Community Insight:
Be best pirate app game open world.
Our favorite mobile game, Ive been playing it on and off for years, but at this point it definitely needs a sequel. 5 stars.
We love this game, probably one of the Kairosoft games we replay the most. Im shocked by the reviews, its really fun and we wish Kairosoft would make more island exploring/battle/equiptment hunting games like this.
Its amazing and underrated you gotta try this game.
Game loads indefinitely and is unplayable.
You all are still avid developers and that amazes us so… Love your games and hope to see more.
Try High Sea Saga and search for the ID "637677776" to find us.
We played this game when we a bit younger and loved it. We had just re found it as we were looking threw old games we had. Still love it to this day. Thanks for making this game devs.
Load it for an hour and didnt work. Tried all the tips from the website. The game is great though.
The terms were enough to make us immediately delete this game.
We had 500 medals that we spent a lot of money for and didnt get the achievement from the king. We have since spent most of those medals not realizing that we didnt get the achievement. We want the relic from the achievement but Im not spending more money when we already had 500 medals.
We absolutely adore this game, but it definitely could have better online play , we have been in and off for multiple years we loveeee it. But a sequel could do it justice because you can only play for so long (we mean we expect this with a rpg) but a more intriguing pvp experience would be very interesting. Also the ads are a little much when its not even a beta game , like we would definitely pay for an advanced version.
In total, Ive probably played this game for around 80 hours. Unfortunately, something happened to our phone so we had to restart it and lose all our apps. We had a lot of progress with High Sea Saga, so we were just hoping for another game like this or a place where you can log in on HSS so if you switch devices, your progress will be the same. The first time we played this game was on an android phone, then on this iPhone. Its a great game, but a third time playing from the beginning is kinda tiring. So Im not going to redownload it, but thats only because Im pretty frustrated that we lost everything. Hope something similar to this comes out.
Like we do like the game but the online isnt good like we just started and we keep on changing our opponent but all we get is a pro player like we want to fight beginners not high level pros so fix it.
The game we pretty good but we did one of the actions to get extra medals and after playing the stupid game we didnt get the reward. No in game way to contact developers either.
Dont even press that download button we did a wrong choice to download it it is a f* up game.
All this game does is an advertisement farm and doesnt allow you to play without WiFi enabled. Cant even play on a road trip and grind, the game is a fun game without this bs.
If you dislike IAP games, don't bother, it's another generic model. If you're ok with over exaggerated stamina bars, freemium currency, and ads, should keep you busy for a good while. We'll keep our eyes open for the paid Kairosoft games we've been playing for years, and love. Won't be holding our breath, though, given the state of mobile gaming. Also, the always connected to the internet thing turns the whole experience into a clunky, laggy mess.
This game is a huge success in our book.it contains so many things to do!Although the game some times crashes and auto saving would be nice this game is AWESOME!!plus we use an iPod 5 so it would work better on phones.
We were loving this game for a good 6 months grinding away mindlessly and racking up tons of gold coins everyday with our gold pass that was $9.99. Now in the last update it was taken off and the restore button is useless like other users have seen. Kairosoft can you correct this and we'll be more than happy to bump this up to 5 stars.
As a big fan of Kairosoft's games, we love this game. We guess we will keep playing it for the next several months, since there are lots of different day bonuses. But after the lastest update, our VIP and no add purchase are gone. And the restore doesn't work. Pl fix.
After the most recent update, the game lost all our purchase info (no ads, gold upgrade), and the 'restore' button does not restore our purchases despite saying it did. Prior to that, was enjoying the game, but releasing a fix that costs customers the money they've spent isn't a good move.
Hello. We love your games and have a new game idea. We sent you a review suggesting a airport game on World Cruise Story. We don't know if you accepted it but we hope you accept this one. Anyway. You rock and we have a game that might be cool. Museum Story! Ok we admit it might seem lame but it might be fun. Build and expand your own historic museum! Attract customers by advertising! You should also be able to build cool Exhibits.
Yes this one has in app purchases but they are absolutely not needed to progress in the game. There is so much to do in this game that your stamina builds back up while you are doing other things. Love the quest/customize/upgrade//job switch etc. This game has the best of everything from the other games. P.S. If you really can't wait for stamina to build when you start off, just buy one pack of 100 medals one time and use them to refill stamina when you run out. This way your stamina cap goes up because your rank goes up and by the time you run out of medals (we still haven't), you have enough max stamina to pretty much never run out.
Most depth out of any the games we played. The gameplay is fun, quirky and has a ton of replay value.
Your games are amazing we love them we've played your games sense they first came out and they are just so fun!!!!!!!! But we have one problem! Please make you games cheaper:/ it's so hard to get your products because they are anywhere from 3$ to 6$ and we don't have that kind of money since we're only 14 years old.
Running much smoother, thanks for the update.
We wish you would make it so we could get our account from our old phone and cross platform it. Because we spent over 300 hours on this game and even enjoyed it enough to buy a gold pass our second play through. But we got a new phone and can't use our old account. If you fixed that we think a lot of people would be happy. We even wrote down the jobs and what they can wear and max level for each one we were so addicted but stopped because we got a new phone.
We have really enjoyed this game. Great graphics and adventure. Coins come easy. Our issue is with tapjoy; the method to earn more coins. Waste of time. They do not issue rewards. Boo.
HEY KAIROSOFT!!! We just had a great idea and HAD to share it. How about you guys make a Zoo Sim/Management Game!?! You could keep all of the research for different animals and animal stables/pens, you could have food research, you could have little kiddie stations like rides (for example a pony ride or unicorn ride to be creative) and stations for kids and adults. We just thought it would be a GREAT game for you guys to test out for sure! Please consider this. -From a loyal fan/customer.
So we have been having a blast with this game! But.. It glitches at times doing certain things.. We are on an iPhone 7 plus, running the newest iOS, and we got our first person to level 20, which is a rarely speed up attack speed skill, and we cannot add it to her squares. So we cannot actually add it. Also, having an issue sending any other group to a dungeon.. The check mark is stuck on the top group, and cannot switch.. Hopefully you can fix this! Other than that, amazing game! Can't wait to get further into it.
We've been enjoying the game a lot ever since we got it, tolerating all the annoying bugs because we found it fun even when they were present. However, just a few minutes ago, we finished a campaign to hunt a huge number of Machbats, but didn't get the reward for it. Everything else in the game acted like we got it. Graviton 2 showed up in our monster list and it said "acquired" on the campaign list, but it's not in our crew list or in our ship at all. We're very disappointed.
THIS GAME IS AWESOME!!! When we first looked at the title we knew that this game would be the best game we've ever played it had everything that we would've wanted in a game Dragons Battles AWESOMENESS.
We had to update our review. They updated the game and it actually loads now! Great game, fun and addicting. Thanks for the update.
Keep crashing when ship battle T.T fix plzzzz.
The island complete bug was fixed but now the problem is worst it keeps crashing we want to play like last week with no problems.
The gameplay is fun and addicting, the atmosphere is a little better, the writing and scripts, translated to English, are decent (for Japanese game developers, or just one), and etc… But there's one thing that made the game barely unplayable: It crashes every time we're challenging with another player; we're completing/conquering a neighbor island; or even when we're completing a quest and getting the loot we found from the quest. We hope the developer(s) would notice these reviews and actually resolving these issues. Nevertheless, it's a great game.
When we first beat neighboring islands quests (all of it) it would keep crashing when it says we completed it. Could you fix it? We really love this game.
Since the last update it crashes when you clear a section of the map.
Its a great game. Its an amazing pirate rpg, its "free", Its got a job system and pets that evolve. Its what we've always dreamed for in a game, though all it would need is for the job system to be more of a job tree like final fantasy and for the battle system to be turn based strategy. The game is also really long and diverse though we wish it wasn't so difficult in terms of constantly having to grind our character. Other than that its great, except for one teensy problem. The ads. There like torture for us since every time they pop up which is like every time we start up the game or after a while of playing we have to reload the game because we cant close it since the x is too small and in the corner of the screen. Thanks to this we have lost progress a couple of times, though not by much. Please fix this its getting out of hand.
We absolutely love this game. It's everything we want in a mobile game. For people who are looking for a clash of clans kind of game; this isn't that kind of game. The mechanics are great, and it's overall very balanced. It's not a game that you'll get bored of after 3 days, it's got TONS of content. We haven't found any bugs or glitches. We really recommend this game for anyone, and to the developers: Please keep on adding to this game! It's amazing.
Maybe for your next game you could make it a Japanese superhero game, with giant combining robots, weapons with cool gimmicks, and maybe even a super base.
We love the game. We wish it would let us play after we get off the first time. We have an IPhone 5c.
We own nearly all the Kairosoft games, and while we enjoyed this; it got really old very fast. Some games have so much playability, but this one is more or less the same thing over and over.
Please fix tapjoy. It never works for us.
We keep doing online battles and looking for islands and we keep get defeat by over powered people and we had enough with it that we never downloadeding a kirosoft if a YouTuber makes a video a good one that he said don't get it or not so we say don't get this game because at rank 20 players will Attack you so don't get this game so don't listen to people with 5 stars say get this game so no no offense but it bad game.
Kairosoft used to make good games but their new "free" games are absolutely awful.
Can not wait for the next very fun game.
Out of all of these games, this might be our favorite one. This game is SO addicting, everything about this game is right, the humor is great, the gameplay is perfect and fun, and battling other ships is a great time waster. We have some ideas and suggestions. 1. All of your crew members should be able to fight when battling other ships. This we'll make more intense and easier for newer players. 2. More needs to be added to the main storyline, some new countries, more towns would add so much more to the game. 3. We need more classes. It'll be cool to see a cannon be taken down by a single crew member, or to have a crows nest to spot more ships (NPC and Online players). 4. This is one that we've been thing about this one. We should be able to join friends and other people and have a war of sorts. Like clans, we could have an epic 12 v 12 battle. 5. There should be 2 different ways to fight other ships, one way is the way that is already in the game, the second one should be cannons only, this'll make cannons more useful and have more of a point in the game. This is how it should work: Each ship we have a health bar, (Bigger ships have more health) each ship fires at each other. Snipers would take control of the cannons, Gunmans would be able to shot there gun at enemy cannons, and a new crew member should make the cannons fire faster. That's all we have in ours, Bye.
We really love kairosoft games! We've played them all! Please, give your fans more games like this! (No mall or forniture games please!).
