What players say

73% of 10,046 reviews are positive · 54% of 48 in the last 30 days

Players praise the tactical ship combat, particularly maneuvering for broadsides and torpedo strikes, along with the multi-system campaigns. The dominant recent complaint is that the game may fail to launch or crash on Windows 11 and newer hardware, sometimes requiring unofficial Easy Anti-Cheat or OpenSSL workarounds.
