If it had people to be able to play as pirates I will rate it 5 stars and I think a lot more people will buy the game and love it. ### 2/5 — Awesome *2011-01-30, version 1.70* Needs more area. Needs health bar. More ships. ### 4/5 — Fun *2011-01-14, version 1.50* This game is fun but hard to control I mean back and froth but anyone should get it good time killer ### 3/5 — This game has a lot of promise... *2010-07-28, version 0* This game is a lot like Sid Meier's Pirates! on computer, and manages to compare on my new iPhone 4 which is a feat in itself. However, there are a few major things missing before my friends and me will purchase the whole game: 1. MULTIPLAYER--this game is begging for it, and I'm almost overwhelmed it doesn't already have it since it's such an explicitly fundamental component of this type of game. 2. MAPS--there needs to be less boundaries, and land-based port cities to sail into. Get creative! Land can be a boundary instead of out-of-context buoys! And with port cities you could do things like upgrade ship, attack the city, defend it, etc. Lots of room for development. 3. MULTIPLAYER--yes it's that important, literally the deal breaker. Bluetooth, wi-fi you name it. This would be among the very top apps with good real-time multiplayer like in Archetype. I know these things are possible, so take the opportunity and make these updates! This game exudes promise! If it possessed aforesaid features I would honestly spend $5-10 on the game, and the app. would become a must-have for just about everyone. ### 3/5 — Hm? *2010-07-23, version 0* Well its fun but i either need more lives or less stges for next area cuz i keep dieing ### 2/5 — Fun but cheap game... *2010-07-18, version 0* It takes a while to clear each area with 4 phases, need to have some kind of saving system so we can carrying on after receiving a call or something! And put some boats status info or something, don't know what the he'll we buying and upgrading for, looks so cheap at this point! ### 2/5 — Review *2010-07-02, version 0* Pros: 1. Fun for a minute 2. Satisfying when you hit your target Cons: 1. Cannons don't fire the direction you want most of the time. 2. The steering wheel will make my ship rotate oddly. 3. When using the wheel, you have to TAP the ship, which means reaching across the screen, obscuring your vision. 4. Enemy vessels can go outside the map limits, but you can't? 5. No in-game instructions. ### 4/5 — Solid game! *2010-06-30, version 0* I previously downloaded 'Warships' seeing as I've had a naval warfare obsession this week, this game is very fun. Not quite addicting, but very fun. The good & bad - Good: I. Graphics are on point. II. Gameplay is smooth. III. 'Area 3' is probably the best, addition of the companion ship is nice. Bad: I. Should be a way to slow down or stop the ship. II. Being able to manage the companion ship, as in strategy, so it's not mindlessly wandering about. III. A bigger map. Which I'm sure there probably is in the full version. IV. Sometimes the barrels add nothing?that's annoying when trying to buy upgrades. Overall, worth downloading because it's free. And has a small feel of Pirates of the Caribbean.... ;) ### 4/5 — Dilsh *2010-05-11, version 0* Хорошая игрушка! И холява есть! ### 4/5 — Very good! *2009-10-24, version 0* I just stayed up until 2:30am on a work night playing this game! Lots of fun but god help you if u spawn in the middle of a group of big ships! O_o ### 3/5 — Great *2009-10-12, version 0* Only prob is in lite when i try to axcess shop game closes! ### 4/5 — I love this game *2009-10-04, version 0* This game is so cool, ### 4/5 — Its OK *2009-09-26, version 0* It's pretty good. Not like full version but lot of fun buys this sail racking piriat game!! ### 4/5 — Brilliant!! *2009-09-26, version 0* Never get tired of it. One of my favorite apps!!! ### 2/5 — Bad *2009-09-14, version 0* Needs more upgrades ### 3/5 — It is so so *2009-08-18, version 0* I think it is not great or not bad ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Silly *2013-03-30, version 1.75* Dumb ### 1/5 — Fun for a while *2012-03-07, version 1.75* I would give this 5 stars if there was no barrier, accurate cannons, fair opponents (not 1 wave of tiny ships and 2 waves of over powered ships) basically make the 2nd level possible ### 1/5 — Dude28 *2010-12-28, version 1.50* CCRRRAAAPP ### 1/5 — Blah *2010-12-12, version 1.50* Could be good, but... - no health bars - one dimensional shoot em up game with a poor interface - very limited area to play in I tried getting into it. I really did, but it's pretty boring unless you're got very low standards. ### 1/5 — Ahaaahhh *2010-04-10, version 0* I HAAAAAATE this game omg piece of ### 1/5 — Recommend against this one *2009-08-05, version 0* I was a bit disappointed- there doesn't seem to be any ability to aim, or even choose which side of your ship is going to fire. It's almost as if the iPhone is playing without you. The steering has the precision of a snow globe, and the playing area that your ship can sail in is extremely limited. The old Apple ][ "Broadsides" game had more detailed gameplay and better controls than this does. Hold off, and hope for substantial changes. ### 1/5 — BORING! *2009-07-16, version 0* Ok, you can only sail in circles shooting a never ending stream of enemies so long before it gets real tiresome. ### 1/5 — How do you unlock ships *2009-06-20, version 0* How do you unlock ships??????!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Bad *2009-06-17, version 0* Very stupid don't waste time even finishing this review ### 1/5 — Negative five stars - Don't waste your time *2009-06-10, version 0* Lame - No wind indication, nor tide or current information. No sail adjustments. You can't adjust your speed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best game I have seen! *2010-10-28, version 0* This game is so wonderful for a free application!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — great demo for good game *2010-09-17, version 0* i found the App was a great demo. Although fun for a demo i was a little dissapointed with the whole game. it seemed as if there was no meaning.... the same levels just with bigger ships. it would be more interesting if you play a role as one ship, and you could choose sides. For example usa- uss constitution. and from there you could upgrade it all the way to the hms vitory. also instead of just the same battles there could be reanactments of batles. this would add to the effect of the game... so if theres ever a warship 2 i would consider this in the making of it. But overall a great demo for a good game- Get it! ### 5/5 — Read pls *2010-09-04, version 0* There should be in app purchases like fully upgraded ships for $.99 in the full version and I'm getting it because this game ROCKS!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Best war game ever for sailing ships *2010-07-12, version 0* Even the free version is amazingly authentic, simple to play, and has graphics perfectly tailored for the iPhone / Touch. They've even included realistic ocean and cannon sounds that do not require earbuds for good effect. The "tiller" mode is much better for me than using the accelerometer to turn the ships. As with everything, a Pogo stylus will make it much more fun. I end up using tactics much as were actually used in the days of sail, which says a great deal for its authenticity. Try the free one, but it'll get you hooked. No crashes or problems of any kind with iOS 4.0. ### 5/5 — Bang bang bOOm *2010-05-12, version 0* Helluava fun game. Reminds me of pirates of the carribean 4 gameboy Shop button makes game crash Pretty fun but 2 nd stage is hard without shop Minor bugs and annoying crap Lite version is about 3 1/2 and pretty addicting ### 5/5 — Awesome *2010-03-10, version 0* I love the game. But maybe some special abilities and online multiplayer would make it perfect. I will buy the full version, but please add new content! Maybe crew to add abilities, and a way to customize the look of your ship :) ### 5/5 — Cant stop playing *2010-03-04, version 0* Very good game works good and is very fun. You will like this one. ### 5/5 — Great *2009-09-29, version 0* I really like this game, but would like realism to be introduced with a wind direction. Right now you can sail whichever direction you choose, but back then it was impossible to sail directly into the wind. This would allow for more strategy: getting the weather gauge, &c. I'd also like better controls. It's difficult to use the wheel and the accelerometer. Maybe always having the screen follow the ship in the direction it's going instead of struggling to convert left and right when sailing down on the screen. Also a better way to fire. Maybe buttons at the bottom of the screen for firing port or starboard battery. Even the ability to not fire a broadside each time or the addition of bow and stern chasers. ### 5/5 — Great game *2009-09-27, version 0* Great graphics and ideas. 5 out of 5 ### 5/5 — A lot of fun!! *2009-07-18, version 0* This game is great. Although you should be able to actually see a health bar or something. And the canons; I have to look closely to see if they are ready to fire again. If those two problems were fixed then this game would be perfect. The new update screwed up the game, everytime I hit the shop button, the game crashes --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
