Storm Seas

I've enjoyed my time so far, though I agree the game is a bit slight at the moment particularly at the beginning. It's a simpler more arcadey sailing game. I gather the focus of the game is more macroeconomic, with more focus on management than in managing the minutia of piloting a ship, and I'm interested to see what that's like as I progress more. If you're looking for a sailing simulation, this is not that. I want to especially bring up the different islands' visual design as being excellent -- they each look interesting and unique, and convey very clearly what the island produces relative to the others. Piloting your ship is very simple, with all controls accessible while standing in one spot. You can deploy the sails instantaneously with a single button press (either half furled or full), and changes in speed are immediate. The turning radius is very tight, which gives the feeling of driving a go kart more than a large ship. As I said, the overall feeling is very arcadey, so this is probably a deliberate choice in terms of the game's focus. I'd love to see things like wind direction, sail plan, cargo stowing, etc matter more (they currently are not factors at all) I haven't found the docking or naval combat difficult as some other reviewers mentioned, but I haven't found them particularly enjoyable either. Managing to get on and off the ship smoothly to load cargo is the biggest chore I've encountered so far. I'm very excited to see where the game goes from here!

As a former merchant mariner, I was really looking forward to Storm Seas. I enjoy realistic pirate/sailing games, and I get that this is early access from a solo dev. I'm reviewing it with that in mind. The concept is strong, but right now, several mechanics make it more frustrating than fun. Docking damage is far too severe. In real life, gentle contact happens. Here, a few bumps can sink you. Enemy damage also feels overtuned for new players. Helm controls need work. Actions like raising or lowering sails, changing speed, dropping anchor, force you to let go of the wheel. These should be doable while remaining at the helm. Combat is exhausting rather than tactical. By the time you run from wheel to cannons, the enemy has already moved. A crew member or NPC gunner for port and starboard would help a lot. Survival meters also drop too fast. Arriving at night with no place to rest and no bed on your own ship isn't great. I really want this game to succeed. My feedback is meant to be constructive. With balancing and a few quality of life changes, it could be fantastic. But for now i cannot recommend the game, i really hope to do so in the near future. I wish you all the best in improving the game.

Les bases sont posées , j'ai passé un très bon moment et je compte bien continuer à passer du bon temps sur ce Storm Seas ! C'est encore un peu "vert" , normal c'est une early access, il y a de l'inspiration à la Sea of Thieves mais le jeu ne se joue pas en coop pour l'instant et il le mériterait je pense. Il y a quelques bugs qui ne m'ont pas empêché de jouer et je demande solennellement au/x dev/s de bosser/travailler dur pour que ce jeu devienne un incontournable. J'ai goûté au combat naval qui est fort intéressant, le tir au canon est plaisant et la récompense est vraiment intéressante car on la stocke sur le bateau physiquement et on doit la ramener au port pour la vendre et si on coule avant, on perd tout . On peut faire de l'achat revente, acheter un commerce etc... Comme je vous l'ai dit au début, il y a les bases d'un bon jeu. Je me répète pour que ce soit clair pour les Dev/s : travaillez fort sans trop tergiverser et sortez-nous une petite perle, je ne parle pas de celle qu'on laisse au fond des latrines. Merci.

Let me start off by saying I like the game. Some things dont work in the game like the wild lands the tavern keeper you cant interact with even though you are suppose to deliver to him. The developer released this and then seems kind of MIA, no interaction with questions in the forum except for on the first day of release. I understand they have a life outside of this, but I guess I would expect during the first week or two they would try to talk to people and a couple of updates to fix things. Im going negative on my review just because I feel this may have been a grab and go by the dev. I hope I'm wrong and will change this if this isnt the case. I have had to restart a few times because once i get the stuff to take to the wild lands it kind of gets me stuck since i cant deliver this stuff.

Slow, Boring. Just play merchants in SOT safer seas, you'll have more fun honestly

So far it's a great base to potentially great game. Dev's are making strides in solving base level gameplay mechanics to make this enjoyable to play. The market mechanics are pretty solid too. Once they add more islands with more products to purchase it will evolve nicely. Areas that need improvement: - Reporting bugs: A lot of early access games don't have bug report systems. Please add this or make an email available in the initial pop up when you start the game asking for reporting. - Building is still clunky and the production stuff is still needing work but the premise is really cool. - More info/control over the port/boat operators would be nice. Do they over pay for products low on qty? Do they sell when the prices are upside down? Will be a fun game to play from time to time once it's a bit more developed but I actually have hope unlike other Early Access games.

il y a beaucoup a faire du genre quand on saute dans l'eau ou n' est pas jesus. le principe est debile comme idee. je vais le racheter lorsque le jeu aura plus de contenue.

Good.
