  I'd recommend this as a visual novel more than an action game. You do spend 90% of the game swimming laps around other ships and 9% of the game running through empty jungle (if you get the Jade expansion), but the 1% of the time you spend reading the story is amazing. Someone with a really bright imagination and love of sailing lore invested a lot of their talent into the short paragraphs of adventuring text. The rest of the game carries off the feel of a sailing adventure rather well, but turns tedious quickly due to repetitiveness, buggy movement, and unrefined programming. But if you find sailing laps while poisoning crews to be relaxing, it's an easy game to set aside and come back to when you need a little piracy refresher course. Pros: - excellent world crafting - excellent writing - good ambience - fun music - proper pirate adventure feel - epic seamonsters - excellent art - runs on low-end computers Cons: - random deaths without proper warning - tedium during battle - rep-based quest grinding - pointlessly grindy achievements - deadly spawning oopses - terrible melee mechanics - quest progression requires waiting (a lot) - faceless factions (cool back story, but dunno who's who) - poor quest directions - quest marker overload Beginner Recommendations: - always sail with the Order flag - get your Poison Asp buff first - get your Pirate rep to 100 first - don't spawn in the middle of crab quests - don't spawn in the middle of fort quests

  This game has a bit of a problem I'd call 'flash game syndrome' which is where the mechanics or gameplay itself is so shallow or basic it kinda feels like it's not worth continuing to see what better stuff you might get. It compares to a crappy pay to win mobile game called assassins creed pirates, where the utterly obnoxious ability to pay to unlock things has been replaced with, well, nothing except the same boring hauling and fighting. It was amazing for the first hour, but as my path to progression became more clear, I could not even imagine dealing with yet more grind to even consider trying to even remotely upgrade or even replace my ship. It has a token trading system with randomized supply and demand, combat so lackluster that it literally has an auto-determine if you want to skip it, and unimaginable grind. I suppose I had no idea what I was getting into with this, despite resarching it before purchasing it, I sincerely didn't get what I was hoping for.

  version 1.0.92 nice pirate game 1st and 3rd person view Stories involved hunt for rumors and discover legends Hoarding gold and stuff difficulty settings shipupgrades (cannons, sails, crew, shipstructure) and fancy stuff for ship appearance Get nailed by your not-so-nice friends or betrayed Kraken involved! The game feels clumsy at the beginning, but the tutorial helps you out I play this with mouse and keyboard, all singleplayer Atm you can't have your own fleet, or your own fort. But fellow pirates ships do help you in fights if they are around and if you are a pirate (i guess it is the same for other factions) Boarding ships can go fast, for your or the other crew:-), but at least you are a part of the action! Decent graphics for such a little game And it really is an open world game Krakens are not the only monsters..... the action is sometimes really overwhelming-> too many 'reds' around you

  Best pirate game I've played in a LONG time! Visuals are decent, controls are easy to use and responcive (keyboard or gamepad), multiple quest task that follow one plot line in addition to Many random encounters you decide rather or not to engage in... and sea monsters.... Scary Sea Monsters.... Dune type critter, 30,000 leagues under the sea type critter... and those are only the first two I've met in 5 hours of game play O.O Defeat is not a perminant thing; it just sets you back a Lot of cargo and XP. I HIGHLY recomend! Total steal while on sale :) If you like Sid Myers Pirates then you'll truely love this master piece in the making! Loot well and live free mates!!

  I came in to this having read the reviews "It's not exactly like Sid Meier's Pirates!, and it's really hard" However they were on the whole mostly/overwhelmingly positive. I chose to reserve judgement (I'm usually more grumpy about games than others) And on the whole I'd like to say: They were right about the first part, and wrong about the second. It's not Pirates! You don't get dancing, or swordfighting (or more annoying points like ageing/loot division). What you do get is way more factions, and way more interwoven organic storyline. The first few quests are repetitive, but once you get in to it, it's really engaging. From the appearance of random ropes on your deck, to niggling weirdness, to inhaling incense and encountering a demon. It's Pirates of the Carribean on steroids. They pumped it full of beastly lore then added more magic in to the mix. And I'm happy to say that I really like it! It's more than worth the £11 asking price Now I'll explain the reasoning for why I said that they were wrong about the game being hard: I picked the easy difficulty going in - I was in for a white knuckle ride, and wanted to ease off a bit. What actually happened, was I took the starting ship (actually fairly good for what it is, a small fast vessel, with decent cargo space), and after "restarting" a few times, because you know - I really wanted to do it RIGHT. After all that, I pretty much figured out that death doesn't really cost all that much. I mean, you lose some money, and cargo, but you even keep the ship(s) and all mods. To make the start of this game piss easy, just build movement speed, and maneuverability, and you'll outclass most enemies you come accross, including much bigger ships. Later in to the game, I even managed to sink one of the hardest ships by adding long reach in to the mix, and kiting my ass off. The real thing is that it's a little unintuitive in the beginning what you CAN and CAN'T do. Towns are NOT forts. Small ships should NOT fight much bigger ships, or god forbid go NEAR a fort. A town will heal you for half a penny. A fort will blow you to smithereens if you warp in on the map right under its turrets (unless you happen to have the right flag, and then they're next to useless anyway). There still seem to be bugs - In ship descriptions, you'll find 2 references of repair speed (hull) next to each other (29/8/2016), but honestly, it seems pretty complete to me. The main storyline even does a great job of doubling up as a tutorial, while perfectly ramping up the difficulty curve, and not hand holding too much. The only thing I haven't managed to figure out sadly is the boarding. So far, rule of thumb is: Have your shooter crew maxed out. Have sails, and belowdecks levels maxed out. And you should be able to have 2 "fighters" (mid level crew). After that, destroy sails, and 95% enemy middle (crew) health with shrapnel (you can't kill them all). And then ONLY BOARD SHIPS WEAKER THAN YOU. If you board a ship with even 2 more shooters on deck than you have, you could still quite easily lose. This might not be by design. There are many shipboard roles for combat. And they all look equally interesting. BUT They only go up in experience (not down), and the guide to combat is in the mouse over descriptions of the crew you have. Having said that, there's a nice feature where if you do manage to board a ship, you can take it as part of a down-payment on that ship type (trophy ship = same as if you'd buy it in a city, and it becomes permanently accessible) I'm about 40 hours in maybe, and am still finding new stuff, and still enjoying it quite a bit. The game's pleasantly surprised me at almost every turn, and it's still keeping it fresh :) Hope you'll enjoy the game too!

  Tempest has been receiving a lot of bad reviews lately, their misinformative I've owned Tempest for quite awhile. It's not a perfect game but it isn't broken, extremely buggy or crashes regularly and the 3D setting does mess up your screen but its really easy to reset with a grain of patience. This isn't Sea of Thieves where everything is preset and boat go faster in wind, cannon go boom and Blunderbuss everything, it takes time to figure things out. Each ship has its own advantages and disadvantages, ship mods can boost and hinder, the biggest ship doesn't mean the best. There's a great many quests and challenges, and it is open world despite what some say you can sail on the water for the entire map, it does have sections that you need to load for but their far from small areas to play, it is slower than "fast traveling" using the map but much more enjoyable. I regret not playing it more before, lately its been my 3rd most oftenly played game. Give it a try, and if your cautious of spending money on it, try Pirate: Caribbean Hunt it's a Free game that is "similar" but lacks a large amount of features, like actually fighting the crew during a board, artifacts, and sea monsters to name a few. I play Pirate games a lot and this is easily one of my favorites.

  Alright, I'll cut to the chase and then dig in further. PROS: -Lots of ship customability -Unique Upgrades, ship types - Multiplayer(Somewhere?) -LOTS of encounters. -Graphics, while looking a little dated, still not terrible aesthetically. -Easy ship controls -Battles are overall pretty satisfying(Although different ship descruction animations would be amazing) -Leviathan CONS: -UI is a bit can be a little annoying. -Some tasks/missions are a little repetetive -The boarding battles and island explorations are a little clunky -Sometimes hard to figure out what to do next(Guides are helpful) -Can be difficult at start -Fast travel would be nice too -Leviathan I enjoy this game personally. It tickles a certain itch that a lot of other Pirate RPG games missed. It's fantasy-ish world mixed with cannon is really enjoyable. But, the game should have been polished a lot more. I'd love to see another game from these devs with these same features and more, just better execution is all.

  One of the biggest disappointments lately. I was so hyped for this game: newer and better Sea dogs. Yes, the graphics are beautiful, especially the animation of the water. But the game is simply boring. There no real goals to aim for. You can set up some small ones they do not get you to feel involved, you do not feel a part of this world. There are also no real characters to which you can feel some emotional connection. Open-world games with time get worse and worse. A few years back an open-world was something you wanted from the game because of the freedom of movements and making choices on what to do and when. Now open world means creating big worlds without a real purpose. Coming back to the game.The improvements for the ships and the possible development seems interesting but developing your character and ship for the sake of sheer development is for me not good enough. It gets boring quickly. An interesting addition is adding fantasy elements to the world but they are not that visible and they could have been omitted completely if the game received some greater narrative depth. Good I bought the game on a sale, because if I paid the full price I would be very angry right now.

  Smooth Gameplay. Fine Graphics. Legend Monsters look stunning when you encounter them. Newly added Tornados, are outstanding as they wreck havok on everything in its path/ Other than the sinking of enemy ships like all other similar sailing pirate games. The Boarding Strategy stood out, greatly improved gameplay experience, had fun trying to win battles by boarding rather than simply sinking the enemies. BUT, it gets repetitive and monotonous after awhile. Its a grind for missions and sinking/ boarding of enemy ships while you follow the main story. Seeking information from port to port, doing delivery work, same routine and style, There isn't much of a trading economy. Having only one save slot, some extreme bugs when triggered could do serious harm to your save files forcing you to restart or give up. Some quest and story mission are buggy to trigger and details aren't sufficient nor relevant. Had played the game four playthroughs, the last three have always been met by game ending circumstances of 'Unable to proceed further'. The last was at final story mission that goes blank with no further details to proceed. Feeling of reading a book with the last few pages torn off. Spend hours circling the map aimlessly looking for what was missing where it should appear. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=759040682 The above is an unfortunate bugged save. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=761763940 Replayed a continued old save which was previously bugged and completed the 21 Legends. Little to No satisfaction of completion, the ending is just a text of an encounter with a turtle, which is rather weak for a finale, as the Captain just stays on his ship outside the port waiting, perhaps theres more addons in future for a better sequal or ending. Last Sea Wolf Achievement isn't working as well. Could use more implementation of Ships, Expansion Maps, Improvement on the Multiplayer interface and more Resolve on buggy situations which i brought up in the support, perhaps the game is already considered Done and what was said are just redundant. Used to recommend the game, had to delete and rewrite the review. Now its your choice.

  Tutorial is frustrating because it disables OBVIOUS strategies in order to teach you how to play like a complete moron. After the tutorial you are set loose on a world full of... meh Boarding is so so terrible unable to do anything related to your ship on the main map screen, instead you must always zoom into 3d just to check how many cannon balls you have (why?) Cannot change up crew positions while in battle, instead you have to leave battle range just to tell people to get the fuck off the sails and get on deck to defend the ship(why?) Sometimes towns will attack you for no reason, not flying pirate flag, flying merchant flag, faction relations are nuetral or better yet constantly bombarded by towers without doing anything to warrant it (why?) This could be a great game, maybe in another year or 2 as it stands right now just skip it and play Sid Meirs Pirates, Tempest is on the verge of being about the same level but as it stands now Pirates is a galleon Tempest is a canoe
