High Seas Hero: Dig & Build

It pains me to give this game a bad review, but it’s gone downhill. This was once an amazing game, it was fun, made a lot of great friends, and never felt pressured to spend money on anything. Then the devs did what most do, and ignored their player community. Every update sets the game back, it’s driven servers to wastelands with no one left, and everything costs money. You used to be able to compete and stay at the top without spending any money, this is impossible now, and there’s not even a little difference in power, there’s a lot to where you have zero chance to play PvP or advance in the campaign. Strategy and builds are so unbalanced now, stats make no sense, and what works for someone else may not work for you….even if you have all the same stuff. My advice to any new player, just don’t play it. They continue to update the game, and make it worse, and everything they change makes everything you have built seemingly useless unless you spend more money. I don’t even mean a little money, I mean a paychecks worth of items you need to rebuild your fleet, even then, you’ll still be way behind. BUT if you want an unbalanced game and endless cash to invest, you’ll still may just have a good time, just be prepared to eventually be in an empty server with no one to play with, leaving you alone with your $20,000 fleet and more updates for you to flush your investment down the drain.

Very fun game when you are in the number 1 guild in your server. I’m top 5 in my server and the top 20-50 are in the same guild. The reason being is that spenders are rewarded more by being in the same guild. Guild member interactions are fun and the main thing keeping me hooked in the game, along with the discord community. However this leads to the top guild destroying the server, because you have the best players in 1 guild and even then the balancing of pvp allows a higher leved player decimate a whole guild aka 1v80. For example a lvl 25 base is capable of fighting off 80 players that have lvl 21 bases. The cons are mainly the bugs, there are so many you can write a book. I recommend joining the discord, just to scratch the surface on how many. The dev team have made a good effort in correcting bugs recently, but there is just so many that it is hard to catch with the pace of fixing bugs and releasing new content. Management needs to have devs focus on fixing a lot of bugs, but currently are very clearly focused on prioritizing money over a quality game. Also the dev team is facing waves of chargebacks from spenders and lose the claims, because they are essentially selling you an apple, then when you receive the apple, it’s spoiled. Overall: Really great foundation of a game design, but the way it is being managed is leading it to be a dying game.

Very satisfied with how well the devs respond to surveys and reviews so far. I noticed that world chat has been changing over the last few days. It’s really annoying that words get censored out that shouldn’t be censored at all. I understand this isn’t necessarily an adults game. But the majority of people playing this game are adults from my experience. It would be great to have two separate world chats. One for kids under the age of 18 and one for adults that has to verify your age because we talk about a lot of stuff and joke around a lot. My entire guild and all the guilds we talk to are full of adults. Majority of us dont want the chat to be censored so much and we have issues with that. We dont want this game to be so hard to communicate freely because words aren’t being understood. That is my one issue so far. So please think about it, that would be a great feature for the grown ups and adults who put so much time and money into the game. Another thing. Would also be great to see more ship ascensions into bigger longer naval ships such as ones the military uses to give it a more realistic feel as well as being able to add more weapons and perks than what is currently allowed so that maximum damage output can be achieved as well as looking awesome while taking down enemies. Thanks for reading!

I recently downloaded High Seas Hero and began playing immediately. The game starts with minimal explanation, which made it a bit challenging to understand initially. However, once I familiarized myself with the mechanics, I found it to be quite straightforward and enjoyable. Additionally, the music enhances the overall experience. The music is awesome and adds to the experience! I love that there are no random ads popping up, and it doesn’t feel pay-to-win, which is a huge plus. There are tons of things to collect, which can get a little confusing, but it keeps the gameplay interesting. Just when you think you’ve figured it all out, there’s more to discover! The only thing I’m not a big fan of is the live chat being right there while I play—it’s a little distracting. But overall, this game is super addicting, and I’ll definitely be playing it a lot!
