First thing when I load into the game I am spammed with “deals” from the shop and have to close out of like 5 or 6 right off the bat. Please get rid of that. It is only bothersome. Other than that the game is great. I’m in airports a lot just hanging out so I play it here and there and really enjoy it! ### 2/5 — Good game but… *2026-08-10, version 1.51.13* …too many ads. I would pay for an add free version, but it doesn’t appear to be an option. Sadly, I’m going to uninstall, as in have to spend more time watching ads than playing. ### 3/5 — Only put 3 stars because the idea of the game and the actual gameplay is ok. *2026-08-09, version 1.51.13* In the first 30 seconds it tells you your options are to sacrifice a stranded girl for free, or watch a video to save her… the ad was well over 60 seconds! I played for maybe 5 minutes total and got about 4 ads. ### 2/5 — Too Much Bad *2026-07-24, version 1.51.13* Great game.. too much bad in that you are forced sales on every opening of the game. You are forced parrot purchases or ads to gain materials all over the map. I almost stopped playing. Anyways I kept playing because the game control is quite good and it’s a fun to explore the map and fight the monsters, level up etc. I also had a hard time adjusting to fighting the “challenges” to keep progressing. Ok so it’s not just an adventure game but you have to play a mini arcade game consistently which is not easy to complete. Fine. Ok so you hit level 7 challenge and your ship will not even regenerate health. Do you just expect us to just buy buy buy to continue in the game? Such a shame. Your business should be ashamed because they did not a create a game, more a money grabbing mechanism. Impossible to keep playing. ### 3/5 — Display issues *2026-07-17, version 1.51.13* There’s wayy too many things blocking the view during gameplay. I understand having promotions and such, but it’s not helpful in any way when you can’t see where you’re going and such. Ideal for iPads and larger phones but not everybody has that. ### 3/5 — Ads, ads, ads, ads ads, ads, ads……. *2026-07-02, version 1.51.12* One hour into it, fun, but the ads kill, kill, KILL the fun…… ### 3/5 — Good game *2026-05-30, version 1.51.10* Good game to many apps is hard to enjoy the game with all this apps ### 2/5 — Not optimised *2026-04-29, version 1.51.8* I was playing lost over 30 percent in under 30 minutes my iPad was very hot sometimes it would crash ### 2/5 — Cute game, horrid ad system *2026-04-26, version 1.51.8* Gotta love forced ads on a timer, then the forced ads are of the 2 minute variety that mandate opening the App Store. I’d rate worse if possible. ### 3/5 — Boo ads *2026-04-25, version 1.51.8* Good for a chill game, rather not have to watch ads. Just get rid of ads. Ps boo ads ### 1/5 — Worst game ever. You have to watch more adds than actually playing. *2026-04-23, version 1.51.8* This game would be fun if you didn’t have to watch an add for everything you do. I spent more time watching adds than I did actually playing. ### 2/5 — THE ADS *2026-04-14, version 1.51.8* The game is fun and all, but the ads kill the joy. Constant ads popping up literally for no reason. ### 2/5 — Would be a fun game but Too many ads *2026-04-11, version 1.51.8* I never leave reviews but I wish someone had warned me about the ads! I bought the advertised no ads package and it really was an add decrease rather. The game is not fun enough to put up with so many ads! They take up a quarter of the screen at all times. If I could get my money back I would. When you first log into the game after be off for a bit, at least 3-4 ads pop up. It Could be a good game but it’s basically barely playable because of all the ads they want you to watch. Safe your money ### 1/5 — Pop ups and ads *2026-04-11, version 1.51.8* There are so many ads and pop ups the game is practically unplayable. You’d spawn in and get hit with so many ads, sometimes die because I can’t click out of it. The graphics are horrible and game mechanics suck. Another money hungry “game”. ### 1/5 — 퉤 *2026-04-04* 이건 게임이라고 할수도없음 광고가 5분에 2번씩 처나옴 이딴게임을 하라고 처만들어놨나 카악퉤 **Developer response:** 안녕하세요, 이지허니님. 게임을 즐기시는 데 불편함을 느끼셨다니 안타깝습니다. 광고가 자주 나오는 점에 대해 말씀해 주셔서 감사합니다. 광고는 게임 개발을 지속할 수 있도록 도와주지만, 광고의 양을 줄이는 가능성에 대해 고려하겠습니다. 여러분의 소중한 의견에 귀 기울이고 있으며, 앞으로도 더 나은 경험을 제공하기 위해 최선을 다하겠습니다. ### 1/5 — Too many advertisements(ads) *2026-03-31, version 1.51.5* Never played a game with so many ads. Start the game you get bombarded with in game promotions, then as you play the game: you level up - you watch an ad. you die - you watch an ad. You defeat a boss - you watch an ad. Playing the game - you watch an ad. Game asks if you like the ads, you say no - receive an in game punishment and you watch an ad. You try to do anything in game to avoid watching ads - you watch an ad ***not exaggerating*** Producers of this game simply and only want money and they definitely throw it in your face with ads and in game promotions ### 1/5 — Fv¢king Ads. With tiny bit of a game *2026-03-27, version 1.51.5* I don’t mind ads. Quick ads or ones that let you try a demo. What I hate is you’ve LOOPED the same damn Ad 2 and 4 times. A long thirty second ad that has to play twice. Or more. Fv¢k your Ads that have sprinklings of a game within them. Deleted and I wish I could Obliterate from this App Store to save everyone the bother. ### 1/5 — Adds and Microtransactions *2026-03-23, version 1.51.5* Another garbage mobile game that screams give me your money and then spams you with adds ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nothing but ads and sales *2026-09-05, version 1.51.13* Title sums it up. The amount of pop ups I got for watching an ad or buying something in the first five minutes alone turned me off ### 1/5 — Fun game, but ads don’t get removed when paid *2026-08-17, version 1.51.13* Fun game to move around in, but when you pay for no ads, there shouldn’t be anything locked behind ads. Disappointed and expected more for 8$. ### 1/5 — The ads are stupid long *2026-08-10, version 1.51.13* I get you need to make money but having adds that are almost a minute long is a freaking joke then when you can finally click out of the main add it takes you to the next screen and you wait another 10 to 15 seconds before you can click out of the secondary ad ### 1/5 — Не рекомендую игру *2026-08-06, version 1.51.13* Игра предлагает тебе пакет за 8$ в которых входит отсутствие рекламы, буквально 5 раз получилось без рекламы забрать бонусы, а потом рекламы все равно прогружаются, если вы планируете играть в эту игру, рекомендую не донатить в нее, тк эти деньги безоговорочно будут выкинуты в молоко. ### 1/5 — Forced adds *2026-07-17, version 1.51.13* If you love watching forced adds every 1 minute this is the game for you ### 1/5 — WAY TOO MANY ADS! *2026-06-29, version 1.51.12* Only download if you like ads! ### 1/5 — Bugged event tickets *2026-06-28, version 1.51.12* After spending $40 in this game, the next day my event tickets were bugged and I haven’t received event tickets for days now. Asked support for help and got a “”devs are busy, hopefully your problem is fixed in future updates””. Hopefully apple gives back a refund for this broken game. ### 1/5 — Not loading.. *2026-06-24, version 1.51.12* Doesn’t want to load, comes to the loading screen and gets stuck on checking the maps. Long. ### 1/5 — Ads ads ads *2026-06-10, version 1.51.10* Why can't we play five minutes without an ad? ### 1/5 — Too many stuff to watching *2026-05-08, version 1.51.10* Every time if open the new challenge, have to watch 3-5 min commercial😢 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Edison Broederlow Lavatai jr *2026-04-16, version 1.51.8* Edison the pirate king of the dead ### 5/5 — Nothing but an Awesome App !! *2026-03-08, version 1.51.5* Well U peeps Did an Fricking Sweet job on this app !! When i wanna ignore the other half this does the JOB !! All i say is im goin ### 5/5 — 도대체 뭐지 *2025-09-08* 제가 알고 있던 게임이랑 방식은 똑같은데 그래픽이 아예 다르네요. 혹시 전에 아예 게임을 바꿔버리는 패치를 했었나요? 아니면 그냥 다른 게임인건가요? **Developer response:** 안녕하세요, 레전더리앙리님! 게임의 그래픽 변경에 대한 질문 정말 감사합니다! 새로운 모습이 마음에 드셨기를 바라며, 앞으로도 계속 즐겁게 플레이하시길 바랍니다. 추가적인 질문이나 문제가 있으시면 언제든지 지원팀에 연락해 주세요! ### 5/5 — Pirate raid *2025-05-29, version 1.45.0* Good ship game, worth a play 👍 ### 5/5 — FINALLY A GREAT APP STORE GAME *2025-02-12, version 1.39.1* This game is Great. It’s a pirate ship game shooting at other pirate ships game. You can also upgrade and get other pirate ships in this game. There are A LOT of levels. There are Few commercials. There are good graphics. There are no building a community or solving stupid puzzles here. There is No Catfishing here what you see is what you get & that is a Pirate Ship Game Shooting At Other Pirate Ships Game With Great Graphics & Few Commercials. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Jdog747 *2025-01-26, version 1.39.1* Way to spend time while you’re organizing your day or relaxing for the evening ### 5/5 — Fun *2024-10-05, version 1.32.0* Great game just wish we get the chance to skip the long adds l!! There are some long adds without the option to skip them it’s just not fair. Makes the game sucks. ### 5/5 — Nice ship game *2024-08-14, version 1.31.0* Wonderful graphics!! ### 5/5 — Pirate Raid is an awesome game. *2024-08-13* The only thing I dislike about the game, is the same complaint that I have about all of the other games, I’ve got to sit through a lot of ads, and I just wish this game were different, ahead of the pack of you will, and allow people to actually own this game outright, by paying a big fat full price, (I would shell out a hundred bucks for this right to own a copy of the game…easily,) and not have to sit through advertising after advertising, after advertising. Otherwise, this game is a lot of fun to play. I’ve always enjoyed the concept of pirate games, whether it’s set on the high seas, or set in far reaches of outer space, pirate games are a lot of fun to play, and this game is one of the very best. Great job, and other than not allowing people to purchase a full version of the game without having to watch ads, I give this game a solid 5 out of 5, and highly recommend it to anyone who’s likes the genre. ### 5/5 — So fun *2024-08-08, version 1.31.0* I can’t stop playing it and there are some adds but barely any so great game I think you should get it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
