Honestly, the puppet aesthetic is such a cool and weird vibe—it really makes the whole pirate thing pop. Can't wait to see if the free-to-play loop feels rewarding or just another grind.
The blend of turn-based party combat with ship battles sounds like a fresh twist on the pirate genre. Netease seems to be cooking up something surprisingly ambitious with that free-to-play model.
