Meh

I feel kinda cheated paying for such a short story. Also would have liked more details and scenes regarding romance.

An uninteresting bore.

Short response: This game is an uninteresting bore, don't buy it. Long response: The only reason this gets 2 stars instead of 1 is that I can see the potential for a great game here. The ideas for the magic are interesting, and pirates are awesome. That said, I can't reccomend this gane. The characters are flat, the choices uninspired, and the scenarios dull. I pushed through, hoping desperately that there would be something great, but there wasn't. The game ends in a rushed climax which left me feeling hollow. This was not the pirate adventure I signed up for.

Don't bother

Not worth the money. I finished the story in a couple of hours and was not very satisfying story wise

Ok I guess

It starts off well but ends up just feeling random and forced. Plus it's REALLY short. I was excited for this because...well.. PIRATES! But this just turned out not to be worth buying. Plus your choices didn't really matter all that much expect towards the very end. Where you either die or don't.

Thrilling
Elsewhere is here

A thrilling adventure with plenty of options that hadn't even occurred to me.

Great Potential

This game had the makings for a great story... I mean, who doesn't like pirates! But the execution of the story left a lot to be desired. The experiences started out great and the first few scenes were really fun and had a lot of color, but the rest of the story after that felt rushed and linear. Your decisions seemed to lack impact which made me wonder what the point of it all was. And the character development went south really quickly about mid story. Overall, I loved the idea and the concepts that were introduced, and the characters could have been really exciting, but in the end it none of it really came together and it all seemed to fall apart. Sadly, not worth the purchase.

Potential all around

This story could have so much more. Somehow the writer got off track and game play mechanics in your choices started to not only be silly but also have little to no effect on the game. I did enjoy the pirate mentality, the pirate talk and the history of the story. If this writer took more time and a bit more effort this story could be almost as good as the hero project series.
