What players say
Players praise the stock market, political mechanics, and commodity smuggling, but many warn the game feels unfinished. Frequent complaints include tedious manual cargo handling, a broken supply and demand algorithm, very small maps, and a lack of production chains found in similar titles like Patrician or Port Royale. Some reviews say development stalled, calling it abandonware.
