High Sea Saga DX

I like pirate theme they should make a new one.

I’ve been a fan of kairosoft games for a long time, but this one is unplayable. The UI seems to have been built for a mouse/keyboard, including seeing the mouse cursor popping up. This makes navigating the dozens of menus difficult at best and impossible at worst. I requested a refund, but I don’t think that’s possible with Apples rules.

The game is a good game, but there is no cloud save. After uninstalling and reinstalling, all the data is gone.

This game is the one big massive grind. You can tell it was designed with in app purchases in mind. Because of that you’ll run into lots of arbitrary hurdles. Running out of stamina, needing coins, not being able to use or upgrade unit unless you reach a certain fleet level, and on and on and on. The game isn’t long-lasting enough to warrant the hours and hours of grinding needed. To get to the final island, you’ll have to have played for hundreds of hours, which if anything shows the flaws of games based around in app purchases. Now that the in app purchases are gone, you’re left with cool down times, and game that’s way too long and grind than it is fun.

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.
