What players say
Players see a promising pirate simulation in early access with multiple modes from strategy to ship combat, but many find it unfinished with technical issues like stutters and a lifeless feel. Comparison to Mount & Blade Warband and Sid Meier's Pirates is common, along with desires for larger fleets and more polish.
