The core of the combat is a great one. It could be the best even. But having been along for the ride since before Steam, I can honestly tell you nothing of import is happening in the development of this game. Tweaking and polishing. Adding then removing mechanics. It's alpha alright.

Oh and the grind is horrendous. A few mistakes and you could lose your ship with crew, cannons and cargo in an instant. A ship you worked for maybe several months to achieve. Poof!!! Gone.. start over. This is not fun, and it's supposed to be. It's a game!

A clear roadmap and end goal would be nice. Instead we have all this ridiculous tuning of everything and game is in fact not progressing in any meaningful way. Toxic developers who actually wrote on their forums, that the game isn't supposed to be fun! Go figure...

It's sad, because the base idea and combat system is fun and right on the money. Over 100k sales and less concurrent players nowadays, than the number of sailors on a frigate!

I'll check again in 6 months to see if the developers has found their head up their asses.!

Until relevant and clear direction is taken, I cannot in good faith recommend this game in it's current state.
