Surprisingly fun idle game

Dorsal Shores has really kept my interest and attention since the games launch. Pretty easy starting off the game, but later becomes strategically challenging a little bit by figuring out which crew members to assign on a mission based on their skills and experiences. The game is not too in depth, but at the same time it’s easy to learn and has a lot to offer. Btw, make sure to claim your daily gift because a lil money a day goes a long way when recruiting new crew members.

For just only .99 cents you cannot go wrong giving Dorsal Shores a try. The sound effects, music and gameplay has me coming back for more everyday. Sometimes every one, to eight hours based on the duration of a fishing mission.

Great job to the studio that created this game. I bought this on a whim and ended enjoying it more than I thought. 👍🏾
