    I'll give this a 5/10 to offset the zero reviews below! It's an indie game and one mustn't expect AAA quality from it.

    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    I'll give this a 5/10 to offset the zero reviews below!

    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.    … Expand

    An extremely unengaging gameplay and bad graphics mine what could be an interesting addition to the pirate genre.

    Entertaining without ever surprising, Tempest still suffers from some design flaws that should be absolutely corrected to improve the overall experience and make the game more accessible in the early stages.

    You would think a pirate game would have a brimming personality. Yet, sailing around, doing mission after mission, I never feel like a pirate. I never dig up treasure, get in trouble with the law or even meet any famous pirates.
