Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I really wanted to like this game. Didn't mind the early grind and finally crafting some upgrades felt great to help with taking out the lower pirate camps. Then all of a sudden some lifepods crashed near my base. 6-8 level 80 pirates…”
“Way to grindy. 5 advanced construction kits for MkII turret, resources required for one is shocking Vs the damage the turrets do. Ships require way too much material and are weak, slow and poorly armed. Repair costs for items is too high…”
