King of Seas Reviews
King of Seas looks great and has some great ship-to-ship combat but is let down by its underwhelming exploration and basic story.
Fun, cartoonish pirating, which makes you feel cheeky rather than evil.
King of Seas has some appealing bits to it like building up your ship and seeking out treasure but it gets repetitious and takes a long time to get anywhere. It looks good and can be fun for a little while but if you’re seeking the pirate life there may be better options out there.
I can imagine that for some, King of Seas could be a very satisfying and relaxing game if you have patience and interest in a more realistic style of in-game sailing. But for me, it doesn’t have enough gusto to keep my interest, which is a shame because it promises so much and on the surface looks like such an exciting game.
Who wouldn’t want to be a pirate? Sailing the seven seas, swashbuckling your way across the open waters. Sinking ships, plundering treasure, and trading stolen goods at various pirate friendly ports.
King of Seas is a quiet and peaceful procedural adventure that will make you love its interesting combat mechanics, but that gives up on proposing any innovation whatsoever.

King Of Seas ultimately suffers through a lack of visual polish, some frustrating gameplay mechanics, and dull pacing and sequences, which when all combined together create a thoroughly unremarkable experience that doesn't manage to hold its own against even some of the most average of pirate games on the market.
The ship combat and looting might carry King of Seas' piratical adventure for some, just beware that there's grinding through a bunch of stretched out story missions to get to the heart of the game. It's a game to break out when you're feeling extra piratey, but it has enough flaws that you should weigh them up before getting your cutlass out.
In theory, a pleasant and relaxing game. However, king of seas' subsequent story events are blocked behind higher levels of experience and gold. So you have to take the time to get them. In addition, there are repetitive side quests, little music and not fully thought out gameplay.

Superficial and dull, King of Seas is more like a "get through the boredom" challenge than fine adventure game.

King of Seas is a good piracy-themed game, but it doesn't seem to have found a perfect balance between a solid management system and engaging, exciting gameplay. It has its aesthetic limitations and merits in an adventurous narrative, but it lacks repetitiveness and frustratingly tedious passages.

King of Seas is an interesting proposition. Mixing the idea of an overhead view ARPG in true devil style mixed with pirate ships, cannons and a procedural world sounds good. But the execution is half-ted, or at least that's the feeling that leaves us at the controls.

King of Seas is an open world game that is momentarily attractive due to its various aspects related to gameplay, the RPG progression system and naval combat. However, its qualities cannot face the strong waves of the ocean that drown the fun in moments. With a generic open world, repetitive main and side missions, and frequent crashes, the 3DClouds title is a reasonably interesting pirate adventure.

King of Seas feels like an early-access version of a game that doesn’t want to admit it’s still in early-access. There’s an interesting game waiting to be played beneath a sea of performance issues and incomplete design choices. When everything works and the design comes together, King of Seas is a delightful pirate romp that briefly holds in its hand the map leading to the treasure of a portable pirate adventure.
It may not be everyone's flagon of grog but I had an excellent time with King of Seas and will continue to until I dominate the high seas.
Small pirate adventure for modest sailors. Possible for casual and young players.

But ultimately, King of Seas succeeds in most of its goals. It offers an enjoyable top-down pirate ship experience, with an engaging battle system, pleasant worlds, an interesting RPG skilltree and a pleasant story. On paper, it doesn’t do anything innovative or new, and yet the end result is an original and fun experience with a clear identity, one that we hope the developers can expand upon with updates or a sequel.
King of the Seas is a pirate-themed action RPG that lets you command the high seas with power…or sink to the darkest depths of the ocean.
Despite some ebb tide in the form of questionable mechanics, King of Seas is a thoroughly enjoyable game. A ton of replayability and very free gameplay make this game enjoyable to binge or in bite-sized sessions alike. If you are looking for a no-frills experience that you can enjoy in your very own way, King of Seas is the game for you.
King of Seas is akin to a reputably strong pirate now maligned with scurvy. You can easily see how this pirate game could be a great success, but so many deleterious design issues turn it into something cursed.
