60 of 191 · most liked firstThe best advice I ever got from reading the reviews for this game was: If you're interested in it, get it. I admit I had my reservations about this one, but it's much, much more fun than I expected. As others have said, imagine Mount & Blade: Warhammer - The Seas of the Old World and you know what you're in for. Yes, it's a little clunky here and there. Yes, the visuals aren't amazing. No, the melee combat isn't refined, and it's more simple than in Mount & Blade. BUT none of this gets in the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The devs have 2 unfinshed products under their belt and now they announced a third game to be made the devs are clearly scammers! STAY CLEAR OF THIS COMPANY You will find more content in a cellphone game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You probably shouldn't buy this game, it's pretty awful by all standards. However, some parts of the game are so atrocious it becomes kind of unintentionally funny, like an Ed Wood film. It's amazingly clunky considering this game came out in 2017. It looks and plays like an unfinished mod for the original Mount & Blade, except the melee combat is nothing like M&B and frustratingly bad, it's annoying to attempt parrying when there's a serious lack of animations for the clunky character models.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really clunky and unfinished. The potato early 2000s graphics make Mount & Blade look like a AAA title. The controls are janky. I love the IDEA of this game. Open world, fantasy ship combat, pirates, sea monsters and orcs etc... It's just the execution feels like this is still an early beta test at best. X = Stay away. Vastly overpriced for a poorly executed, unfinished game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love the Warhammer setting and ships, nothing else to love here. Controls are wonky. It's easy enough to target other ships but melee combat is like something from 1998. Info on your crew is limited too. framerates aren't the best. It feels unfinished or 15+ years old. Not what I expected. It says action but it's really hack-n-slash which isn't a good thing when your melee is garbage. Hack-n-slash because nothing works out without a fight. I just sank 3 enemies and need to head like 1/2 mile to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Darn, such a cool concept and was on my wishlist for AGES. In theory, ticks all the boxes (trade, navy, WH). However the lack of polish is huge. - Most of the game is silent, no music unless you run into a battle. Makes for tonnes of awkward voice lines from the NPCs randomly shouting "Need more cordage!" out of nowhere. - No borderless window (Released in 2017 but feels like 2007). - There's parry for sword to sword fighting, but the window to parry is instant (there's no lead time, it feels…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is one colossal letdown. The ship combat is decent and fun, but absolutly everything else is terrible. The world is completely featureless, with absolutely nothing to discover and every City is the same. Mostly because the game map is only about 1/10th of the actual Warhammer World, and the most boring 1/10th at that. Either do a small, but focussed part of the World, with a handful of detailed settlements, or do something large with stuff to discover. This game does literally…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game hasn't really been updated to any noticeable extent in years. I bought it thinking they intended to have more than just human and chaos campaigns. The combat is clunky as others have said, but I was willing to let that go. The real issue is there's just not that much there. The campaign isn't really any more complicated than Sid Meier's Pirates, just with a warhammer veneer.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Truth be told, I didn't like my original review. It was fine, but I was like, "Eh, that's too first-drafty, it's lacking something." So here we are. Yeah, this game was retired in 2021, but it's back, doing that zombie thing where it sits up when you thought it was dead, then shambling to its feet and coming after your brains. And... I'm okay with that, I'd let this game nosh on my skull. And that's why I felt a need to tell you about it, since I have over 200 hours in it, despite having…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →dev lied and stole money
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I never thought I’d be sitting here writing a review for this game after it’s been gone from Steam for about five years. But with its unexpected return, I just have to say: if you enjoy ship combat like in Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag or Sid Meier’s Pirates!, you’ll probably love this game. That said, I wouldn’t recommend boarding enemy ships too often—the hand-to-hand combat is quite clunky and feels underdeveloped. Still, the game offers everything you could want from a pirate…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →make warhammer fantasy naval great again please please someone..... dead on updates, status and title rights being held to spite the fans im thinking at this point.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The developers are only a small team, but one can see that they are fans of Warhammer and really wanted to make a game set around the Man O' War: Corsair setting, even as their resources were limited. If you can look past clunky animations and graphics that are very mixed (with some things looking decent enough and others not), then you have a very decent game here for fans of Warhammer and those who played the original Man O' War: Corsair. Get yourself a ship, gather your crew and set sail!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are looking for a source of torture, look no further than a full achievement run of this game! When I first purchased this game, I was a huge fan of warhammer, and despite warnings not to engage with this game from another friend, I pressed forward. As a joke, I swore that I would complete the game. While I have merely 75 hours in this game, it feels like I have played 1,000. While this review means nothing due to the fact none can purchase it anymore, if you are scrolling through your…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Such a great idea. To bad it was never finished.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sureddo Review : Man O' War Corsair - Warhammer Naval Battles OVERALL - 85/100 +Highly underrated gameplay and mechanics that are extremely fun and easy to grasp. Plays very well with controls and is very easy to get into. +The life of a ship captain in the Warhammer Fantasy universe is treated very well here. There is a refresjomg breadth of content and mechanic systems to enjoy. -Graphics leave much to be desired for a game made in 2017. A clear lack of focus and passion is evident in the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I received this game for free in a promotion for public sector workers in the UK. Evidently, we have nothing better to do than play games. I scratch my head as I fathom why this game drew me in for close to 100 hours. there are a myriad of issues inherent within the game that I will now show by opening up the ♥♥♥♥ sandwich without even a bite. Firstly, the game is light on story and does little to draw you in with the dynamic world. The only method of completion consists of a text when you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got this on sale for under £5. Tried the sandbox which allows you to fight pretty much anything. The Campaign was zero fun. Fought a fair sized Naval battle then sailed to Port, which actually requires you to navigate. Then you've to walk too every place you need to visit and open doors...then sail to another Port. You have to steer, and tack against the wind, then a Shark attacked which ideally you need to shoot in the eyes from a moving ship, against a swimming target with a musket that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Recommended for fans of the old Man o War, Dreadfleet and WHFRP. Warhammer Pirate Mount & Blade Warband: The graphics are doofy and UI is antiquated -BUT- I can see the love the devs had for the Warhammer Old World and the game is quite charming and fun once you get past the first hump. 7/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Loved table top and had high hopes for this but after trying once even with more content with the game unfinished buggy mess. Like the new races but no tackling of the game rigging bugs that people have flagged since early access very sad wasted opportunity to revive this awesome game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really like the game and I hope the devs can see this review. Its sad it was taken off steam by GW. EDIT: IT'S BACK.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Many others have written the following, but it's worth repeating: this is Mount & Blade set upon the darkened tides and bloodied shores of Warhammer's Old World. Great writing, fun quests, immersive atmosphere. Set sail with crew and cannon and fight for gold and glory against Kislevite merchants, raiding orcs, pestilent plague galleys of Nurgle, and more. Heaps of fun as it is, with so very much potential. If you're a fan of games workshop's world that was, you definitely owe it to yourself to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yar Matey this company plundered my booty!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Everything feels clunky and unfinished, especially the personal combat, and the game seems to be abandoned. Shame they didn't use the license for a Battlefleet Gothic Armada style game instead of something that still feels like a beta long after Early Access finished.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Your as beautiful as the day i lost you
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing concept with incredible potential. Terrible execution with non-existent support from the developers.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →AI is broken and the devs dont want to do anything to fix it
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is a bit old now, and its development was cut, but what this game does offer is a unique style of gameplay in a unique setting. It is a open world game, so do not go into it expecting it to be like Black Flag or anything, but it is fun for what it is.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is beyond broken. Despite 2+ years of updates there are so many basic pieces of functionality here that just don't work that it is impossible for me to recommend, despite enjoying the gameplay itself. Man O' War is a naval combat game set in the Warhammer universe. You can play as either a human or chaos captain and align yourself with a number of different factions within each, fighting their enemies as well as unplayable but present races like the Undead, the High Elves, the Ratmen,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Every once in a while (like as I write this during the 2020 summer sale), I pull this game back out and sail the seas a while. With few devs and limited budget, the game tries hard to deliver a 3D "Pirates" type trading/combat genre game set in the Old World. It kind of delivers, too! -- enough that I come back about once a year to sail the seas again. Recommended with caveats: the game is somewhat unfinished, being admirably and fatally ambitious. Consider on sale if you like the idea of the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Warhammer universe is one I've had an obsession with for nearly 15 years at this point. I was initially quite excited to pick this game up, but unfortunately there is neither enough of a story, or compelling enough combats and development to make this particularly interesting for long. The combat is awkward, ill paced, and incredibly one sided in most instances. You either dominate through superior numbers or your opponent does. Don't get me wrong, fighting is a skill endeavor, but most…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →have you ever been in a cannon battle with a megalodon? or giant sea dragon with a wizard tower on its back? you would have if you played this game. Its a fun little game at a great price. will eat up hours of the night. needs more added. but its worth it as is.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty decent privateering / pirating game. Dev's currently have another Beta update in the works, not sure why some are saying abandoned.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A meh game that is supposedly holding back the possibility of greater games.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing game, but the devs abandoned it. So much potential but unfortunatly i feel it will never be a finished game. I give a thumbs up for the game, but i have to thumbs down this review because after many attempts at asking the devs to continue and many empty promises, the game is still in the same state it was almost a year ago :( Edit: recently they did update the game, if this continues I will change the review to a thumbs up.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Man O' War: Corsair is one of those that's that the right audience can have fun with, but it's really not good. After my initial plays of the game, it was unpolished and only borderline functional so I'd put it on hold for a few years. Now? It function's but thats about it. Man O' War is an open world sailing game set in the world of Warhammer. You sail around trading, pirating and doing quests as you train your crew. If you're a person that likes these sort of games, everything you need…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros: - Warhammer Fantasy. - Pirates. - Based on one of GWs discontinued speciality ranges. - Good concept. Cons: - Mediocre performance even on minimum graphic settings. - Game temporarily freezes every time map screen is opened. - Gameplay gets a bit repetitive. - Game feels half finished and abandoned by devs in favour of other products. - Only two factions have campaigns. - Buggy. EX: quests can randomly disappear before they can be handed in. When attempting to board enemy ships…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I LOVE this game, but is it finished? There are so many things missing, especially for a WARHAMMER brand game. Usually they do not sign their name to stuff unless it is pretty darned good, I should know, i only have EVERY WARHAMMER game EVER released on ANY platform... But like when you sailing past the shore, you don't see the villages and people going about their lives. Its just scenery too, you don't even interact with it other than looking at it, but it makes a WORLD of difference. Sorry. I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Man O War Corsair really depends on your imagination and how much you can look past to see what enjoyment you truly can get out of a game. The setting is extremely interesting, Naval combat in the Warhammer universe in a decently sized open world map where you can sail anywhere and come across many different situations like enemy chaos fleets, orcs pirates, legendary creatures like the megalodon shark or come across a port being attacked by nurgle and helping defend it or as a chaos lord…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was hesitant to buy for a long time, but dont be fooled by mixed reviews or let's plays. This game has actual ship combat depth which is not visible at the start. Once you get deeper into the game, more than a few hours, it opens up magically. This game is actual pretty cool. Not enough polish, could have other races' campaigns, it has good atmosphere and decent gameplay. Wish more people would actually give it a chance. Recommended.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Warhammer Fantasy setting meets Sid Meier's Pirates gameplay. Sort of. Well, I wish, anyway. This thing's clunky and not much fun. Melee and firearm combat is bad. It's really clunky when it should be fluid. There's no weight to melee combat. Ship combat mostly works but it's not very good. The UI is passable, but not great. Store interface isn't very good either. Towns are small, repetitive, and could have been handled with just a menu interface. This feels like it's in alpha and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A game I have had zero positive interactions with. From when I bought it when it first came out, I'd download it and try to play it once or twice every year, each passing year the limitations of this game become more and more apparent. Every single time I never get but a few minutes in before it crashes and when it isn't crashing it is unplayable. Not due to PC specs. My rig runs 2021 graphics heavy games on ultra with no issues. Don't waste your money, even if it is cheap on sail. Don't waste…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I kept my eye on this game for years, watching and waiting to see if it ever fulfilled its potential. After all, a naval Warhammer video game could be beautiful. There's so much you could do with the setting. You could tell several wonderful stories with overarching plots and characters, all while trading, fighting orc pirates and chaos cannibals, and listening to your crew sing sea shanties unique to their world, location, and race. Instead, the game breaks the cardinal rule of gaming: It is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its so bad its not even funny. if you remove all the bugs and there is ALOT you still have bad graphics, bad combat, no story and just its boring all around. Its not even worth the 3 dollers
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got it on sale for about $2 and still feel like they ripped me off. The only good thing I can say about this game is that if it could get Warhammer license then so can anyone else.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a mixture of Sid Meier`s Pirates and Assassins Creed Black Flag, but barely finished as a game. The ship combat is pretty good, but the way the ports work is very tedious, having to walk around slowly to each shop, and the boarding actions have a similar problem. I got this for a big sale and i probably got my moneys worth, but this game needs a ton of work to become playable
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish I could recommend this game, as it had the potential to be great. Warhammer navel battles? yes please. Sea faring Mount and Blade style game? yes please. Sadly, this game simply fails to deliver in too many ways. *Frequent and often game breaking bugs *Clunky and exceptionally simplistic melee combat *Rudimentary and repetitive naval combat *Not even a hint of a story to be followed If you snag this on the upcoming cybermonday sales, or any other time steam reduces the price to dirt…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has way to many bugs in it. The board game is nothing like this. The object of the board game is to control fleets not one poorly made ship.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is a solid C for the Warhammer franchise, it would be a B+ anywhere else. I expect more from Games Workshop... as do most fans of their IP. The variety of ships and crew is fantastic, each race has it's own unique feel. However, the trade economy is half assed, everything is within 5-10% of eachother... so why keep cargo in your hold to make an extra 10 gold on one item when your hold will be full of 2-300 gold booty from your next raid anyway. just always dump everything.…

Step two: buy items from port A and sell at port B 'Yup yup absolutely buddy i will do that for yah' *wild megalodon appers defeat the megalodon* in the words of the virgin mary, 'come again?' If you like warhammer, sid meiers pirates, mount n blade clunkiness and the good bit from assasins creed black flag (the naval battles not the annoying bit where you have to go stab bad people on an island somewhere) then look no further as…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has more than it's fair share of quirks and bugs, but I really find it fun. I've just been doing missions as an independent. I have not allied with a nation yet. It seems like the start of an RPG with lots of side-quests and randomly generated quests. Perhaps that happens if I join a nation. I'm just not ready to yet. It's a shame it's been discontinued. The developers should consider creating a sea fairing RPG with their own IP.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okayish at first, but then you realize how slow it is. Also, pretty much nothing is explained. It's way too slow and boring. Maybe if they had finished the game I would have given it a positive review.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →slow paced, terrible combat, lackluster visuals.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This would have to be the most under-rated game on Steam of all time. It's basically Sid Myer's Pirates but with better graphics, high fantasy, sea monsters, more in-depth combat. The list goes on and on. Well worth a play and you can pick it up for $10-15 when on special.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't buy this unfinished game at full price.............. if you REALLY want it, wait till its like 2 or 5 bucks or something....... because the developers straight up abandoned this game unfairly (Edit as of 2022: You cant buy this on steam anymore, guess I was right in the comments, matter a fact im convinced that was a shovelware game)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hey just a quick review Cons - 1.Graphics are awful for a game that came out in 2017 1.5/5 - 2.Anything to do with melee 0.5/5 3.Only factions are playable are humans Brets/emps/indie & chaos 4.Lack of playable factions 5.Bugs 6.clipping 7.No real plot 8.You can only play as the "locked" races in custom battles(other than for fun & seeing which…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Last Update was over a year ago. Devs have abandoned the game and left it where in what would best be called "Early Beta." Story is non existent and the variety is minimal at best. When I got this game I expected the world and the available content to open up eventually. Nope, still a human stuck running trade between Kislev and Brettonia.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →*Man O’ War: Corsair – Warhammer Naval Battles (Classic)*, developed by Evil Twin Artworks and published by SNEG, is an ambitious open-world naval RPG that explores a rarely seen side of the Warhammer Fantasy universe. Instead of focusing on land-based warfare, it shifts the perspective to the seas, placing players in the role of a ship captain navigating a sprawling world filled with trade, conflict, and shifting allegiances. It’s a game built on strong ideas and a unique setting, though its…
