  • Excellent Game

    This is one of the best games that has been published in some time. I have become very picky about choice games, and I enjoyed this one very much.
  • This was great

    I had a lot of fun. Definitely worth the money. The story was a bit shorter than expected, but it was an awesome story nonetheless.
  • Buggy

    The game has many bugs in it. It needs an update to fix them.
  • Amazing!

    I am beyond happy that COG made a pirates story.. Greatly written and some pretty fine character development. Worth every penny.
  • Amazing

    Playable and delightful let's see more games like this!!
  • Must... Have... Sequels!

    This is one of my favorite Choice of Games stories since 'Romance' and if you liked that one you'll want another epic length portion of this one (or three). The premise and world are just so cool. Does it seem too short? Yes, but part of that is because it's so immersive a story.

    (SPOILER WARNING)

    I would seriously pay full price again to have a supplemented version with a more full version of the final battle-- the setup for the big fight was really great- but then the fight itself was over much too quickly-- still, the ending wrap up was done really well which (almost) made up for the short climax. I think it's unprecedented for a COG story to add "levels" after initial release, but this story is worth the attempt.

  • Great fun pirate adventure!

    Definitely had fun playing this story, lots of options, and ways to play and personalized your pirating experience. It definitely made me enjoy Choice of games again when a title respects the player's decisions and adds to the story like this one, rather than punish players for not picking a particular stance.

    Really enjoyed this title, looking forward to more experiences that do justice to the CYOA genre in the future.

  • It's ok

    It's only alright, not really one of the best. The love interests are a little boring and the story is a almost a straight path. Short read time and a couple of bugs make this not really worth the money. Wish it was better because pirates are awesome
  • Eh.

    I wouldn't particularly recommend it... It lasts perhaps two hours and the choices are very limited. I felt very underwhelmed with the rushed plot in general and I couldn't connect with any of the characters. People may like this game but I personally did not.
  • Well played

    It should be noted that I'm only just finished my first read through (hyper-magical, super rich pirate king over here). I enjoyed this. Despite finishing it in one sitting, I'm realizing it had about a 3 hour read time or so, and I hit most of the events, I think. I will be replaying the other paths that I missed, since there's a whole other half of the story to see. One way or another, this really is a great game. The action is a bit fast, overall, and I really don't get how some people died their first run (seems strangely impossible to do, honestly). This is a simple, easy read. One that is well worth the cost AND worth replaying as well.

    I'm off to go side with the crown this run. Wish me luck, I'll probably need it. =/
