Game is really fun, lots of variety. But, as a long time Kairosoft player going on well over a decade this game stands out in the length of its primary campaign. The only others with this much replayability are game dev story and dungeon village 2. Really an excellent purchase!
Kairosoft makes many fun games, including high sea saga of which I have been a fan of before. The main problem with this game is that it is easily broken. The original game was built with the idea of in app purchases, because of this there are incredibly high level jumps, starvation of in app currency, and mechanics that make no sense without said in app purchases (egg dyeing, stamina, daily rewards). This means the player will still meet the obstacles made to force the player into either go though the drudgery of grinding, or pay money, without the option of paying money. There is also not much to explore in the game as compared to other Kairosoft titles, but that is a theme spanning most of their new games. Ultimately a fun game, but terribly flawed.
As always, Kairosoft put out a great title with High Sea Saga. The one thing I hate though is the “stamina” system. For a $7 game, I shouldn’t have to wait for stamina to refresh, even if the refresh is pretty quick. My two favorite things about Kairosoft games are that 1) it’s almost impossible to lose and 2) you can play them for hours on end without micro-transactions or adds. Still giving 5 stars though, because Kairosoft is an absolute gem. I buy all of their games without hesitation, and this game is fun.
