Captain a wide variety of unique sailing vessels, explore and trade whilst combating enemy ships in frantic naval action.

out in early access .... from the steam reviews it looks like it has quite a potential

PROS:
Ship combat is easy, accessible, and stresses fun over realism but still keeps the realistic feel alive. Combat is fast paced and rewards daring maneuvers.
Extremely unique ships with crazy weapons such as drills, catapults and boat rams makes each time you fight a new ship a new experience. Higher end ships are NOT just stronger copies of the smaller ships.
Warhammer universe inherently gives the game a lot of potential lore to work off of.
Easy to understand trade system takes the pain out trading while still allowing more advanced players the option to profit greatly if they are smart about which city needs what resource.
CONS:
Only Orcs and Humans are currently in the game as well as the map being limited to the first few cities resulting in only a few hours of content being currently available.
Sailing is long and boring, even with a 2x time speed up it takes a bit too long to get anywhere especially when you have to run back and forth during quests.
There is severe graphical hitching when loading in new ships or cities. Framerate also is very inconsistent even on my GTX 970.
Quests need balancing, as many of the longer quests give you extremely low amounts of gold in relation to how much work you do.
SUMMARY:
As someone who hated Naval Action for having long drawn out boring battles Man O’ War really hits the spot for me by providing fast paced, fun ship vs ship combat. Ship combat and control is simplified with you only needing to worry about the range of your shots and the direction of the wind, giving the game a more casual (but still deep) gameplay feel. The biggest problem with the game is that there is only a tiny bit of content available; you are restricted to only exploring around 1/10th of the map and interacting with only 4 factions which you will quickly run out of things to do with. While I don’t think this game is currently worth the price tag, I do think it is a game that will eventually grow into one of the best naval combat games available as it progresses through early access.

When we first launched into Early Access back in April 2016 we had a rather optimistic note saying "four months". We suspected at the time we'd be working on things a little bit longer than that before we got to a 1.0 build we were happy with and thanks to the fantastic feedback and support from the Man O' War: Corsair community we've been able to keep ourselves busy for almost a year.
And I know from our feedback lists and discussions that we've got plenty of ideas, suggestions and feedback to keep us going for plenty of time to come.
Thanks to all that time, we now have a game that can float on its own hull - it's been tested in battle (lots of battles, so many orcs) and fire by you folks, many a bug has been found and fixed.
We have an in-depth open world sandbox campaign for the Independent humans, and a straight forward pillage and destroy campaign with Khorne. We have Custom Battles to allow you to fight any of the races against the others - 34 different ship types, 13 types of wizard.
So we just about feel ready to let other people on board - not just you brave early access pioneers and explorers.
I'm sure I can fit some more nautical puns in here somewhere...
Are we done then? Stick a stamp that says "1.0" and run off into the wilderness?
Don't be daft - we've got plans for the next few updates already set and there's a whole host of excellent ideas from the community that we'd like to put into place.
What can you expect from Man O' War: Corsair in the next few months?
Post-1.0 we'll be working on a few things but we aim to start with:
- additional Chaos campaigns
- Imperial and Bretonnian campaign
- Increased difficulty mode campaign (for those of you who find it too easy!)
Please do continue to give us your feedback and suggestions - we'd love to keep updating this game and if people are all asking for the same thing we know what we should do first!
Thanks once again to all of you for your feedback, bug reports, but more importantly your support and encouragement through Early Access - we couldn't ask for a better community
I played the EA some time ago and I found the game very lacking. It has been sometime last year tho. But the whole game just didn't really get me interested tbh. It feels like "a part of another game that isn't there"
well year ago it was a lot , lot smaller,will check some reviews and shit
So far fro what i read its more like a mix between Pirates! and mount and blade with ACBF-like ship combat set in wahammer universe ... and mostly positive reviewes/impressions
yep really like some parts parts of it like obliterating everything in Chaos campaign or sailing wierd orc or skaven ship in Custom battle , but some stuff is kinda messy especially the ones that wasnt originally planned like melee
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
