Abandon Ship for Negative User Reviews

✓ Very very far belowLooks good when it was coming soon. Once the game came out is was very very far below what I thought it was gonna be. Don’t recommend and you need to pay 20$ to unlock free roam.Logan5061Version: 1.0.5

✓ Beautiful but heavily flawed creationA game with plenty of micromanaging for the more initiated players, or headaches for the casual ones. Cliche story elements and blatant Lovecraftian references take you out of immersion, but the oceanic sound designs and art keep you invested. Horrible, horrible tutorials and overzealous controls with a learning curve so steep it would kill you before you complete them all. A game system’s basics are overwhelming if you could die to sheer confusion in tutorial mode set to the easiest mode, and this is one of them. Navigation, combat, positioning, statistics for each crew member, all this slows the flow of battle to a sluggish, agonizing pace. Not only are they unnecessarily detailed, they are not fun at all. At least with click+move strategy games, there’s a turn order and mind games you can play. With this, it’s literally a race against time as you frantically try to recall which is where, all the while you are pelted by cannonballs and screams of your crewmen. I believe the game is aware of this glaring issue but reluctant to fix it because the advice included in the tutorial is literally to “pause the game to search for the controls”. It’s like giving players a fistful of entangled yarn and a timed knitting challenge, instead of just a simple neat ball of yarn. “Just pause the challenge to untangle them! Totally not bad design.” A visually pleasing mess with lots of room for improvement. Would suggest a complete overhaul of the game system, otherwise it would kill a player’s appetite before they reach the main course, let alone purchase your DLCs. As for the ship’s map controls, add a joystick to replace the drag-to-move system, or maybe even a “draw your course” auto-pilot tool. It’s misreading inputs and heading in locked directions I cannot correct unless I let go to tap time and time again..BryanungVersion: 1.0.4

✓ DisappointedI have been waiting for this game for so long and it’s pretty boring and bad don’t get.FycyfcfvguuvVersion: 1.0.6

✓ Stop pausing my musicThe game is great I have no issues with it however I can find no way to play my own music in the background while running the game without it pausing a few seconds after opening the game. I get that the game has its own audio but if you’re going to have settings where you can mute it then allow other things to play over it..Radge325Version: 1.0.7

✓ Great game, but the app is buggyGreat game play. But (1) no offline play. I paid for the game, but every time I’m not connected I get shut down with a “purchase game.” Message, and (2) I defeated the boss, saved, went back, to find I have to defeat him again!.Aloha_KSAVersion: 1.0.9

✓ Its good but..Stuck in tutorial, says purchase mortar gun but the script is in the way, and the check box doesn't work so i cant even play it. I was going to buy full version but if i cant even test it whats the point.RosegodcogaVersion: 1.0.9

✓ This one glitch makes the game unplayableWhen I tried to use the swivel gun one the tutorial battle a second time but when I clicked on the ship it just said “invalid target “ good game but needs more bug fixes.UicydyrgdfruuedojVersion: 1.0.9

✓ Ridiculous tutorialThe tutorial takes forever to finish and you basically can’t do anything on your own till it’s done. Constant pop ups and it leaves nothing for you to figure out on your own. Garbage..JpullaVersion: 1.0.8

✓ Seems okWhen the game tells me to to buy the mortars and it runs through the screen , tap to add mortars and it freezes , it says I have no space. Can you fix this glitch, this will determine if I continue to like me game and buy it...Bug 28Version: 1.0.9

✓ Scummy tacticSo, the game is free to download but when you launch it, you cant do anything… you need to spend £6+ to actually buy the campaign/be able to play.EpiczzzzzpieVersion: 1.0.7

✓ Don’t install unless you are FASCINATED with shipsRight off the bat they cram you with like 50 different mechanics of the game and it seems never ending. And the ship mechanics got way too in depth, Couldn't even play for 15 minutes because it seemed like a lot more work than it was worth. I can appreciate trying to be realistic but you went way overboard (no pun intended) and it makes the game feel very dull..HonestTruthTellingJohnaldVersion: 1.0.9

✓ Decent but needs workPlayed the game though the free version, bought the full version and the game feels totally empty, no ports or any way to actually progress without a long time of backtracking. Went through 2 hours of play without a way to heal or progress which really takes you out of the immersion of a breathing world. Free play is terrible not worth the money in any way. Love the idea and concept and first 3 hours, but as soon as I payed I wish I had my money back..Jack HersheyVersion: 1.0.9

✓ The makings of a fun gameThe story is intriguing . The graphics are not bad . The gameplay is good but unless your going to buy the game before you play you get two maps before it locks you in and you have to buy it to do anything ..Orting SonVersion: 1.0.9

✓ The title of this game says it allImagine playing a game, thinking you would have the freedom to play. Then be disappointed when 20 minutes later you are still being told what to do. Yes, twenty minutes the game still wants you to see all the lovely work the dev thought of. Deleted, regret even putting this on my wish list. Abandoned ship? this ship sunk..AchinVersion: 1.0.5

✓ Unable to playFirst part of the game is great. But When buying your first set of weapons the game gets stuck. (The information tag is above where it wants you to select) I’m guessing this game is not really designed for use on a phone..HshdbjauVersion: 1.0.8

✓ Tricky controlsThe controls arent well labeled or explained which makes the tutorial a bit of a grind. But game has huge potential. Just not willing to invest time in learning curve.SteviespinVersion: 1.0.9

✓ Rubbish and way too complicatedThis game looks good, until you get to do anything. It’s got a clunky tutorial with pointless instructions and requires you to click too many things to be able to complete a simple task. Don’t even bother, it’s just way too tiresome to try..DeepRollerVersion: 1.0.8

✓ Beat the gameOverall was a fun experience, till I got a good combo of weapons in the corvette which made the game to easy, to fast and really boring. The end I was hoping for a challenge but it ended with a single ship battle??? I don’t get to fight the big monster? The single ship didn’t even put up a fight, it lasted 30 secs and it was over. I want to see the game get progressively harder. I had high hopes for this game but about midway through it became underwhelming and just a meh game in the end. Was almost there ….ForemoreVersion: 1.0.9

✓ Could be betterNeeds more ship upgrades, customisable weapon load outs, more events it’s seems abit repetitive but overall it’s a good game.97639477292763Version: 1.0.9

✓ Game BrokeIt was a fun game until I got to a port. I had already died so I was on a ship with two mortars and nothing else. The tutorial wouldn’t allow me to continue because of that. Very shortsighted..Poopman XIVVersion: 1.0.8

✓ Have to buy everythingJust a demo essentially. Everything necessary needs to be bought.Josh deBoerVersion: 1.0.5

✓ Decent gameThis game is Awesome but why do I have to pay 11 dollars just for the campaign.BdhdiehfhemaofjrnsnfornalmfjejVersion: 1.0.5

✓ Can’t play anymoreThis game was good when I first played it so I brought the full game but fast forward a hour or two and now no matter what save I am on I can’t move or control the boat.Buddie1115Version: 1.0.8

✓ Unnecessary Internet ConnectionI was looking for a game to play during flights. This game seemed perfect so I bought all the content (the game is great). I come to find out that without an internet connection my phone can not verify that I own the game and blocks me from playing it. I guess I’m paying for access rather than ownership and that wasn’t communicated in the description. I just want to enjoy the game on a plane..SadguyonaplaneVersion: 1.0.9

✓ Why would I buy this freezey, buggy thing?I was quite getting into this, and was going to buy, but after a couple of restart-requiring freezes, I thought I’d wait a bit. Good sense, as I have now reached a point of no return - the game freezes at the point of buying weapons for the first time and there is no way round it. I’ve shut down and restarted three times just on this bit. Please fix it or tell me how to navigate round it. Otherwise it’s Davy Jones’s Locker for you! Arrgghhh!.What?22Version: 1.0.8

✓ Forced tutorial is garbageThe game wants to hold your hand to the point you don’t actually get to make a single decision on your own with no way to turn off. Wants me to use the swivel gun but won’t let me fire or aim this is an incredibly annoying design of most modern mobile games wish I could just turn off the hold your hand system :/.Gorgeous gouseVersion: 1.0.8

✓ Great story, critical failure!At the first chance of ship upgrade and optimization the game freezes with tutorial pop up . Please fix 5 star if fixed.MrBungle8976230Version: 1.0.9
