Maelstrom is a fun and accessible pirate naval game with quick matches that players find enjoyable, though it's currently in flux under new developer management. The main complaints center on low player population making it hard to find matches, matchmaking bugs, and save/reward system issues that need fixing. Most active players are on the development server, and the community recommends checking the Discord for updates on the game's progress.
In a state of flux under new developer but a great, fun, easy to learn game with quick matches. Most players currently playing on the development server which you can choose in settings. Hit up their Discord for the latest.2 found this helpful

match making appears bugged, have to reset the game after every run to do gauntlet. only a portion of the rewards are being saved. i just smash an easy 25k plus 20k from completing missions and i was only able to spend 10 and after waiting awhile and resetting the game i have less than what i did when i closed the game. save profile needs work and guidelines.
