✦ AI summary

Players report serious technical and security concerns, with multiple accounts of suspicious background processes suggesting potential crypto mining, broken login systems, and numerous bugs affecting gameplay. While one player praised the pirate adventure concept and ship progression mechanics, the overwhelming consensus is that the game is poorly coded, buggy, and unfinished, with complaints about lag, broken UI elements, repetitive missions, and a confusing progression system that makes it difficult to recommend.

[H1]SCAM LIKELY[/H1] Flagged and reported to Valve. Pretty clearly a quick RPGMaker job based on a popular IP(One PIece) to trick people into unknowingly mining crypto for the "developer". A very sloppy and poorly coded game at best. Here's what I sent to Valve: "Account sign-up uses an unsecure website, and while running the game introduces anywhere from one to three rogue processes that run in the background separately from the game client. Trying to close these extra processes requires Steam to be restarted, if not my PC. Most likely a crypto mining scam game."

Quite bugged: the login UI is not even working. Has this game been completed or what??

Игра "Rise of the Pirates" - это увлекательное приключение в мире пиратов, полное захватывающих морских сражений и поиска сокровищ. Геймплей затягивает с первых минут благодаря динамичным боям и возможности прокачивать свой корабль и команду. Визуально игра выглядит довольно приятно, хотя графика и не самая передовая, но стилистика и эффекты сражений создают атмосферу настоящего пиратства. Основной упор сделан на развитие: нужно исследовать острова, собирать ресурсы, улучшать корабль и нанимать новых матросов. Интересно, что каждое решение влияет на дальнейшее развитие, и можно выбрать совершенно разные пути для своего пиратского флота. Однако, есть и недостатки. Иногда игра может показаться немного однообразной из-за повторяющихся миссий. Ещё хотелось бы больше разнообразия во врагах и типах кораблей. Но в целом, "Rise of the Pirates" - достойный представитель жанра, способный увлечь на долгие часы. Рекомендую всем любителям пиратской тематики и приключений!

Horrible game. Very buggy, feels bad to play and is boring. Lots of typos in UI. UI elements will break randomly.

Runs poorly, lags, no background music/ambience and a weird complicated system.
