It would be cool when you finish each stronghold (reach level 10), to be able to continue to make coins from those strongholds and see peoples attacks of them with whatever power level you had at the time being a similar level to those who attack. I’d love to have 5 different places to collect money from and have each base matter. I’m also currently on the third base, which in theory, has a max storage space of 20,000 coins, since the previous level 10 base had a cap of 19,800. When I upgraded I think it’s a mistake that it actually brought my storage capacity down all the way to 2,000, forgetting a zero in the upgrade. In order for me to get the value out of the base I’ve poured hundreds of thousands of coins into, I’d have to log in every 30 minutes to collect these coins. That doesn’t seem very fair, and as someone who logs in twice or 3 times a day, I can assume I’ve lost a few hundred thousand coins in the week that I’ve had this base, with no way to go back. It’s also not worth upgrading anymore if it’s lost %90 of its value. I hope to see this fixed and the idea of the base expanded on soon, because I enjoy this game, and I’d hate to lose motivation for a part of the game I love, just because someone forgot a zero. ### 4/5 — Joli jeu, mon avis a évolué en mieux *2026-05-30* Ma critique principale était sur la notion de pay-to-win, en fait on arrive à l’éviter en comprenant bien les match making et les ligues dans lesquelles il ne faut pas progresser trop vite. Au bout du compte je conseille ce jeu très bien réalisé, prenant et le système de clan est pour le moment très sympa aussi. Aux développeurs de maintenir cet équilibre entre le ptw et le ftp aux niveaux supérieurs. Les événements variés sont bien pensés. Continuez :-) **Developer response:** Thanks for your detailed feedback! Progression without spending money is possible through daily rewards and challenges. We understand your concerns about balance and are working to improve fairness. We appreciate your input and hope future updates enhance your experience. ### 2/5 — Супер донатная игра *2026-04-19* Был под большим впечатлением от игры, давно искал игру нормальную с корабликами. Сразу же купил отказ от рекламы за ~1700руб, но оказалось, он всего лишь на 30 дней, после чего реклама снова включилась. Дальше больше - оказалось, что полэкрана занимают различные рекламные предложения от 6000руб. Задумка хорошая, графика хорошая, плохой баланс и супер дорогой донат **Developer response:** Мы ценим ваши отзывы и понимаем ваши опасения по поводу ценообразования и баланса. Мы регулярно проводим распродажи и специальные предложения, но поделимся вашими мыслями с командой. Надеемся, что будущие обновления улучшат ваш опыт игры в наших пиратских водах! ### 2/5 — Has potential *2026-04-11, version 1.41* The game is really fun but once you get to pvp it’s fun for a little then you start getting destroyed by people 10-30 levels higher than you using units you can’t even get close to using then even worse once you lose you have to wait 5- 15mins for your ship to be repaired so I was like I get the ad pass to avoid that little did I know they limit it’s used on one of the most important parts so be warn if spending any money you will get destroyed by a whale and have to wait more time then Playing ### 4/5 — Обновление убило интерес *2026-03-19* Все вроде классно было, почти докачался до 45ур. Но вышло обновление, в котором полностью поменяли звук боя, теперь это что то шипящее, иногда стреляющее из винтовки и где то на дальнем плане звуки пушек. От прошлой озвучки мне хотелось в бой заходить. С новой, забросил игру **Developer response:** Мы ценим ваши отзывы и понимаем, что новые звуки боя повлияли на ваше удовольствие от игры. Мы поделимся вашими замечаниями с нашими разработчиками, чтобы улучшить игру. Спасибо за игру, и надеемся, что будущие обновления снова подарят вам массу положительных эмоций! ### 1/5 — Was good at first now can’t play *2026-02-26, version 1.39.1* All of a sudden it loads super slow takes 2 minutes to load a battle what happened? ### 2/5 — Fun game but rarely works *2026-02-24, version 1.39.1* Started playing this game because it looks fun but whenever I try to log back into the game says network issue, I go play another game that requires internet and it works well. Keeps telling me check my internet connection. I’m good, this game is just out of wack ### 3/5 — Bon jeu mais… *2026-01-11* Ce jeu est très bon, mais il aurait pu être encore meilleur si les combats étaient beaucoup mieux équilibrés. Tomber sur un joueur avec des troupes max en début de jeu c’est très bof.. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We understand the concerns about battle balance and strive to improve fairness for all players. Your input helps us make the game better. We hope upcoming updates will enhance your experience on the seas! ### 2/5 — Pay to Win *2026-01-01, version 1.38.1* Good game except for the fact every ship you buy for real money completely destroys any other ship in the game. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2025-12-20, version 1.37.2* Is fun to play at first, but even if you spend real money to get an upgraded ship, they continually pair you up with people 10 levels higher with more powerful ship so that you have to keep spending money to pick weaker opponents or repair your ship money, hungry, developers, here, done, giving them any money ### 4/5 — Ranked is broken *2025-12-19, version 1.37.2* Ok so hear me out in the 100-300 trophy league which is the first and second one outside of the starting to the ranked ladder, I should not be fighting again a lvl 45 who decided to have a small ship with the best units in the game on deck so me trying to fight again people my lvl and ships I end up losing a lot of trophies because I get this same guy 4 times back to back. Or if I one win away from getting my 5th win chest a lvl 45 shows up and just wrecks me ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless customer service *2026-07-18, version 1.43.4* Playing the game for about 2 to 3 months now first month started off good but then the game started to crash over and over again. When I reached out to customer service for assistance they don’t care at all about helping. there is an easy fix to fix it, but they refused to do it. ### 1/5 — Move on *2026-06-23, version 1.43* This game is super boring. Only 2 things to do and lazy events here and there that have been in the same loop for so long. Don’t buy anything especially battle pass it’s the same 3 on loop. I think the creators were just lazy and even with their new clan’s update is just pure trash and again lazy. The creator is just awful ### 1/5 — 意味不明 *2026-06-02* 攻撃速度が相手と違い過ぎるし、レベルの差とか関係無い 船の積載に規制がある様子だが、対戦相手規制以上じゃ？と言うのも多々ある。 他の方も書いていましたが、オートマッチ・オートバトルで、勝てないマッチをされてるとしか思えない。 **Developer response:** We regret the issues you're facing with battle speed and matchmaking. These concerns are important to us. Please send details with your game UID to support@herocraft.com so our team can investigate and help improve your gameplay experience. ### 1/5 — Не обманывайтесь *2026-05-20* Игра с самого начала даст вам понять что вы есть. Дадут погонять донатный кораблик на пару боев, который имеет щупальца кракена которые сносят обычные корабли за Голду в ноль и заберут предложив купить) стоит говорить что после этого играть нет смысла?) Вы проиграете не по тому что донатеры сильно прокачанны, вы проиграете по тому что все корабли которые вам доступны, плавучий мусор. Дополню после недели игры. Ваша честность это ложь причем абсурдная. Мой топовый галеон в 5тысяч мощи вообще ничего не может сделать донатному в 2 тысячи))) **Developer response:** Спасибо, что поделились своими опасениями. Прогресс возможен и без траты денег, благодаря ежедневным наградам и заданиям. Мы стремимся к тому, чтобы игра была честной и интересной для всех, и ценим ваши отзывы, которые помогают нам улучшать игровой процесс. ### 1/5 — Purchased season pass *2026-04-29, version 1.41* Purchased season pass deal and game stopped loading. What’s happening here. ### 1/5 — Matchmaking is a JOKE *2026-04-25, version 1.41* Let’s have people play a game where you load in and on every 5th battle in a row you get matched with level 42 players at level 15 really makes so much sense you guys are really good at making the game fair and balanced🤣🤣🤣 ### 1/5 — Игра *2026-04-23* Игра загажена рекламой и донатом **Developer response:** Мы понимаем, что реклама и покупки могут вызывать разочарование. Реклама поддерживает игру и делает её бесплатной, но её можно отключить при любой покупке. Спасибо за ваши отзывы; мы постоянно работаем над улучшением игрового процесса для всех игроков. ### 1/5 — Frequent crashes *2026-04-12, version 1.41* Crashes every 5th fight or so, if I used anything g I actually purchased it’s lost. Play, but don’t pay for anything cause you’ll just lose it in a crash ### 1/5 — 金返せ！ *2026-03-20* 1000円分の課金をPayPayで支払いました。実際は4130円の支払いになってました。 問い合わせも全部ロシア語で全く分からないし運営どうにかしてください。 これは詐欺です！！ **Developer response:** We're sorry for the trouble with your purchase. Please email support@herocraft.com with details and a screenshot of your receipt so we can assist you promptly. Your satisfaction is important to us! ### 1/5 — Problem connection *2026-03-10, version 1.39.4* The game is not connecting to the server for the last two days and can’t be access!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-25, version 1.44* It’s a very fun game ### 5/5 — Все понравилось *2026-08-03* Хорошая игра **Developer response:** Мы благодарны за вашу замечательную оценку!

Thanks for supporting the game and appreciating the balanced ad experience.

Took a break and came back only to be impressed by everything added. I truly enjoy this game and the unique mechanics of the game. One thing that turns me away from games is the pay to win features. But this game allows players to grind long term and be competitive with those who pay. ### 5/5 — Hay *2025-12-28* Hay ### 5/5 — One of a kind *2025-12-05* This is actually one of the first games that I have played since a very long time that is one of a kind and not just a copy of a different game with different visuals **Developer response:** We appreciate your amazing feedback! It's great to hear you find our game truly unique. Thank you for joining us on this special adventure—there's much more excitement to come! ### 5/5 — Good *2025-11-29, version 1.37* Good --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
