On top, the artwork is all wallpaper worthy and helps to engage the reader. Some nitpicky things: -at this time it seems like saves are not transferable across devices. I started on my phone and realized that playing on my tablet makes unit selection easier. -That said, even at max zoom, it would be nice to have a bigger UI or zoom more on phone screens. I've got big fingers and tend to push multiple buttons at once. - Selecting all units from the bottom right button seems to occasionally not work. Even on the tablet with larger UI. - The sinking ship animation is a little long winded after seeing it many times. Having the "leave combat" button right after the victory splash would be nice -After clearing fog of war on maps, the arrow around your ship guiding to events dissapears. You can still see events by opening the large map, but having to go back and forth to ensure you're headed the right way can be tedious.

Eh. Could be a good, even great game. But the free part of the game only lasts 15 minutes until you have to pay $9 for the base game. Too risky, there is no way of knowing how long or rich the story will be

If I could play it…. Seems like a fun game. Then the tutorial pop ups blocked me from completing the tutorial or even advancing at all. I am unable to even play the game.

Worth it. I hear the complaints about how short it is before you have to pay but I went ahead and bought it and there is a ton of gameplay. I have no regrets whatsoever. The story is really good. Tons of exploration. Lots of weapons to play with.

Tutorial too long. It might be a good game. I don’t know. When I’d been playing for 25 minutes and was STILL in the tutorial I gave up. Tutorials in bits and pieces? Not a problem. Optional tutorials? Even better. Never ending, forced tutorials? Deleted.

Extremely fun game, unfortunately. You have to pay 9 dollars if you want to play, Don’t get jt

Review. This is truly a very fun game, and it has a lot of potential, but really, how many of us are going to pay 9$ for the campaign? Many more people would buy the game for a few dollars instead, therefore making the same profit.

Refuse to buy. I refuse to buy the full game for 9 dollars

Bugged. Bugged piece of trash

Money well spent. Everything about this game is awesome. Great story, great mechanics, no micro transactions, fun game play, and everything else in between. Buy it, you won’t regret it.

Bugs. Bugs every time I beat a boss, the screen just turn black and I reload the game, have to challenge everyone again and the game screen turns black every time! Please fix

Not worth the time. Interface is horrible and “tutorial” blocks you from completing tasks. Deleting this now.

Best Mobile Adventure Open World RPG SIM EVER. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH I BOUGHT IT ON STEAM AFTER I BOUGHT IT ON MOBILE

I’m disappointed. This is the worst game ever the controls are weird I deleted it 5 minutes after playing

:). :)

El mejor juego. El mejor juego de piratas

One star because I keep getting pestered to leave a review.. Other than that, the game seems pretty easy thus far, even with it being hard mode. I'm liking other parts of the game though.

Great Pirate action!. Offline play is great!

Lovin it. I’m not very far but it seems like an awesome fusion of AC:black flag and FTL. I love it so far.

Really good. I bought the campaign + the DLC just for 11$ it was totally worth it

Broken. Can’t move my ship can’t play offline and deleted my other reviews on this game I want a refund

Over priced. I will not pay that much money for this game

Great game but crashes way to often. When the game crashes sometimes it happens at the end of the battle so I have to restart the entire thing.. plus it changes the event your game auto saved you at

Good but. Honestly, amazing. The only problem is the game is locked behind a pay wall.

FTL Pirates?. Yes please! So far this was well worth the purchase. Barely scratched the surface, but the battles are engaging and fun.

seems great but hard to tell with tutorial pop ups. i’ll revise my review when you add an option to turn off the extremely annoying forced tutorial

don’t bother. constant never ending tutorial gets annoying after 10 minutes of gameplay. text is way too small for an iphone game. don’t bother. it’s a waste of time

Have to pay to unlock after 30 mins. You play for 30 mins/ 1 hour and then you MUST pay to keep playing. Burn the game and company.
