Fun historical characters/captains that you get to team with

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics are nice and classic, but just like Caribbean Hunt this game is super grindy if you don't want to immediately die in the campaign, and the actual story seems like it is written by a 14-year-old who is failing language arts.

with microtransactions... and one more thing, you want to make your ship to look badass with like ... red sails?

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
Needs multiplayer (co-op especially would be good) but for a Free To Play Game - what do you want?

Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
while the graphics still need some fine tuning the game itself is fun and I dont find myself board because there is always something to do/that needs to be done please keep doing what you are doing and improving the game if you stick to it then advertise heavily after she's all polished up I think it stands a decent chance of being popular. just add in some effects for when you board ships like gunshots when you choose to fire the pistols and some small smoke spots from crew memebers that would have fired off said pistols also while I understand this all takes time you REALLY need to improve ship to ship combat no way 4 crew would kill 23 of mine.
