Eh.
Didn't like it. Couldn't do anything. Either start didn't let you do much and the combat was impossible to win. They always hit and they do more damage than you do.
Reviews for "Black Sails"
why?
it could have been great..... but its free online games isnt it.... havent you ever heard about quality over quantity? This could have been awsome but it wasnt... so many problems like when you try and board you should have anouther attack (eg grappling hooks) because when you try to board and you dont get it perfect it justs goes weird and the other ship just turns around and around..... there are soooo many reviews that are saying things you could do so why dont you listen?
Couldn't have stolen Sid's Pirates game idea more.
This game shows that you put a lot of effort into it, but for what? All you did was recreate Sid Meyiers PIRATES, and you did it very boring and badly. The sprites are beautiful but after that I see no more appeal.
If your going to pour your heart and soul into a game project, at least make sure the game your making is original. You even took the layout of the land, the ship battles, the cannon types, even the freaking music. You must not have an original bone in your body.
argh!
I'd love to be able to play this game, but three times in a row I've kitted my ship out as much as possible only to be immediately attacked by a pair of pirate ships that are much stronger than me... Gets kinda boring after the first time.
Maybe I missed something, is there any way to improve without sailing around waiting to be attacked?
Could have been a fun game, but it's not.
Would be nice if the camera stayed centered on my ship so I could actually see the enemy ship that's circling around me. Also wish I had known that switching ships means I'll have to upgrade my cannons all over again. Knowing that would have saved me a few thousand! And why do we need to pay to join a faction?
These few flaws are significant enough to make what could have been a neat game unenjoyable. There are probably more flaws but at this point I don't want to play this game anymore. I like the pixel art style but that's not going to save this game.
