## Privateers Reviews in United States

### ***** "HOIST THE COLORS"
Really great start so far! Looking forward to seeing more of this game! I really wanna keep playing and see more to this. More ships more maps, more everything! Keep it up
-- Chazene_, 2026-09-11

### ****- "Great game, Needs more development"
Very good game with fair advancement until you beat the last boss on the 2nd map. Even when using the best ship fully upgraded, the 2nd best ship can easily beat you, and it becomes very very difficult to upgrade anything. Would like to see some intermediate levels, more maps, and the ability to go to previous levels.
-- JJC1522, 2026-09-10

### *---- "Disappointing"
Worked hard and saved for the brig just for you to take all the gems away from the boats what a rip off.. don’t think I’ll keep playing
-- idobtwantafqnickname, 2026-09-10

### ***-- "Pretty fun, but scaling is an issue"
This game is great. However, once you get to a certain amount of upgrades, you start getting less gems from enemies. It works if upgrades don't scale in price the way they do. It seems unfair that you get penalized for upgrading your ship.
-- Satisfied Consumer no. 1, 2026-09-09

### ****- "Just needs more options"
I want to be able to go back to the first map, because on the second map the gem grind is horrible. I never would’ve moved to the next map if I knew it would be like this, no gem boats, and then when I kill the enemy’s that have gems it takes forever for them to respawn with the gems. Other than that it’s a pretty good game I did buy the no forced adds because it was unbearable.
-- Bootiegobbler69, 2026-09-09

### ***** "Needs additions but super fun"
Needs multiplayer capability with like clans etc, boss battles, events, ship customization, more use for grey blueprints, more maps, ability to go back to start map too, don’t give up on this game!
-- Andrew Hopper, 2026-09-04

### ***** "Rare"
This is a rare game where the ads for it are actually true and it’s a very fun game to boot great job.
-- sinstereo, 2026-09-03

### ***** "Fun game"
Fun game and it doesn’t cost you a fortune to play it
-- Killjoy 7777, 2026-09-03

### ***-- "Amazing idea, poorly executed"
This game ie actually really good! However the progression system is excruciatingly grindy. Especially when it comes to acquiring new ships which are basically essential to progressing. Would def recommend reducing the cost of the ships or increasing the ability to earn currency for the ships.
-- gogumartin, 2026-09-03

### ***** "Hate the ads"
Fun game except the ad traps
-- Speed wagon ar, 2026-09-01

### *---- "Paywalls for progress"
This would be a good game, but if you want to advance past anything or unlock anything, you have to pay with a currency only gained through in app purchases. I really hate this model for phone games, it would be nice to just have a fun game with free progression for once. DONT DOWNLOAD UNLESS YOU WANT TO SPEND MONEY, or be forever frustratingly outplayed by people who do.
-- raausyabdbdb, 2026-08-31

### *---- "Adds take over"
Great gameplay then the adds start creeping in and eventually just become part of the game and are unavoidable and LONGGGG. I am uninstalling because want to play a game instead of watching adds.
-- Daver219, 2026-08-30

### **--- "ADS!"
TLDR; I paid for ad free but it doesn’t fully remove ads. 

When you first start playing there aren’t many ads but once you upgrade your ship you’ll be forced to watch an ad everytime you go to port and if you close game and reopen you don’t get your loot.  

On top of that, basically the only way to progress is by watching the ads for gems unless you wanna waste $ paying for them.  For this reason I purchased ad free and that didn’t do what I intended it would do.  Typically when you pay for ad free in mobile games those bonuses that pop up instantly are acquired instead of still being forced to watch ads.  All it does is remove ads from going to port.

Map 1 offers gem ships that you can hunt to get decent gems but once you advance to map 2 there are no more gem ships and you can’t return to map 1.  

GIVE US AD FREE BONUSES FOR PAYING FOR AD FREE!
-- SlashtaCross, 2026-08-27

### **--- "Too many ads"
This app was great at first then it was ad after ad after ad. Hate it because of this.
-- hehzhzhxjzjsjr, 2026-08-25

### ***-- "We need.."
The capability of going back to the first area (Many games similar to this have that option) A new use for the basic (grey) blueprints. Collecting them while having no use is a waste of time”rewards”
Crew boarding rework (some ships are too slow after max upgrade and others turn away breaking the boarding time) 
More enemies on the second location as it’s too spacious. Probably a third location or more. The game becomes a grind for nothing at this point. You don’t need to grind for the 2k gems for Frigate, let alone upgrading canons as the strongest ship is easily crushed just midway.
-- zryrz, 2026-08-23

### ***** "Fun"
This game has so pretty misleading reviews, it’s a very simple to play game minimal controls which can be frustrating at times but there’s a learning curve. You grind currency types to upgrade your weapons and ships and there’s multiple maps for you to explore through. Boarding ships is a bit tricky sometimes but it’s always worth it. Great free to play game.
-- Richard saggin, 2026-08-23

### ***** "Great start?"
The game has excellent bones. I’ve been wanting a game like this for a long time. My only hope is that more is coming. Ship customization, naming your ship, lateral classes as opposed to just bigger ship is better ship. More maps, cooler enemies (Kraken!). I like the beginning map it would be cool to be able to travel back to it (with harder enemies or whatever it needs to be challenging again. I like the gun tree already, no notes.
-- Badassi, 2026-08-21

### ***-- "Great idea. Needs work. Slightly greedy with the forced adds and gem requirements."
Such a creative concept for a one thumb Mobil game. The firing and steering is amazing. The crew and boarding feature is a great risk/reward aspect to sea battles. The guns and upgrades are decent. Getting stuck in map 2 SUCKS. Please add a feature to go back!! Also maybe instead of railing us with ads, allow a purchased addon map to make this profitable. I would totally pay for that. 

The biggest flaw however is that there is no endgame. You just start grinding for gems to buy impossibly expensive final ship with nothing to do with it. You get millions of coins and nothing to spend them on. I was so hooked and wanted to keep playing but ran out of any reason to do so.
-- The Donald!, 2026-08-21

### *---- "$20 for no adds 😂"
Oh want to buy gems to upgrade? Go for it! Want no adds? $20!!! $20 for this garbage if you don’t want forced adds. Do you get no adds with any other purchase? Nope 😂😂😂
-- Killerace3, 2026-08-21

### *---- "Don’t get it"
Just another ad game that spams ad every chance they get.
-- Chase4433p, 2026-08-20
