What players say

Players describe it as a pirate-themed Vampire Survivors that is still far from finished. Nearly all reviewers agree it has only one stage and severe balance issues, with relentless enemy swarms and progression that feels punishing. Some are willing to wait for updates, but most say it needs much more work before it is ready.
