Fantastic, fantastic!!!

Great game, would write a larger review and give five stars, however I do have two issues the first one is very minor, I cannot attach my clan name to my user name making it where my own crew sometimes attacks me during tournaments, the second on leaves me unable to play for weeks at a time and my crews end up kicking me before I can explain that I do not have WiFi and every time they update it requires WiFi so... I may have to say goodbye to this fantastic game because I never know when I will be cut out.

Need to pay to have any chance

Nice graphics - can’t progress as too hard to level characters up. Need to basically pay to get anywhere. Would have been better when this gave was new but coming into it now is not fun

Response from developer

Greetings. There's no need to pay to get anywhere in our game. Everything can be achieved for free. In any case, thanks for the interest! We'll discuss your remark.

Not Even Pay to Win

Just poorly made, and the worst game i’ve played.

Players are leaving in numbers and clans can’t find regular players. Support only have excuses instead of addressing the problem.

The last 3 times i’ve sent a privateer, no one has hired even once because people are leaving the game.

I mean wow, i’m used to greedy developers charging an arm and a leg for nothing, but to make a game unplayable. These guys shouldn’t be on the app store, not on any app store.

This game won’t last.

Side Quests
I have 7 islands open and in the last 3 months & can only play 2 of them in side quests because the difficulty is too high. The developers told me to wait until my characters have higher levels. 3 months later, still not high enough.

Tournaments
I’m consistently placed in 5th place at the beginning of a tournament, and the player above me has cards 10,000 times stronger than me. Yeah, real awesome match making there.

Daily Quests
I’ve never player a game in my life where the daily quests have become so hard, you can’t even complete a daily. What was the developers answer there...wait until your characters have higher levels. It’s been 3 weeks, so by my calculations I should be able to play dailys again in 6 months. But I can guarantee that will last 4 weeks until its too hard again and I’ll have to wait another 6 months to play them again.

Attacking Pirate Ships
This is a scam. The lowest and easiest pirate ship to beat gives you 14 gold. You think great, once I level up, i’ll be able to attack higher level, harder ships. No, they make it so you’ll always never be able to beat the harder ships.

Domination
Once again, massive mismatch.

So what’s the point of the game when you make it so that we can’t play it? Amateurs.

Response from developer

Greetings! The thing is that every character has his own energy. So, if one of them ran out of energy then you just can use another one. However, we'll discuss your idea. Thanks for the detailed feedback!

Meh. And awful support

Game started pretty good. Fun graphics. Spent $20-25 on upgrades and advanced fast enough. Started having problems with the game freezing - on different WiFi networks. No response. Told them no more in game spending. No response. And without in game spending your progress crawls to a near stop. Recommend you find another game. With a dev team willing support its users...these guys are crap.

Have only downloaded game recently, but have to say not a bad little game to waste some time to runs well on the iPhone XS nice graphics no problems with the game so far! Nice one guys!😊

Give it a go!

Awesome game with well done animations. Haven’t found myself struggling for cards or stamina. If one runs out, I just swap to another. Absolutely fantastic as the game doesn’t force you to spend money in a “pay to win” model. If you choose to spend cash, that’s on you but isn’t necessary.

My only two gripes are:

1. The attack bar will sometimes lag, causing a “Weak” hit. Pretty frustrating when that happens on a tough fight;

2. The game will randomly close. Usually happens mid combat which brings about an auto-loss and your cards lose stamina. Again, not a huge issue except when it’s a tough fight.

As an added suggestion, while it’s great that you give ten minutes or so warning before server maintenance, it’d be great if there was an ETA on the downtime!

Keep up the good work, guys! Loving it!

Response from developer

Thank you for such detailed feedback! We already work on improving animations of the attack bar, we've done some work with stabilization and now everything should be even better, we'll think about the additional warning. Good luck in the battles!

Some broken mechanics

Hopefully the 1 star review gets the attention of the developers. Fix auto battle. It shouldn’t be a crapshoot. I loose approximately 75% of all auto battles, and I only use it for easy battles where my cards way outrank a weaker opponent. Beyond that, please fix the scaled screen for iPhone X users. The screen does not take in account the notch we have, and so we lose details.
This is a fun game. It’s clearly pay to win, but the pay aspect is so expensive that there are plenty of free only players.

Game is addictive

I am using up my crews use meters too quick and im bored when im waiting for them to recharge

Game does not force you to spend money which is good

Have a go!

Mobile game of the year 2018

Best game on my phone (which is a 6S) but could use more features like these. No.1 The ability to ask for cards of a character you don’t yet own. Like I have only 2 more cards for overseer until I unlock him but I have to wait for the next brawl and hope that it gives those type of cards. No.2 can use a upgrade on the prices of the chests, like I’m ok if you don’t do it because I just put this here because I’m running out out of ideas but I’m ok if you guys just reduce it by 25%. No.3 could you guys make it possible that we get more rewards,cards,gold,silver,excetra from the missions? Even though I said this is the best mobile game of 2018 and I was an early player I now don’t have as much time as I have to so this upgrade could really help me out and to wrap this up overall this is the best game in the world. Bye dev or random person reading this paragraph typed on my phone that took about 10 minutes.

Not bad needs some changes

The game is not bad but a couple abilities are over powered and sometimes rage is unequal. Throw bomb and Diehard do a ton of damage yet generate no rage for the team hit by it.

I have been through rounds where the other team got to pick 2 different special attacks at the same exact time yet I never had enough rage to get a single one. That really makes no sense at all. How can you use your rage bar to select an ability and then instantly it is full again with nothing happening in between and you get to pick another ability with another character.

Fix some of this unbalanced crap.
