  1. [R2] High Seas Hero 4/5 · US Cool game: I liked the ship to plane combat mechanics especially when they had the same mechanic
  2. [R3] High Seas Hero 3/5 · US A joke: Nothing to any of it. Is too easy like the app has another use other than entertainment. Probably data mining
  3. [R5] High Seas Hero 5/5 · US depends: it is fun to play and quality is good
  4. [R6] High Seas Hero 3/5 · US Meh: It’s ok, it’s fun for a while but gets super boring and repetitive- like most games of this type. Not worth spending a dime on it though.
  5. [R4] High Seas Hero 1/5 · US Cash grab: Don’t get into this game. It’s fun the first maybe half a day to day. Then the only way to get power is by spending an ungodly amount of money. It’s a cash grab
  6. [R7] High Seas Hero 1/5 · US Volatile economy and misleading: Played this game for a year and gave the devs a chance. Lots of breaking changes especially for players who invested money. I would be wary of putting too much effort into this game if you’re a new player
  7. [R10] High Seas Hero 1/5 · US READ THIS!: Are you looking for a game to waste your entire pay check on? A game where everything you can do in one day takes 10 seconds and you don’t get stronger once so ever unless you spend 1000s of dollars? Play this game then. The top guilds are players using mommy and daddies money, and you can’t fight them unless you also spend a bunch of money. These types of games need be thrown into a p
  8. [R36] High Seas Hero 1/5 · US Pay to Win, Slot machine, AI Slop Scam: Another one of those “kingdom” games. You either take the micro-transactions route, spend ALL your money for maybe showing in the top 50 of the server for a week; Or you take the grind route, clicking button, spinning wheels over and over, until a player/bot 10x stronger than you, decides they don’t like you and vaporizes your base into oblivion within minut
  9. [R1] High Seas Hero 1/5 · US Game is now unsupported: Company delisted game from their official website, they are instead focusing on Kingshot and Whiteout Survival. The company moderators have been absent for months. No more weekly gift codes. No more updates or news of updates. Complete silence. Same tired in game events recycled over and over. The game is obviously in maintenance mode.
  10. [R21] High Seas Hero 3/5 · GB Average game.: The release of new content is extremely slow, The odds on things like weapon and hero rolls are just completely untrue. Something at a 0.02% roll rate. Means it should drop 20 in every 1000 rolls. I’ve had items I’ve rolled 16,000 times and not get a single one. That’s not rng at that point it’s just a lie. I also dislike the fact this game is basically a hidden RTS game when the st
  11. [R26] High Seas Hero 1/5 · US They have forgotten us.: The devs of this game have completely given up on it. All they have done is nerf premium content once players have spent money. The majority of servers are dead, and they’ve done NOTHING to create a merger. They use AI for support so don’t expect an actual response. It’s sad really because a lot of people loved this game.
  12. [R30] High Seas Hero 1/5 · US New update: I forgot to update the game, and now I have been logged out of my account and can’t log back in. So I’m disappointed cause u had alot of things on my account, I really wish I could get it back.
  13. [R8] High Seas Hero 5/5 · US Best game ever: I play on server 311 and I just wanna say best game ever only fun when u are locked in you can get good without spending money.. btw shoutout to (Dome) domain breakers. Best guild in the world
  14. [R39] High Seas Hero 5/5 · US Fun Game: Great game! Very interactive especially if you are in a great guild, everyone’s super helpful and the UI is easy to understand. There’s always something to do with all the content the devs push out!
  15. [R47] High Seas Hero 5/5 · US Great game: I started this game to pass the time needed something to entertain myself with. It’s become a bit more than just a game some cool people a lot of tasks. The guilds are fun to be part of. The only downside a lot of the events and items seem to be cash grabs you don’t need to buy it all though be wise. I don’t see anything wrong with spending money on a game. If it entertains you and i
  16. [R49] High Seas Hero 5/5 · US Fun game, great community: If the concept of spending time building an account, this game is for you. The game takes a little bit to grasp the nuances, so I suggest getting into a guild that will advise you on how to get stronger. The community is the best part of the game.
  17. [R15] High Seas Hero 3/5 · US Way too Overstimulating: I played this game maybe a year ago, and i thought it was fun. I played it again recently and it’s just so many popups, not from ads, but from just so many things coming out. It gets so annoying to try and do everything at once. Feels more like a chore than a funny getaway.
  18. [R18] High Seas Hero 3/5 · US Okay: It’s a fine idle app. Two main complaints. They have way to many menus and each different one has rewards hidden away so you feel the need to open every page. Second, that annoying glove used to tell you where to click next NEVER GOES AWAY. It’s driving me crazy. I am almost about to delete the app because I’m sick of seeing that glove relentlessly tell me to tap somewhere I already know to
  19. [R69] Misty Continent 3/5 · US i want to like this game: but even when i mute all the sound settings in it - it’s the dominate app and i can’t listen to music or the tv or whatever else while i have my headphones on. no one wants to listen to the endless loop of game music and ill likely uninstall this because of it. silence or nothing? no thanks.
  20. [R61] Misty Continent 1/5 · US Worthless game: Don’t waste your time with this game or any other from this developer unless you plan on ponying up at minimum $1000. This is just a game by developers out take as much money out of your pocket. You’ll never catch up to the top players
  21. [R103] Misty Continent 1/5 · US Cash grab: The only real way to succeed is to pay tons and tons of money. This is not a game for casual players, as the players that do spend money will dominate the world. Also, every kingdom dies with inactivity, and it makes kingdom vs kingdom events impossible. Don’t bother with this game unless you have thousands of dollars to spend and enjoy paying to win.
  22. [R70] Misty Continent 1/5 · US A Game in Decline: I don’t usually leave 1-star reviews, but at this point it feels justified. Players deserve better! The game feels like it’s slowly dying. Updates are becoming less frequent, and when new content does arrive, it’s often geared toward big spenders rather than improving the overall experience for everyone. The gap between paying players and the rest of the community continues to
  23. [R76] Misty Continent 1/5 · US …….: I have played this game for nearly 500 days in a row and you know what? Recently I have had THE WORST customer support experience in my ENTIRE LIFE, being gaslighted in at least 3 different ways throughout my ticket,; the most ridiculous of which was when they meerly set my ticket to automatically close at the same time requesting my patience. I kindly respond with, you know hello, saying I
  24. [R12] High Seas Hero 3/5 · US Endless upgrading: Do you like endlessly upgrading stuff? Do you like tapping your screen a lot? Do you like not feeling accomplished ever? Like the days work is never fully complete? Do you like a game where you don’t actually play a game? Then this is the game for you!
  25. [R13] High Seas Hero 1/5 · US Click bait game: Looks like it would be similar to those bunker games and that’s what made me interested. But it’s literally just a clicking simulator with battle ships in the background. Like someone else here said, it’s literally just pressing ‘forge’ over and over I’m so tired of these guild games pretending they are something else.
  26. [R28] High Seas Hero 1/5 · US Trash: There is nothing saving this game. Played maybe 10 minutes. Absolute dumpster fire. Forge, repeat, forge repeat. This game is so trash. End of story.
  27. [R66] Misty Continent 3/5 · US Misty Continent: It’s very slow moving game so far. Guess it’s gonna build everything up before it gets better. We’ll see.
