Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly recommend this age-of-sail MMO for its deep naval combat and trading, but many say it is grindy and pay-to-win, and complain about moderation.

Many players enjoy the naval combat, which rewards tactics such as mortar fire, sail-shredding shots and boarding, and they like the trading and economy, with ships, cannons and ammunition crafted from resources. Some value that PvP is optional and that solo or PvE play remains workable. Others describe the game as slow and grindy, with hard-to-learn early mechanics and a tutorial that leaves beginners to look things up. Some players say premium ships give a clear advantage in endgame PvP, and that prices are high. A recurring complaint concerns the moderation team, which players describe as inconsistent, with chat bans and favouritism toward certain factions. Recent reviews are more critical, citing little new content, economy nerfs and updates that changed faction ships. Early reviews are more positive.

Who it suits

Suits players who enjoy sailing, naval battles and trading, and who are ready for a long, grindy MMO, ideally with friends or a guild.

Who should skip it

Players who dislike grinding, pay-to-win shops or PvP-heavy design, or who expect a polished tutorial and steady new content, should skip it.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with over 200 hours are more divided, with many criticising the endgame pay-to-win, faction favouritism and recent economy nerfs, while players with fewer hours praise the combat and the early game.
