Not even a cutesy pixel art style. Language is very very poorly translated meaning the games systems and mechanics are largely a mystery. Boring gameplay. Save yourself the trouble ### 3/5 — Hard strategy *2025-09-26, version 3.5.4* Hard to follow instructions, map download to Caribbean has stopped loading ### 5/5 — Quality *2025-06-06, version 2.7.6* This game is better than I expected, a lot of fun. Lots of free chest to make the game interesting. Well done ### 5/5 — Life of a pirate *2025-05-29, version 2.7.6* Good game so for trade to build up your ships ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-04-13, version 2.7.6* Great game ### 5/5 — Fun Time Passer *2025-03-20, version 2.7.6* It’s enjoyable and pretty rewarding ### 2/5 — Pay to win *2025-03-14, version 2.7.6* Played for a few days and it’s definitely not a five star game. All these people giving 5 stars are only looking to get the in game rewards. Tasks are repetitive, lots of grinding, constantly getting attacked and robbed by higher level players. This is why they have 800 servers since you really can’t progress unless you pay or join the new server early to take the advantage. ### 5/5 — Nice *2025-03-07, version 2.7.6* Nice game ### 5/5 — Old School - Love it! *2025-02-19, version 2.7.6* This is by far the best old school games. Though it has the pay2win elements, it’s totally a play2win game. Love the simple back and forth trading mechanics. Two suggestions to the developers, include more random valuables from killing other pirates (like teleport, skip etc.) and also include weather mechanics. At least the four seasons with different visuals. ### 5/5 — Good game *2025-02-16, version 2.7.6* This game is awesome and fun. ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-02-10, version 2.7.6* Great game. Not just another pay to win game. Requires some patience though. ### 5/5 — Gripping game and not bombarded with adverts *2025-02-08, version 2.7.6* Love playing king of ocean play everyday ### 5/5 — Great AFK Game *2025-01-20, version 2.7.6* The King of Ocean offers a charming and nostalgic gameplay experience with its multi-tiered trade system, which adds depth and strategy to the game. While the graphics are simple, they contribute to the nostalgic feel, making it enjoyable for those who appreciate old-school aesthetics. One of the game’s standout features is its accessibility—it doesn’t heavily rely on players spending real money to progress, which is refreshing in the mobile gaming space. It’s perfect for anyone looking for a relaxing AFK trade game to pass the time. Overall, I’d highly recommend The King of Ocean to players who enjoy casual, trade-focused gameplay and don’t mind simpler graphics. It’s a great choice for downtime entertainment! ### 5/5 — Good *2025-01-07, version 2.7.6* Great ### 5/5 — Love *2024-12-20, version 2.7.6* This game is amazing! ### 5/5 — . *2024-12-13, version 2.7.6* Good game, it is as advertised ### 5/5 — Fun! *2024-11-04, version 2.7.6* I am pleasantly surprised. Many things to do to keep busy. You can go offline and not get wiped and farmed by bigger players. You can choose to spend or just okay casually and grind out free in game resources. I put 4 other games on back burner and haven’t been bored playing only this game. Recommended👍👍 ### 5/5 — King of the ocean *2024-09-23, version 2.7.6* Great game ### 5/5 — A great game *2024-09-11, version 2.7.6* Highly addictive ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — waste of time *2025-06-22, version 2.7.6* they offer rewards for a “5 star review.” poor performing game with lots of bugs which go unanswered by the team. Was ok for a week until i realized the game stinks. if you want a 5 star review - earn it! ### 1/5 — After 18 months off playing *2024-02-13, version 2.7.4* It took me long time to understand that game its all pay to win and its only takes one player on server to open the credit card and its game owner!!! ### 1/5 — 15 min wasted *2023-12-22, version 2.7.4* The dumbest thing i had to deal with. Wasted my time creating a new game and all the names are either taken or not allowed. Even the recommended names are saying not allowed. Stupid. Delete yourself! ### 1/5 — Game frozen can’t progress *2023-11-05, version 2.7.4* Went into the first instance and the game froze on my iPad, tried closing and uninstalling/reinstalling. Not happy about this. It just black screens with sound effects then closes the app 😫 ### 1/5 — Blissful Failure *2023-09-15, version 2.7.3* Cool game with an interesting twist showcasing different facets in a unique way. However, you have to pay money to make any real progress. Once you get past the first week of play you’re at a massive disadvantage, even if you were to hypothetically spend money. Pay lots to play all the way, not even as simple as pay to win. The “game pass” available is impossible to accomplish, unless you pay money. The bonuses you can get in game for linking your social media account or giving them a five star review doesn’t work. Wasted opportunity for a really creative game that could have been great. ### 1/5 — This game is a fraud *2023-08-19, version 2.7.3* Fake ads. Fake reviews. Asking a ton of permission on startup and requiring registering an account with your personal information. What kinda game does that nowadays? This game is a fraud. ### 1/5 — Game still doesn’t work after another update. *2023-06-19, version 2.7.3* Not even sure they are tying to fix it. Do not get this game ### 1/5 — iPad no fix *2023-06-14, version 2.7.2* No fix for iPad until a new update, you will fall behind other players if using ipad ### 1/5 — Update makes game unplayable *2023-06-07, version 2.7.2* New update doesn’t play on iPad Pro. Customer support is extremely slow and not helpful ### 1/5 — Don’t bother downloading *2023-04-06* The customer service is terrible. And really slow ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-08-09, version 3.5.8* Fun game to play. Does require a little money to keep up. ### 5/5 — Pirate game *2026-04-20, version 3.5.6* Actually been playing for several years. You can advance without spending real cash but it takes time and effort. Good amount of modifications available, people in game are fairly cool. Not a bad app with decent action and graphics. ### 5/5 — The best most relaxing game *2026-03-16, version 3.5.6* This is my go to evening stress reliever, play without ads. ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-11-21, version 3.5.5* Good concept interesting idea but slow for ship building materials have to grind it out ### 5/5 — Long terms player *2025-08-26, version 3.5.4* Games rely good like how to have mead the game easier for new players lots more fun to have in game . ### 5/5 — Nostalgic *2025-08-17, version 3.53* Definitely a game to recommend to uncharted waters fans ### 5/5 — Fun game *2025-08-11, version 3.53* Games is fun to play with daily tasks ### 5/5 — Fun game, new servers *2025-08-03, version 3.53* Fun game, few bugs still need to be worked out. ### 5/5 — Nice game *2025-07-29, version 3.53* I love this game. ### 5/5 — Could be better, but fun *2025-06-15, version 2.7.6* I’m the weird person who prefers diplomacy and trade on big world games rather than combat. So I really like that bit. The combat isn’t bad either because you can skip it. I just wish there was more to this game. Finding a spouse and creating a pirate family empire, for instance. Actual Treasure hunts where you have to go to a number of points. Each one would have a small treasure until the big one at the end. There is tons they can do with this! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
