Tempest - Pirate Action RPG Reviews

by Devilpossum

I’d give this game 5 stars if a few simple changes were made. Such as the combat being completely unbalanced in certain situations and missions like the princess rescue. You could pay real money and get the best of everything in the game and still be killed in 5 seconds just by walking towards the enemy pirate camp before you even have a chance. Sometimes before you even see who is shooting at you! And there’s no way to heal yourself! How ridiculous! The controls and graphics are almost there they just need a little update to be a little more smooth then they currently are. The game is a ton of fun and has a lot of potential. Right up until you get slaughtered and lose all of your good items. A few new ships and making sea battles feel a little more in-depth wouldn’t hurt either. Until the fixes/improvements are made it’s really really not worth spending money on, but if you’re looking for a low rent game to play for free this is it.

I downloaded the game a week or so ago. I played it, liked it, so I bought the full version, because what they offer you in the basic version is close to nothing. But just two days ago, I go to start it up and it crashes. I payed 8 dollars for the game to crash. And what is worse, when I go to contact the devs, it gives me an error. And I tried on both my iPad and my iPhone, no difference. So I had to go to their web sight and write them an email. And surprise surprise, haven’t heard from them for over a day and a half now. I tried reinstalling the game, resetting my devices. It’s something with my save, which is now probably corrupted. If they made it easy to contact them, I’d be fine with that, but they really don’t. If I don’t get a reply by tomorrow I will be contacting apple.

I found this game so I could play something that was close to sea of thieves, and this game is very close for a mobile game. Be warned I removed the game due to the amount of ads while playing. After each ad a box comes up and ask you if you are done with the ads. If you say yes you will have to pay $.99 cents. No will give you 3 to five minutes before the next ad pops up then ask you again to get you to pay. Also if you want to play all the maps you will have to pay $4.99. Which if you want to play the in game task you will have to have all three maps. This would be a great game but unless you are willing to pay for all the good parts is not very much fun.

I love playing the little bit of game you can play!! It is great! But they try to make you pay for everything!! For example, you can board ships, but in order to capture ships, you have to buy the full version. If you want to unlock all refurbishment slots, you have to buy the full version. If you want to play all of the quest, you have to buy the full version. If you want to go to other maps, you have to buy the full version(I tried sailing off the edge of the map, and they send sea monsters that kill you!! No way to get away from them) if you want to buy new ships with coins, you have to buy the full version. So until they stop trying to make you buy EVERYTHING, I’m done playing this game!!

The game would be pretty great (only reason it got two), IF it were not for a serious flaw in game controls that the developers seems unwilling or unable to fix. The camera view and movement controls glitch so the movement starts to control the camera view, and NOTHING controls the movement. You have to stop touching the screen for a second to get it all to reset, and in any close battle, especially in the 3rd person player mode where you run around with a sword, it will cause you to die, A LOT. Such a shame! On top of that, the advertisements for expansions and boost packs randomly appear the top of the main sailing gameplay screen, larger than any other icons on the screen, no way to hide them I can find, and when tacked on next to the normal icons, they block the top left part of the screen pretty well, which is no good. Sell things when players log on or go to menus, NOT in the middle of gameplay.

Ok, I get it the company needs money, but gimmie a break you’d be just as rich from just game sales any way. Phones need more games like this, I’m sick of these boring, dumb, and depressing “strategy” games. This game YOU are the one getting the job done, and no this isn’t a “boring ship game” in some places you have a small area where you can use swords AND GUNS. To make this better all they’d need is to make you able to actually leave the ship on your own in more places, and my favorite, be able dual wield guns, which was a thing back then, as well as multiple barreled flintlocks to allow more shots. This game is one of the better phone games and I think I’ll have it for a while. But there are still some sketchy AF things in this game, Example: the game says you need to visit other ports to find other ships. I’ve been to every port in the game and I’ve found one new ship, apparently to get the rest of them you have to use YOUR REAL MONEY to get them. This game has significantly more potential than the greedy bosses seem to realize.

So three days into the game and I’m getting used to the controls and overall really beginning to enjoy the game. I’m out at sea when I receive the day three or four rewards and this over fills my boat. Now I can barely move. I have tried to be patient and just float to port but it’s been hours and barely noticeable progress. Since I haven’t paid, I cannot capture another ship. My only hope is to dump nearly half my loot. So I figured since I have to lose everything anyway I’ll just start over. This just reset all of my XP but it restarts with me away from port and with most of my earned loot. Now I am still overweight and cannot move. All of my progress is lost. My only hope is to throw away all 3 or 4 day’s worth of rewards. So frustrating. I don’t think I’ll be playing again.

First I got to say I really love the older version of this game, (with its last update a few months ago) which can be found with the identical name. I’ve purchased a few DLCs there and enjoyed the pirate life long enough and had my ship equipped with every best things I’ve collected (including those from undead ships!)
Then, found this newer version getting more recent updates.
Being curious as to whether anything is different or new, what I actually found is it to be identical but making me start all over again with no option to resume my previous progress!
Just hope that you won’t leave out the all time players of “the older version” from updates.

I want to start off with this game is great! Although I know you guys are actively on this game. (Played with “haleyeah”) I just wish you guys would push more updates. Such as an actual communication system because people hardly talk to each other and deprives everyone of the ‘faction’ mechanic. It would also be great for the landing cannon shots (during a boarding conflict) to either land slower or make AI smarter to divert themselves from it. Because I played numerous of times with a online buddy helping me and he shoots and the boat helping he is killing them; although he has either killed me or my teammates (which basically makes us lose the game automatically.) Again for people reading this, THIS GAME IS GREAT! It just needs some updates. Lastly devs please...I understand one person shouldn’t influence a game incredibly. But something that me and my brothers thought would be great it having a game mechanic where you and another player can board one boat! Either that or have us work on each other boats and shoot cannon and help with flags or boarding. Please devs reply guys I would absolutely love if you guys did, sorry for paragraph as well ;)

I love this game, I’ve been addicted to it ever since I downloaded it. Just a one thing (the only reason it got 4 stars), I really think that there should be more fun things to do, like more legendary ships like the Grim Reaper, that was so fun and having the chance to capture it and keep it. I think more things like this would be great. Stuff like legendary ship missions or even ships available for purchase, like the Flying Dutchman or the Queen Anne’s Revenge or something of that nature. I would definitely pay for that. To add on to that would just be more ship suggestions for other ships, all the ships are pretty plain and there aren’t a lot of options that make your ship unique. Anyways, that’s really all I have! Such a great game though, definitely worth downloading, looking forward to what’s next!!

First let me start by saying how fun this game is. I’ve spent hours and hours playing; it’s very addicting! I love the graphics and feel they are truly really good especially for an iPhone game.
As good as it is, there is always room for improvements. Here are some improvements I would love to see in the game to make it even better:
-Fix some of the economics of the game. It’s nearly impossible to earn money because the payout of defeating someone doesn’t even come close to what you have to spend to repair and restock your ship.
-Allow us more control over how our own city looks. Let us name our city. Allow us to place certain builds or choose architectural styles. Perhaps ships we’ve claimed as trophies can be placed in our city’s harbor or possibly even escort us on missions if we choose.
-Let us create our own Fractions. We could design our flags, name our fraction, our city can carry it, and with our custom Fraction, perhaps we could even create our own empire or country; claiming land and building other cities.
-Add more designs and art for our ships, i.e more paint jobs, uniforms for our crew, etc

I love the game overall. I wish there was a little more loot but otherwise the action is great and the ship on ship battles are amazing. I am having one problem though, there seems to have been some sort of Halloween thing they did with jack-o-lanterns and giant bulky ghosts. That was okay at the time, but now the ghosts and pumpkins are still here and they obstruct my view when I am sailing my ship. They also are not very visually appealing. I’m pretty sure they are not supposed to be there but I have no idea how to get rid of them, and customer support has not been very helpful.

This game is just hurting for an update! Bug fixes such as missions sometimes not popping up so stuck in certain areas of the game such as the city missions that can’t be complete :/ on the other hand great game nice graphics (can be made a little better but don’t expect the world.) really well game as said. Love the factions. And wish missions will go in more detail on what to do instead of giving one sentence and calling it a day. Lastly, online could use a major update such as actually communication, and partner(s) interactions such as missions quest on island or boarding same boat. And more advertising for multiplayer, you’ll only play with the same 5 people.

I absolutely love the this game I don’t mind the ads it’s just business. But the reason why I truly love this game is because it is immersive it takes you into that pirate world when you battle against Davy Jones Ship. And the other battles as well.

Now, I surely would love some more detail on the Kraken because when you are fighting it it always has its head out of the water I would love if the creator’s of this game could pay attention to Pirates of the Carribean.

Anyway I give this game 10 bullets out of 10 swords. GREAT GAME.

I really love the game I’ve recently got the Asian seas and love it love the new ships what I guess I’m asking is maybe there be a mission in calm seas for the ultimate ship as in the biggest baddest ship out there only available during a mission when I was rescuing the emperor’s daughter great mission but when it came to getting into the hideouts it was kinda unfair so i used the objects in the game to dodge the bullets from them and used the dragon pistol and the cannons to take them out nice game and maybe have a skeleton crew at some point or be able to customize ur pirate captain love the game I do have more ideas for future development of the game love it best pirate game so far btw how am I supposed to get Davy Jones treasury if it’s offf the map and the leviathan always stops me

by Stonk Boi123

I personally love this game especially for a mobile game! Just one thing i’d change, i do not spend money on add-ons and this game to get any fun progress you must buy add ons, specifically ships, i wish that you could have new ships without buying an add on. This would be so great, if you made a really crazy mission to earn a nerfed bark or something that is available for everyone even without add ons, this would be very fun! Or have an expensive bark or something at only one island! Again this game is great everything is perfect exept for the fact that if you dont get add ons you are stuck on a, well boring xebec. Its not nesasarily boring, ive just been playing for days worth of time and i want to spice up the game! Keep up the good work!!!! You guys are very good at what you do!!! - VERY SATISFIED! Update on my review!!! : the devs are AMAZING they are on top of thier game and dont leave any user in the dust!!! Tempest and the devs are perfect! Thank you devs and keep up the AMAZING work!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Update on my review- Everyone who wants to get this game should definitely get it they are pretty amazing people, they helped with the ship issue in a matter of a week! THANK YOU!!!!🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 - a satisfied customer

Quests won’t complete and result in you being chased by trash mobs all game. Issues with in app purchases not showing. I’m waiting on my 100k gold iap to get fixed but I’ve already made 7 million just playing. It’s only 2 bucks lost but customer support was not helpful. Frustrated because I really enjoy the gameplay. If you don’t mind paying full price to play the beta ...

Updated review down further just realized can’t change difficulty setting. It resets to medium immediately.

So many years ago, on first ever Xbox when Morrowwind was new, I used to love playing Pirates of the Caribbean, not the later game but this old thing I found used in a bin somewhere I think might have been released premovie even...
It’s land mission controls were so awful glitchy, but I suffered through that and other problems for the fantastic sea battles and have wondered for 12-15 years?...where is an update to that game!?!

There have been so many bad pirate ship games, Sid Meiers and all the rest, finally we got a cool one here...

Not many complaints, free to start but if you really wanna play the ads will bug you if you don’t pay up, but it feels like a game worth paying for so far...

It would be nice if you could toggle off the magic crystals and keep it more real but it’s still fun and challenging steering for the advantage;
I’m sure I’ll find more ways I wish it were more real and that’s my request to the wind for developers

I really love this games and it is one of the only great games that there are for ipad, but sometimes it can get boaring as it is great but after things get harder and harder and then boooom, it is easy again. I think that this game is so well made that me, who had never ever ever spent money on a game, this game is so well made that I wanted to throw my money in so I d' say that for the creators of this game congrates to you for making one of the greatest pirate games ever but still maby you could make a easier was of geting stuff apart from the island with skeletons. Anyway for all you parants if your kinds tempt to use money on a game I do not recomand this games as it is hard to not wast money on it. But I still love this game.

by Headless Haunter

Game is great since I recently came back to this one and continued on the emperor’s daughter quest and found that the pirate’s camp was far easier when you use strategy and not going in aimlessly as it’s not an easy fight up close especially when I had them all on me my advice hide behind an object so they fire at that and yes they have limited ammo and it’s now clear that it was supposed to be that hard and I even have the emperor’s friend achievement now I’m more confident that I can beat the secret lands quest so next time you’re badly injured when there are some nearby kill them and heal up just by standing near the campfire in the pirate camp and if you don’t believe me if you do get wounded then try it yourself!
