60 of 152 · most liked firstThis game is very good, but the developers are not monitoring it. They have ruined the game this way—cheats have become widespread, and it's impossible to play properly. The gameplay could be great, but as I said, since there's no supervision, no one wants to play anymore and is quitting the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this might be one of the WORST games ive ever played. Me and my friends got on for what we hoped was a sea of thieves like battle royal. absolutely NOT. barely ANY weapons, and horrible matchmaking is what pisses me off the most. there might be 4 different primaries and i never encountered a secondary. the matchmaking puts you with LEVEL 1000+ players who have NEVER showered. we never got any kills, we died in the first 10 minutes of the 2 rounds we played, and decided we had enough. I dont…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is dead. Cannot get into a game because there aren’t enough players. Waste of time
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dead game with broken achievements. Looks really fun but everyone gives up in the first 5 minutes. (takes forever to find a few people) If this had some more love it could be workable but it seems like devs don't care so you shouldn't either.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think the game should be free because there are not many people online right now, and my friends don't have money.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's completely dead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I idled the "logging in" screen for 4 minutes longer than I should have just to tell you this complete waste of every valuable thing you've ever known in your life instantly opens your browser and demands you make an epic account and if you think you can just close that window or tab and go back to the game and maybe the worst of it is you lose out on some potential crossplay or cross save / progression stuff, no, the game just sits there spinning waiting on some trigger from your epic account.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is fun but terrible server hosting and matchups.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is horrible, got on with my two other friends and tried to do trios (no trios) so we had to do squads with randoms that didn't communicate at all, and thats the least of it, we then got in our first match with a squad of level 600's, we got spawn killed by them for the rest of the game because the game has no skill based matchmaking at all, we gave it one more try and the same thing happened, not to mention it directly copied sea of thieves in so many ways
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you don't have at least 2 other people to play with, you won't have fun. You go in solo... well there you go, you get lvl 0 teammate to face the fully equipped Turks, all above lvl 90. The game doesn't have an in game VOIP either or at least voice chat with the team, devs dropped this game a long time ago. Don't bother buying, just get SoT on sale.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Picked this game up for cheap in a bundle on Fanatical but unfortunately the game is dead in the water. Pun intended. No one playing it so can't do anything beyond the tutorial.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game *looked* so fun. There's no game modes to play without online and there's no one online. I did play the tutorial. It bugged out on me and told me directions out of order. I was running around my ship trying to figure out how to raise my anchor after it told me to drop anchor, then navigate to a specific point. To upgrade my cannons I need to select an item in my inventory *while standing near the cannon.* Not "interact with the cannon?" Everything felt so janky and half-finished.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →amazing game with a lack of a marketing campaign so ppl just have no clue about its existence. Be ready for a higher ping on America, Asia and OCE but it still pretty smooth for a higher latency players. Worth its price if you interested in such games
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →From what i remembered this game is pretty good knock off SOT but it has low players 7/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great trailer, but the game is much more fun than the trailer makes it look. It's battle royale on a pirate ship with 4-5 teams of 4. You can occasionally run into people while looting an island, but most of the combat occurs at sea. Along with the obvious weapons and ammo, you'll find ship upgrades while looting islands. There are spots on every island that allow you to teleport to your ship. If you die, you'll re-spawn with your previous weapons as long as your ship is floating, but you'll…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great idea, fun with friends. Clearly no one is supporting this game anymore, but it's well done and good for a good time. Admittedly, we never won a game (there is no skill-based matchmaking... hide your kids, hide your wife), but we had fun trying.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →may look goofy but packs a really badass experience especially if you make it to late game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →for 5€ its fine however seems to have been abandoned by devs why even do a sale? its fun but no attempts to get more player on the game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very toxic fan base, no cheater protection at all. got two cheaters in one match somehow. abandoned game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It’s a game worth the discounted price. I have a lot of fun playing it with my friends. The player count is low, but it’s a good game. - Good alternative pirate game - Fun to play - Works fine with low specs pc
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best multiplayer pirate game to exist. Much better than Sea of Thieves in my opinion. I cannot recommend this enough to anyone looking for a sailing battle royale game. The comment in the trailer about getting wrecked by some Turkish kid happens more often than I would like to admit.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Save your money, game is full of cheaters and there is not even a report function, obviously devs don't care they just want your money. Not worth even on sale, stay away.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"We're so much better than Sea of Thieves guys please we're so quirky"
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →sea of thieves from wish Cant get the ship to move gets spawn camped on island
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Incredible battle royale Sea of Thieves rip-off. Seriously, it's very good, even if it lacks a bit in clarity, content, polish, variety and functionnalies. I never expected to like it that much, I just hope they keep enriching it with more content. It's light on storage space, and looks and runs great too !
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it WAS fun... when it had players
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →We need more players to keep the game alive
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a great game when there are no cheaters. But recently there has been an influx of cheaters (more so than usual). Some of which are toggled on to the max and very obvious but others are much more clever. They turn things down so its not so obvious. You can try reporting them, but it appears the devs don't care that cheaters are running rampant now. If there were no dirty pathetic little cheaters this game would be epic. It has a great pace and who doesn't want to be a swashbuckling,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Guys, remember Blazing Sails? Ye the "SoT Killer". No Players. Cheaters Only. No Updates. Game can't be opened. And they had the gull to release videos mocking other pirate games because they were "so much better than SoT guys pls we're so quirky". Karma always gets you.
unlabelledView post →Was a cool substitute after Sea of Thieves shut down arena, but just never found a consistent player base. Seems like they stopped updating it in October 2024, so I don't expect that to ever change.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I haven't played since the October 2024 but I didn't notice any significant changes in the recent updates. Laggy sometimes, graphics are not good enough to say that it's a reason why the game's frames can be so low. Maybe, just maybe, it was my PC back then but can't say for sure. The servers were not the best since I couldn't join my friends' lobbies from time to time. Since it's a PvP, you might get annoyed by players. That's it, I wouldn't run it any more. If I didn't play 10 hours, I would…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →3 players in-game as i write this
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game with very unique, but fun, battle royale gameplay. I don't even like battle royales generally, but this game is pretty good. There's just no other game like it, where you can manage sails, load cannons, fix a ship, etc., all in a fun, short-ish (a match might take ~20 minutes), arcade-like, team-based, battle royale setting.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Far too clunky. Fleshed out well, but unenjoyably clunky. Edit: (Also the Achievements don't track.)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is such a fun game. it is truly damn shame that it didn't receive the support the team deserves. Everytime I hear gamers cry about how the gaming industry is dead, but when indie devs develop a game like this, no one says anything. Such a shame, This game is so sooo fun, and definitely Sea of Thieves stole their idea.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kinda funny how Blazing Sails devs made fun of SoT, but now there's barely 100 people playing their game at any given time. Karma knows how to get back to you.
unlabelledView post →Best pirate game ever.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The activity is quite good. You don't need friends or voice chat. A lot of people join solo (or fewer than 4), so you will find a team. You can coordinate well with random teammates other than newbies, language isn't important (using quick messages), and they generally know what they're doing. If you got a too weak team, try to join other teams, or leave and find a new match. I can always find a match, usually takes 1-5 minutes. Rooms usually fill up, and there are usually multiple rooms active…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →played for a couple hrs, finally found another crew on my first run on this dead game, called them the N-word over prox chat, got banned. so I refunded it. Stay dead and disappear, knock version of SOT.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →omg how can they make a game worse than sea of thieves... its basically a cheap version of sea of thieves... first match i played there was an ldlot who was insanely racist in chat, not to mention a battle royal version of sea of thieves is just completely dumb... the worst part of this game is the mics dont work they are completely disabled... i got this for $6 and want my money back !!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game to play with friends
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the game is pretty good but could really use some more content, i'd recommend getting it on discount nonetheless
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →like sot but for low end pcs and much cheaper but still sot is good
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is dead?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →sea of thieves for very very VERY POOR PEOPLE. not worth the try.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a lot of fun with friends, the only issue is that the amount of players is low and it takes you a while to find a game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →dead game! don't purchase this game, even if it's for free!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →dont waste your money on this. this game is so dead that you can smell its rotting corpse when you look at its store page.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game also didn't want to boot the first few times. Game requires payment to unlock most customization, achievements do not work, it's very buggy and has this weird grain over everything that hurts my eyes (it doesn't look anywhere near as smooth and pretty as the screencaps), it "resets" my things constantly so customization just doesn't work anyway, for some reason I'm just never allowed to use my own ship..... This game is *interesting*, but after trying it for a little bit, I'm not…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →low budget sea of thieves,but its good ;]
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I LOVE THE GAME BUT IN THE LAST YEAR YOU CANT ENTER THE GAMES
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A lot of fun. I hope they come out with more stuff for it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →so friggin tuff
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →better than bg3 and mh wilds combined
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really like this game, it's like fortnite but pirates which instantly makes it a better game. We need more people on this game because i like being a pirate fortnite gamer
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well made game kills time fast and is super fun!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its a very fun game with a lot of potential,quite good optimizated but now its a dead game...there are no active oficilal servers or private server. At the moment its fun if u have 3+ friends to play. The game needs a new life and some oficial servers to play on. I will come back with my friends in a few months to see if something changes. i really like the game and i hope it will be taken back to life!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Looks good, but can't see character body, only floating shadow
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kinda like sea of thieves but more focused on pvp
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun pirate fights and teamwork feel great but matches was hard
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →
