Blackwake

dada

nah

Good times when this game was popin. Wouldn't bother now it never has any players.

It's a shame this game is basically dead now because it is so much fun. Cartoonishly fun, very chaotic and unironically the best online pirate game. Had a ton of potential but the game is very dependent on having a full crew for multiple ships in a match.

Peak.

Literally one of the best games in it's glory days.
Wish there was more fps games like this that are truly just a joy to play
No seriousness, No elitism, No try harding. Everyone just has fun.
Just a shame it no longer has much of a player base.

yarrrrrr

Amazing game! Had fun with friends.

I still remember me and a team once kept our ship from sinking but we were literately a submarine with main deck under water for most of the match some how not fully sinking good times xD

Funny pirate game. Was hilarious to see people go flying as a cannonball tears through the ship.

Exciting in theory, but it's so laggy there's no point playing. Multiplayer UI is cluttered and complicated.

Its a great game, lots of detail and would be fun to play...
BUT NO ONE PLAYS IT.
30 People online aint good for pvp

very fun and funny

The best 1800:s RT ship game of them all

Not worth it, even if it's free. Nobody even plays this title anymore. I can't find any active servers.

It's free.

Was gud (abandoned)

Unique and fun, shame the player count isn't what it once was.

Even though the community is now very small and the game died for a while i can still say that there is a loyal group of us that still play. i dropped the game going into adulthood but ive played it since way back in beta when there were no skin textures and we only had small ships haha. a decade later i jumped back on to see its still kicking. its damn good gameplay if not a little janky, but given that the devs are pretty much gone its to be expected. the miami server is where its at so always join that as theres a few of us still going at it. lots of people from the uk, russia, germany, japan and many more so very international. and if youre a dev and reading this thanks for the game, but maybe add a hipfire reticle as weapons are a nightmare to aim lol love this game and still hop on very regularly so if you see me say hi and lets grapple and board the enemy. 10/10 would reccomend the antics are worth

Good game but poor optimization and a lot of cheaters.

Game is alright. Community is full of Racists and Russians tho so it's awful to play.

Ofcourse its improvable, but its fun.

.

The game is fun but there's like 50 people active and half of them will call you slurs on chat so 9.5/10

Deader than Blackbeard's peg. Too bad. The ship combat was novel and pretty fun.

game wont open :(

Great game its a shame its dead

Current state of the game going into 2025:
I recently checked the steamcharts, saw the population was small but steady, and peaked enough to fill a few servers.

So I decided to reinstall it.

It's not active like it was at its height, but there is still a small community kicking around.

From what I can tell, there are a lot of European players keeping it afloat. This puts the peak hours around midday in North and South America. So I think a lot of people calling it "dead" are checking in the evenings in the US.

Point is, if you miss this game like I did, check the servers around midday, if you're in North or South America. You'll find people. If we get enough people in our timezones playing, we can start filling our NA servers during our prime gaming time.

And for anyone who hasn't tried it, it's fun. It's wacky and chaotic. The videos on the store page do a good job of conveying the gameplay. It's most fun when lots of people on your ship have a mic. For better or worse. There's a mutiny mechanic, so annoying captains don't get to keep the helm.

Most fun with friends. But also an easy game to make friends in.

Plus it's free now. Why not check it out?

What a great game! Teamwork makes the dream work.

it wont let me play

Game was fun for a couple hours when the player count peaked, now it's unfortunately pretty much dead, can't even support one whole server most of the time

well the game is fine, but...... it is buggy and dead. NO UPDATES, PROBLEMS WITH MULTIPLAYER ( sometimes ) - okey forgivable , but the worst thing is.....I DON'T FREAKY KNOW HOW TO UNLOCK HATS AND SKINS IN THIS GAME HOW DOES IT WORK????!?!?!?!?!?!!?!??! Bring some updates and fix some bugs

Good for fun

Not fun at all. Trash as Rust.

Great game but terrible online.

i cant play game anymore its says need to activate some force gfx direct

Blackwake walked so that Sea of Thieves could run

game of the year

This is one of the first games that I ever bought on steam.
It is very unique in the open and casual pirate gameplay provided. There are very few games as casual as this one. There not many players left, but enough to have at least one decently filled server at all time. It is free, so just give it a try.

I bought this game several years ago for dirt cheap. Servers were mostly empty then. Decided to check it out again. Now keeps crashing on launch. Definitely not worth the $1.98 I paid for it.

Great free game! Truly, you will have fun, even if it's just for a minute. Small download and free, give it a shot.

dead games

Good team based game where you play as a pirate crew. Similar to Sea of Thieves but more deathmatch'y

Blackwake lives in our hearts.

YAARRRRRRRRRRR MATEY

Slaps

very buggy and could hardly open, not worth the time

This is such a fun game. Its charming. The ships are diverse. And overall it's an underappreciated gem.

Basically sea of thieves, but shitty unity graphics.
