What Makes High Seas Hero Stand Out
One day, land vanishes with rising seas. Hunger, illness, and mutants killed 80% of mankind.
You, a survivor, emerge as hero of high seas.
▶ Endless Weapon Upgrades
Engage in tough battles with easy gameplay. Tap to upgrade the weapons with post-apocalyptic technology.
Enjoy a bounty of rewards even while you're AFK.
▶ Defeat Endless Enemies
Defend yourself with full effort from enemies' rain of bullets. Worse still, hundreds of fierce beasts block your way. Take everything possible to boost your power and increase your chances of survival.
▶ Assemble Legendary Crews
Only the fittest can survive the apocalypse. Survivors with unique skills are scattered across the icy world, from naval officers to doctors, engineers, and pilots, all waiting to follow your lead.
▶ Renovate the Cabins
It's not just the enemies that pose a threat—the pervasive cold does too.
You must manage resources carefully to renovate and build cabins, which will protect your crew from harsh environments. Whether to prioritize technological development or crew sustenance is up to you.
▶ Ascend the Warship
Your ship, your rules! Forge your own warship: armored tank, speedy assassin, or powerful battleship.
Also, choose from hundreds of custom looks!
▶ Unite to Survive
Sailing solo is brave, but teamwork is key to thriving. Join forces with fellow sea adventurers, form a powerful alliance, take on formidable bosses together, and stake your claim on the high seas!

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Whenever we go to collect rewards for upgrading our drone (radiant messenger if it helps) we can't collect it. Every time we close the game we have to go and collect it again. Please fix this bug, it would help a lot.
While the PvP battles are fun and challenging, this developer completely over-values their digital content (like most these days). Unless you have many thousands of dollars to dispose of, you will never be a competitive player. It does provide an exciting game experience with the battles, but the majority of the servers are completely dead. You will find that there are no more than 20 active players on a server. We have fought the same servers since they released the PvP battles. They need to merge or this game is not worth downloading.
So we had this game back when it was released. We had a Samsung. And we had 60 million power. We got a new phone and we download it on our new iPhone when we put our Google account in it. We lost all our progress. This was a total bummer and we wish the devs will help this issue.
Not sure why but sometimes the ships, planes, and bosses get a silhouette put over them and even though some of the rooms have surpassed where you can assign a new worker to work in that room they will still not unlock out of the 24 workers we have 3 can only rest because the rooms wont let us assign them to a room.
Five star for free in game item plz.
Its our favourite game now its so funnnnnnnn pls download.
We would like to suggest implamenting an update to the trial of valor in the challenges tab that the challenge gets reset to level 1 every week so we can earn more rewards and upgrade our super chips more easily also we would like to see a auto rally participation for like 8 hours when we are offline.
We loved how adventurous it was very fun the only thing that was bad was a little bit of glitching but its our favorite game.
We have been playing this game for 1hr straight and cant stop! This game has so many enemys that you can go against and so many items you can get and upgrade. 100% recommend this game.
Players at the top in PvP are using hacks to edit in high critical rates and high combo rates without even needing the equipment to get those high numbers. If you pay for anything just know youre paying to fight against players who use hacks and dont have to pay a dime.
This game is awesome. Even if youre f2p theres tons of content you can work on and not feel like you are missing out. Our biggest issue with the game is the servers. If your server starts to lose players you cant switch to a new server and keep your items you lose everything. So if you have spent a lot of money on this game and your server dies which it will. You are out of luck.
Game is good but relies on too many people, cut the people in half and half the problems go away.
If you tastes in a idle game are low and cheap and you dont mind looking through a dozen adds everytime you play them game is actually fun and easy to play one handed and as long as youre part of an active clan you probably wont need to spend money.
It is easy and understandable and we like it because it has forging its really nice.
You guys ruined things when you changed the chip and trove update. Please change it back. What is even the point of the treasure trove.. It will take forever to upgrade those items and the chips too. Its impossible to succeed without increasing those. Please update these essential parts of the game and you will be golden.
This game is so fun that we play in our sleep.
Its a good time passer but its very cluttered and overwhelming.
PLZ READ BEFORE DOWNLOADING! Ive played this game before. Its incredibly boring and its nothing like in the ads or pictures. We cant play for two seconds without getting a thirty second unskippable ad. Then theres the world chat. Its literally an unfiltered chat with every single person in the world who plays. NO FILTER. We got called more racially motivated names Ive ever been called in our life, and Im not even black! Do not download this game unless you want to feel bad about yourself. Go play Clash of Clans or something its one billions times better with no ads. Im not trying to advertise it just telling you that you can choose a better game to play.
Really fun and addicting game. We thought it was just another annoying ad and it is but this ad is awesome. We would highly recommend playing this game. You wont stop playing it. Its really fun.
The game is very fun and addictive.
Games good They really need to change the wording surrounding the prison cell in the cabins, saying youre someones master after capturing them reads super wrong.
No one is. Its dead. Paying for a spot on this list is such bad business. Shame Apple. Shame.
It was fun at first but after over an hour of playing, we noticed we couldnt go 5 seconds without having a pop up. There was so much going on. And too many things to claim or check at once.
Click this and than click that oh click this and click that. Are the reviews real? You dont need to really do anything but click what they tell you to click. Very bland.
Most recent update ruined everything from damage to the treasures. Absolutely do not recommend until these clowns restore it.
This is the one gacha game that Ill recommend to anyone and everyone.
This game becomes more and more of a cash grab each day.
Ive genuinely never played a mobile game so much in our life and im not even that good at it. Kind of pay to win but its still fun even if youre not super competitive.
Personally we think this game is good but there is a slight problem thats been annoying us for some time, the weapon Battle Radiance doesnt exactly do anything even though it says it does, Ive tried different ways to get it to shoot like turning off auto activate and only using its ability but nothing happens, just thought that you all should know when using that certain weapon.
It was pretty addicting for the first couple hours but it became too much. Less is more ig.
We have been playing for almost 4 months and we love the game however, every update affects battle outcome then you have to deal with it for the next week waiting on a update. We do not like the chip aspect at all since its a complete gamble. A player who spends nothing could beat a player who spends almost daily just because of luck. The server died way too quickly. We have just today uninstalled this game due to the fact that a player has 1 stat higher than us and he beats us in every mode. These are the cons, now the pros of the game. Constantly developed to become more user friendly, events are fun, plenty to do to keep you busy. All in all its a good game but until it is fully developed we will find something else.
Sure the game can be a good time killer, but the pay to win model is ridiculous. If youre free to play, youll hit a pretty solid wall where you dont really progress anymore, while your pay to play clan mates far exceed what you can do.
This game uses a subscription model that feels predatory. If it didnt have this model for removing ads we would have been happy to toss them $5 or $10 for the lifetime. Subscription models are an instant delete. If you can get past that, this game has some great elements from the ship compartment upgrades and the skin changes as you upgrade equipment.
We cant get bored of this game.
We got this game just to check something on the App Store and we were gonna delete it but we said why not give it a shot and we tried it and Ive played games like this before and never liked them but something about this we love.
An interesting battleship inspired idle game that combines ship infrastructure with goofy mech battle shenanigans and PvP challenges including guilds to join and battle against. Its a surprisingly DEEP game as far as things to unlock and idly build up over time (time to spend). While some of the things to do are frivolous or silly, the shear deepness of things to do daily is staggering which also includes themed events for in-game prizes. Of course, theres multiple in-game purchases options, but new players will be able to level-up rather quickly for free until the inevitable level plateau is reached. Overall a nice game to play for free that has enough depth to encourage long time play for FREE, plus its cute and ballistic (BOOM!).
We have been playing this game for three months and its a slow moving game after you get to around 30 million attack power, and it gets boring after that.
The game is just like any other in the category but more pay to win. Youll have a super hard time progressing in this game unless you spend $$. Highly recommend other/more developed games. This one need some time to grow more.
There are pay only events. Take that as you will.
Its a fun game, can be kinda addicting to make progress in but once you get towards the mid game you realize how pay to win everything is. All the events (3 or 4 at a time) have just a small portion of rewards available for free with partial challenges you can completely daily while the rest of it is locked behind a premium and extra premium battle pass. They release any mythic items, drones, frigates, navigation and etc. Behind 10 dollars pay wall events that never off an option to get any of the items for free. TLDR: Give daddy company money if you want good stuff in there game.
Lots of things to do, good variety of activities you can find in other PvP type freemium games. But that comes at a cost: we counted 417 phone taps to clear out all the red dots on the screen after the day reset. Thats between all the sales notifications, daily and temporary activities, trying to find shipping targets within our range, setting up our flagship, etc. It gets really tiring to do this day in and day out, especially as many taps beget a tap anywhere to continue follow-up.
This is game is very fun if you are getting bored of the regular games on your phone. Try this one this game is a pleaser.
Perfect game for people who dont have the time to be on a lot and when we have the time to play we get a lot of exp love it.
Its not very engaging or fun tbh, its not poorly designed just not fun.
Was fun for a day then its just waiting on timers after that with brief bouts of gameplay in between.
Tried it out. You spend your entire time staring at and reacting to buttons with no ability to actually watch or participate in gameplay youre just constantly harvesting and building resources. Looks cool, just kind of boring.
An hour into this and there are more than 5 different ways this app has asked for money. They took every dark pattern for mobile gaming and smashed it into what could be an interesting game if they actually let you play it.
Our power keeps going to 50 mil but than it randomly goes down to 48 mil and it doesnt say Im under attack or if someone is attacking us we would like to be able to get our power up bc it feels like it only does when you pay for shi.
Its ok. We didnt get far in it because we lost interest. It also crashed twice on us when we were playing for 5 minutes. Its possibly because Im playing it on an iPod touch but still, not the best game.
Game is fun, but unless you plan on buying every power pack and becoming a 3K member then dont bother installing. Devs and mods take weeks to respond to racism tickets, but if you so much as call someone stupid you get muted for 3 weeks.
