An adventure RPG that won the hearts of over 50.000 Steam players is now on your mobile!
App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1127729015

Ropes away, sea-dogs, for a new adventure awaits you! The sun is high on the sky and the wind is strong. You have no country but your ship, no family but your crew, no lord but your own freedom. The sea is waiting for you to explore its hidden depths, uncover its secrets and plunder its treasures.

Focusing primarily on the most exciting elements of being a pirate – captaining your own ship and engaging in intense sea battles – the world of Tempest is set across three vast open world regions for you to discover. You will be able to create, customize and upgrade your sea vessel with different weapons such as cannons, mortars and flamethrowers; and then use it to plunder treasure-laden merchant ships, go cannon-to-cannon with enemy galleons, and storm land based fortresses with your crew. Hire your crew and level them up by completing quests and missions to create the most fearsome cutthroats on the high seas and then use them to board and capture other vessels.

But you won’t face only earthly challenges and opponents, nor all your weapons will be made of steel: sinister disciples of a mysterious cult and fearsome mythical creatures will provide completely different challenges on your travels across the oceans; discover and unleash powerful artifacts such as mystical crystals to escape the enemy’s cannonballs, bring down meteorites from the heavens on to your rivals or summon a giant octopus to your aid!

Are there any plans to update the iOS App.?
It seems that quite some bugs need fixing or better way of handling things in the app in general see e.g.:

"Bugs and more Bugs
by Lungkong89
Spent 100 plus hours on the game. Love it but latest updates results in shutdowns in the middle of the game. 4x in 20 mins. The updated trading is a joke. Developers really need to improve on their quality of testing. Ton of bugs, from poor trading, spinning graphics when battling, unable to complete missions, bad counts on ship cargo, bad layouts of your ship, difficulty knowing ports and locations.

Gameplay tips: Don't waste time trading. Do the missions. Board ships and sell them at ports. That is how you make money and progress. Board the Queen which is a battleship 2 and use that to build your empire. Use each factions gifts when you can.

"Neat but has flaws
When switching to a smaller ship the game forces you to move all your upgrades to the smaller ship. This causes the smaller ship to be overloaded. And if you are not in a port with a warehouse then you have three bad options: switch back, sail overburdened, or sell all your heavy upgrades for pennies on the dollar.

When switching to the smaller ship any surplus crew are just lost.

When you switch back to the larger ship then the surplus crew are not returned. And you have to reconfigure all your upgrades.

These limitations were enough to ruin the game for me.

Developers asked that I waited for the next update, which I just installed. The same things still happen as of 2017 Jul 29
