unskipable tutorials

the fact that every company across the planet know making unskipable tutorials in any form let alone freeze your screen until you do only what it wants you to do it a blatantly stupid thing to do that ruins a game but you guys managed to make it break the game in the first 10 minutes of playing though it if you die and can’t equipped some stupid mortars. remove the fact that it freezes the game and remove the fact that you can’t just get rid of the pop ups that block most of the screen and block the highlights and user bubbles half the time. truly a horrible first experience with a very good looking game with a great idea backing it. but the way you dealt with the tutorial is BEYOND clunky and feels unprofessional for a game developer and a company of your capability.

Addictive

Can’t put this game down. Awesome!

Needs controller support

Just as it says. Controller please

Disappointed

Graphics, music, and storyline are stunning. Forced tutorial and overly complicated UI ruined this for me. In some areas the user is given little to no choices and in others too many. This feels like a design flaw that I hope is improved.

Amazing Game

Love this game. Replaying again for the third time. Hours of game time. Still finding new quests!

Great game

Great game with fun gameplay and a good story. Only problem is that it doesn’t recognise that I purchased the game when I’m in flight mode.

Fun

Love it

Impossible to play

I am 25 and am always good at any game I play I for the life of me couldn’t figure out the tutorial it’s asking you to press buttons but I don’t know what the grape shot button is or what it looks like it tell you to tap on the ship to attack tapping doesn’t do a thing this even if I figured out all of this I still don’t see what the appeal is blowing up some npcs boat in 360p graphics this game is truely awful

Should you purchase?

At the start of the game everything was great and I was having fun so I purchased the full campaign + DLCs. After a while things became repetitive but I wanted to finish the storyline. Once I defeated the cult I went on to try the DLCs but there I found more of the same gameplay . If given the option to spend the $10 again I wouldn't because the game needs balancing and additional features such as another recruitable species / crew class, different battle scenes (ex: fighting on land, defending a water mortar thingy), more ships in a battle, different objectives in battle (ambush, flank, etc.

Extremely Complicated

Couldn’t get past the tutorial, this game is like reading an encyclopedia of more than 150 pages of explanations of what each button does. A shame cause I like pirate games but this requires a few masters degrees in being overweight to play a single level.

Pay to play

This game is an actually a decent game. The only thing I didn’t like is finding out you have to pay to actually play the game. You only get to play tutorial till you find out you have to pay in order to play the full game. I get it may be to set up to get you to pay and play but not ideal. Anyways thanks for letting me try it. Please be cheaper so I can play the game.

Great game, but no family sharing

Interesting game. The mechanics are not too tricky, and are easy to learn. The underlying plot is very satisfying. I’ve played for several 2-3 hour sessions, and have been engrossed.

My only complaint is no Family Sharing on the full game upgrade. Doesn’t seem right.

Great game. Enjoying.

Title says it all. Wouldn’t mind supporting them with their additional content, which turns out to be a great value too. The quality of life tweaks I would say are all on the assigning-starting-positions-on-the-ship-screen, you can only see icons of the weapons manned on one side (the ship facing right) but not on the opposite side, and the screen is quite small. Zoom in more. Use that negative space so you can be more accurate in assigning where they go. I also forget what weapons are on which side. Maybe the names of the weapon can be shown cuz some are not visually distinct enough. Can a lot be done by the player? Yes, hence why it’s a quality of life suggestion. But yeah, the biggest is the no icons on the opposite side for easy assignments.

Autosaving cost me 3 restarts

I’ve had to restart 3 times no because it auto saves right before I die and some idiot made it so you can’t manually save, waste of money

Stop asking me to rate the game.

Fun game, but the game interrupting requests for a rating earn this one star rating. Stop it.

good game

this is actually a very good game and I would highly recommend purchasing the full game to get the better options and stuff and so you can actually explore the game. I will say this the random bits are like the same 8 to 12 events to just have random outcomes and the AI is very very simplistic and does not offer very much challenge once you get two separate upgrades as soon as you harpoon their boat, they will drop everything to cut the lines which means they will stop shooting back and they will stop fleeing from you. And as soon as you get the performance upgrade on the mask, you will change lane so fast that they can’t get away from you anyway.

Tutorial gives faulty instructions on how to fire cannons

The instructions given in the tutorial for firing guns during a sea battle do not work in your first post-tutorial engagement. Your ship gets pounded by the opposing ships guns while no amount of tapping gets your own guns to fire. And you cannot find anyway to get the guns to fire by recreating the tutorial’s instructions. Ruins the experience.

Fun

A fun game but once your wanted level creeps up there is no way out besides to pay them off. Every bounty Hunter you defend against just raises your wanted level even if you’ve been working to lower it…then you can’t even get into port to fix your ship

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO PAY TO SKIP A TUTORIAL

The game is really good in all but if you die or want to restart you have to go through the tutorial again(unless you PAY money) and the tutorial won’t let you skip and it way to long it would be nice if you didn’t have to PAY to skip a TUTORIAL. Who makes a game where you have to pay to skip the tutorial
