— a player, Steam review · 34 hrs played“If you are a fan of fighting with wooden sailing ships this is a serviceable game. I feel it is more like a final beta instead of a polished game.

— a player, Steam review · 141 hrs played“Unfinished game - it is not full game and never will be. Owner decide to stop game development year after release (last opdate was 2021) Game got potential it never got. So don´t use your money for this.”
