About the game
Sail a fleet of customizable ships across an ocean whose ancient depths have swallowed the key to the mysterious past. Befriend fishfolk to expand your boat crews, take up arms against petulant pirates, and chart a course across an expansive watery world. Will you answer the call of High Adventure?

The value story
41 discounts in the 4 years on record, a median of 40 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today's $9.79 at 51 percent off still sits 23 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games closest to it, The Pirate: Caribbean Hunt (free, scores 57) and Pine ($24.99, scores 34) both come in lower.

What players say
It's cute. The sailing is also really accurate. It's like a more colorful Sea of Thieves with more ships and better physics.

Great game to play with a controller. The gameplay is easy to learn, relaxing, and surprisingly addictive-I sat down for what I thought would be a quick two-hour session, only to realize five hours had flown by. Definitely worth your time if you're looking for a low-stress sailing and exploration game.
Might be fun for some but was ultimately a disappointment for me. The ocean is beautiful but there isn't much else. The islands are boring and simple. Most of the NPCs look the same. Just about every fight I find is 10x tougher than it looks and you can't tell how strong they are until you start fighting, then your ship is gone. To be honest, I've never played a game that made me feel like I could do a better job...
