    One of the best pirate experiences ever created, but not the best adventure game out there. It's an interesting proposal that fails on offering an deeper story.

    My relationship with the faction was positive, I had visited their cities and towns, but - for some reason - this one port just smashed my ship into smithereens before I could do anything and I respawned at my previous stop sans some of my cargo and money (the punishment for dying), cursing the fact that there’s no way to save your game.

    It’s sailing on, happy to be what it is – another pirate game with a skeleton crew.

    This is an absolute joke of a game, its interface is ios all the way, pictures without descriptions, no tool tips, bad menu design, bad townThis is an absolute joke of a game, its interface is ios all the way, pictures without descriptions, no tool tips, bad menu design, bad town interface, terrible character progression design.

    Attacking ships is laughable as they seem to get a wider firing range as opposed to your narrow bowling alley strip, your shots may never fire due to the unresponsiveness, when you do win, you get a paltry sum of floatsam, you do not get to take the ship to grab the full cargo or take it to port to sell, this is a shallow attempt when a major aspect as battle and piracy.

    I won't go into other aspects, if you need a game that piques your nautical trading and pirate interests, this one is just a chameleon at best. Try uncharted waters new Horizons for the snes, I rate that better.    … Full Review »

    Le jeu est vraiment moyen avec pas grand chose a faire à part aller d'un point A à un point B et combattre d'autres navires, d'autant plus que les déplacement en mer sont assez lents.

    It has some neat mechanics, and it's one of few games which implemented any kind of sailing / wind navigation mechanics which take into account wind direction and speed. Still, the movement is arcadey, the story is... I forgot if there is any. The ocean feels tiny because the scale is artificially reduced. As a player you can see things MUCH further away than the NPC ships can. The NPCs sail straight into a tornado without even trying to escape it. Upon getting within a certain range of an arcady-looking tornado thingy - the NPC ships instantly turn into a box with floating loot. No ship wrecking or sinking animations...
    It's OK to play this for an evening or two.    … Full Review »
