Naval Action

Headline: A Slap in the Face for Veteran PlayersAs a veteran player who paid full price for this game years ago, I am deeply disappointed. The developers have completely ruined what used to be a great Age of Sail simulator.Here is why you should NOT buy this game:Anti-consumer choices: Paid full price, went Free-to-Play, went paid again, and now they wipe servers and ban alt accounts that they previously encouraged.Horrible economy: Ammo and gunpowder are overpriced. You lose more money winning a battle than losing it.Insane grinding: New and returning players are forced to act like cargo delivery boys for hours just to afford basic cannonballs.Arrogant developers: They actively ignore community feedback and ban anyone who criticizes them.Save your money and your time. The current state of the game is an absolute joke

This is my first time ever actually writing a review for a game. Let me start by saying this. Id been away from the game for nearly 2-3 years and finally felt like the time was right to come back, now I didn't necessarily have the most hours on the game but last I played I have reached the rank of Vice-Admiral, so all things considered I used to generally enjoy it. Now here is my current stance, I uninstalled the same day I redownloaded it, that would be today. The state of the game is absolutely terrible mainly caused by the insane grind requirement that has been created simply to partake in the games most basic function, NAVAL COMBAT. The game honestly is dead at this point and I would not recommend anyone to play it that includes both new players and returning veterans of the game until its issues are fixed. Its sad to see a game that once was the premier 17th-18th century naval combat game fall into absolute shambles and I know I hope for it to eventually change for the better however I don't foresee that happening.

It used to be somewhat decent, but they just kept making it worse. Save your time and money from this cash grab awful game.

This is the only even remotely realistic sailing simulation game available. The sailing mechanics are great, with ships handling according to the current wind conditions, and the combat system is enjoyable as well. Fleet battles can be a lot of fun when they are balanced. Unfortunately, that last point is also the game's biggest problem. Balanced battles are so rare that the feature is almost unplayable. There are no limits on who can join a battle, so around 95% of engagements are decided simply by player numbers rather than skill or tactics. The community is also quite toxic. A large number of players exploit anything they can find to gain an unfair advantage, and players with multiple alt accounts gain massive benefits. The developer does nothing to address these issues or many of the other long-standing problems. I hoped for a long time that things would improve, but at this point I don't believe that will happen. My advice is to wait for a better game instead, because this one is not worth the investment. To have a realistic chance of competing, you need to join the currently dominant nation, maintain at least four alt accounts, buy several DLCs, and invest an endless amount of time into the game — essentially treating it like a second job.

"Only the score matters, not the content of reviews." (paraphrased for politeness) -Admiralty Speaker, one of the lead devs

les dev ont tué le jeux, mise à jour inutile, suppression de contenu objectif inconnu des devs. Le jeux est de plus en plus vide et nul + tout les wipes abusif pour des choses banales. Ils avaient une pépite sous la main en 5 ans ils ont fusillé la pépite.

I've never played a game which so desperately lacks a clear objective; it is incredibly difficult to understand how to play. I was hoping something akin to War Thunder would be present: simple battles against others with the goal of saving up for better ships. Instead this game is open world, dependent on the number of players and there constantly looms the possibility of losing all your progress. I lost my first ship in my first battle and couldn't even buy another one, having to delete my entire save. Absolute rubbish.
