PC Gamer: 78 / 100 by Luke Kemp
Fun, cartoonish pirating, which makes you feel cheeky rather than evil.
PC Invasion: 7 / 10 by Jason Rodriguez
Think of King of Seas as yet another spiritual successor to Sid Meier's Pirates! It has all the tools needed to keep you entertained for many hours. Unfortunately, it's also lacking in certain departments, leading to a more streamlined approach that can't compare to the classic.
PlayStation Universe: 4 / 10 by Martyn Locker
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.
King of Seas Description
King of Seas is a 3D RPG set in an open, procedurally generated fantasy world with a pirate theme. The game was developed and released by an independent studio 3DClouds (known from such titles as Xenon Racer or All-Star Fruit Racing).
Mechanics
King of Seas is a rather unusual RPG game in which instead of a human hero we control the ship. In the game, the action is most often observed from isometric perspective), but we can adjust the camera position. Our main task is to explore the location and perform various tasks. We can also search for treasure, fish, trade, and conquer ports, so that we can access more missions.
The game offers a vast, open world, the content of which is generated randomly - so each approach looks a little different. The developers also made sure that the game environment changes during the adventure itself (often in response to player actions). Many parts of the map are hidden in dense fog, so we have to move carefully. The game also offers a dynamic weather system (for example, we must pay attention to storms and wind direction).
From time to time we take part in naval battles, in which both the service of the guns and efficient maneuvering count. In the course of the game we gain new skills and develop our ship.
Game modes
We can only play King of Seas alone. The core of the gameplay is the single player mode.
Technical aspects
King of Seas offers quite a simple, three-dimensional graphic design. The developers never tried for realism - instead, the style used here brings to mind e.g. World of Warcraft or Fortnite. Also noteworthy are the animations accompanying the various attacks.
