In the future a game like this should be a fight and not a slap knockout going viral ### 3/5 — Restart *2021-08-10, version 2.01.33539* How do i restart the game ### 4/5 — Good, but only on WiFi *2020-10-21, version 2.01.33539* Simply does not work on 4G. Get about 8 seconds of gameplay before it loses connection and reboots. Very frustrating. Worth more stars but this really drags it down. UPDATE: This issue was fixed in the last update. Been almost a year since the game last had an update though.... ### 4/5 — The game crashes too much *2020-08-30, version 2.01.33539* Im on the fourth map, but every time I try to load the game, it shows the map, goes to a cutscene, then it just crashes over and over. I have been trying to play for days to no avail, but otherwise one of the best games I played. ### 3/5 — Fun game, Decent Story *2020-08-21, version 2.01.33539* This is a fun game. Exceeded expectations. Only downside is the animations don’t very based upon character or group. Women have male movement, and all living characters mimic skeletons. It would be nice if all characters had specific movements. Even tribes act like the empire. Once this is changed or updated, the game would be perfect. ### 2/5 — Stop being greedy. *2020-07-20, version 2.01.33539* Get rid of the stamina bar for your heroes and I’d give it a 5/5 ### 2/5 — Promising game with broken mechanics *2020-05-28* I was in a good mood to try a new game and this one was listed as one of the currently popular games on iOS. I liked the setting so jumped straight into it and after a week getting rid of it. I have nothing to do apart for grinding chapter 1 item levels. Every pirate ship (other players) feature teams of rare (or better) heroes with power between 1k-1.5k while I only have three rare heroes (one of them given to you on first day) with power 600. All heroes / unlocks I get are common garbage heroes who die in one shot even when I compete against AI. This must be the first time I see a game that sinks you on your second day basically forcing you to pay. Can’t beat ships, can’t beat anyone in tournaments and by mid-week I could not even beat daily challenge. Nothing to do, unlocking a bottle with +3 health to pirate won’t make any difference on my lowly characters. Secondarily battles themselves are frustrating with QTE I struggle to master (and I never did). You cannot pause in the mid-fight like in other games so if you play while waiting for something that urgently needs your attention then you’re screwed. Certain QTE mechanics don’t even explain what are you meant to do to score critical which makes it difficult a bit more as well. Overall a shame this game’s mechanics, heavy rng susceptivity and uneven matching send any newcomin pirate down the plank... ### 4/5 — Fun but not enough *2020-04-07, version 2.01.33539* Good game i like everything but wish there was more pve stuff to do with friends like maybe a coop dungeon take turns battling harder n harder enemies or fighting creatures of the sea together. ### 1/5 — Worst customer service ever *2020-04-06* It takes at least three weeks for them to respond if you have ANY problems. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a fun game and fast paced, hope you have a strategic brain and fast fingers. That being said, their server crashes and causes you to lose gold. It’s not just me that has been saying this. Other clan mates of mine have had it happen even more times than I’ve experienced. I tried to report it to customer service when it happened to me. But like I said, when (and if) you get a response, they won’t help or reimburse you for the hard earned money you pay to play this scam of a game. ### 1/5 — Trash *2020-03-19, version 2.01.33539* This game is trash. When you first start the game it’s cool but after the 1st story it gets way to challenging for my level and really can’t progress without spending money. Another game that cares only about money and not your enjoyment. If you like pirates and live spending money on non important things then this game is for you. I have deleted it and will never download it again. So glad I didn’t spend a penny! Good luck game creators ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crap, trash, glitchy, and cash grab, pay to win!! *2023-11-10, version 2.01.33539* Nonexistent customer service, double charges and no refunds, kept getting Apple notice for charges months after I deleted game! Move on! Only pay to win and the pay is huge and the win is minimal. Art is dated, tournaments are designed for tho spend, straight up rip off game! ### 1/5 — Company lacks concern for customers *2022-04-09, version 2.01.33539* Some game features did not work for a month. Yet subscription fees were not reduced and company did not see a valid reason to compensate players for their trouble. Love the game, but disappointed in the company. Seems we support the game more than they do. I guess the old saying you get what you pay for does not apply to Crazy Panda Players. ### 1/5 — DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY UNTIL THEY FIX THIS! *2022-04-01, version 2.01.33539* Chat has been down for almost a month! Can not talk to anyone and VERY difficult to join a clan. They claimed they were working on the issue BUT it’s been almost a month! How long does it really take? DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY UNTIL THEY FIX THIS! ### 1/5 — HATE SPEECH WELCOME *2021-12-14* There is one player in this game that has been reported more times than all the rest of the players combined. And yet the moderators and developers continue to protect him. Is it because he’s Russian? Is it because he is from the same country as the games creators (a.k.a. crazy panda) ? In the Game’s chat, this player has verbally abused many. In the Chats this player has openly celebrated 9/11. This player is known to have sent personal messages of death threats. And yet the moderators/developers do nothing. If you support hate speech then go ahead and download this game. Many have tried to get the moderators/developers attention. But apparently they don’t care It really is a shame. Because I agree with the others… The game itself is wonderful. ” We’ll take care of this situation “… THEY HAVE DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!! YouCan always block a player?? THAT’S THEIR ANSWER?!! Meanwhile this player spews hatred throughout the global chat! He is obscene!! He is hateful!!! And the moderators let it continue. They are complicit! They are incompetent! They must want it to continue! There are many in the game that have been abused and are convinced that the only reason this player is allowed to continue is because he is Russian. I thought we were finally passed this type of endorsed hate speech. But by allowing him to continue that’s what the moderators are doing … endorsing hate speech. **Developer response:** We'll take care of this situation. You can always block messages from any person in the game. ### 1/5 — 🗑🗑🗑🗑🗑🗑 *2021-01-05, version 2.01.33539* The game does NOT LOAD. 🗑🗑🗑🗑🗑 ### 1/5 — Game won’t load *2020-10-06, version 2.01.33539* I downloaded this game and when I opened it the game wouldn’t load. I checked my WiFi and internet connection but it was fine. I used the help icon in the game, no one answered, I don’t even think my messages were read. I would not recommend this game to anyone, the developers don’t even care about their consumers. ### 1/5 — Wow! *2020-08-04, version 2.01.33539* Nice and cool game I pretty love this game because the characters look like they are READY FOR BATTLE! ### 1/5 — Would give it less than one star *2020-07-31, version 2.01.33539* There is an annoying bug at the beginning of the game. It won’t let me play it. ### 1/5 — Not responsive *2020-04-29, version 2.01.33539* I tried reaching out to the help line and still haven’t received any feedback. I sure wish they were more responsive ### 1/5 — Trash dont download *2020-04-09, version 2.01.33539* The intro is way to long i dont want to spend an hour on tutorials on a simple game that was understood within two secs of playing and i cant do anything its complete trash not worth the grind at all ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Any updates happening soon?! *2023-12-12, version 2.01.33539* Thx ### 5/5 — Pirates *2022-10-12, version 2.01.33539* This is without a doubt one of the best rare games on the app store,I love the graphics and the finishing moves ans the noises of the swords are so satisfying ### 5/5 — Great Game but *2021-08-04, version 2.01.33539* All I ### 5/5 — Play fool *2021-07-06, version 2.01.33539* I played this game two times it’s amazing also don’t hate on this game it’s just fantastic ### 5/5 — Best game I’ve ever played *2020-11-03, version 2.01.33539* This game is really good I keep working on it when I lose a battle.
