Ещё кое что из за чего 4 звезды , я решил купить пряности по 70 руб и пере продать за более большую сумму но цена продажи ниже первоначальной стоимости. Спасибо !!!!!!! **Developer response:** Мы ценим ваши положительные отзывы и предложения! В дополнениях вы можете свободно исследовать сушу, а цены на товары колеблются, имитируя рыночную ситуацию. Спасибо, что поделились своими мыслями; надеемся, вы продолжите наслаждаться своим морским путешествием! ### 4/5 — ( major review update ) Good idea to make people want to buy the full game *2026-06-08* First of I want to say the graphics On this game are TOP quality, and the amount of ads makes sense, one thing, the reason most people ( including me ) don’t buy the full game pack is because we have absolutely no clue, sure it tells you how many maps and ships with no ads which is nice, but you don’t show the ships or the maps, a good idea is on the final check in the same Ken that gives you the battleship 1 trophy you can get a special item where you can go into 1 map and you have to do something interesting to be able to get back, or only for a limited amount of time in the new map until you are pulled back to the starter map, and possibly you have to watch an absurd amount of ads like 10 ads to be able to get 1 of those items qnd you can only do it once a week, so you can get the money from the ads and players get to see a sneak peak of the maps. Also, 1 more thing, a while back I was just going through the middle area of the map when I got jumped by 5 pirate vesicles and it actual surprised me and I actually had real fun battling them. I didn’t even know that could happen! Could you make it so depending of how much bad reputation you have with a fraction the bigger the surprise attacks and the more often it happens? For example: if you are at -100 surprise attack by 3 ships mostly xebecs, -200 to -400 3 ships but mostly barks -500 to -800 4 frigates ships. -900 5 ships mostly frigates with 1 battleship 1. I just want to give a shout out to the animation team for a free game and I mean holly molly! I just want to say this is a recommendation from a veteran player who has been playing the game for over 2 years. Thank you! **Developer response:** Thank you for your great feedback! We’re delighted to know you enjoy the game. Your suggestions are valuable, and we will consider them for future improvements. Please continue to enjoy playing! ### 3/5 — Linguagem *2026-06-05* Quero saber por que não tem a legenda português, só tem espanhol nesse jogo, como vou ser um pirata sem entender nada? **Developer response:** We understand the importance of language options and appreciate your suggestion about Portuguese subtitles. Adding new languages takes time, but we'll share your feedback with our developers. Thank you for your support! ### 4/5 — Have to pay *2026-06-04, version 1.7.9* You have to pay for the full game.. I understand that some ships you have to pay but full game: ( ### 2/5 — Fun Game But Super Janky and Unbalanced *2026-06-02* This game needs major revamping. First, the "Order Islands" are super unbalanced. The pirate guns have aimbot. I try to zigzag and they still hit. I try hiding behind objects and sometimes they shoot THROUGH objects. And they do so much damage and there's a ton of them. Clearly you didn't play it or test it to make it fair. It's so frustrating that it almost ruins the game for me cause the stop over quest is nearly impossible when they hit me 90% of the time, and going back to heal just respawns the enemies. Also you need to fix ally ships bombing you after a boarding battle is over. It's been years now, there's no excuse of these things to not be fixed by now. The controls/camera is super janky and it will randomly freak out/throw itself in a random direction. Seriously, fix the issues already! This game is fun but the problems are so major that it ruins the gaming experience. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for the wonderful review and for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We will use that to deliver a better experience next time. ### 3/5 — 陸戦がとても難しい *2026-05-19* ゲーム自体はスマホゲームの中だとよくできてますし、楽しいです。 陸戦は、ドラゴンピストルもって、引き撃ちし続けるシャバイ戦法くらいでしか勝てないくらいかなり難しいけども。 死ねないダークソール。 アーマーやら、剣の強化とか連発銃を用意するとかしてほしいくらい。 **Developer response:** We appreciate your detailed feedback and are glad you enjoy the game. We understand land combat can be challenging and will share your suggestions with the team.

Problem is, I filled all the officer slots beforehand so I don’t think I got her. Is there a way to fix this? I’m curious what her effects are. UPDATE: Just a different captain. Found out when I went to go board a ship. What’s the difference? ### 5/5 — เกมดี *2026-02-24, version 1.7.9* เกมดีมีคุณภาพ ### 5/5 — nice *2026-02-19, version 1.7.9* very fun game for my whole life ever ### 5/5 — Played this growing up *2026-02-03, version 1.7.9* Great game have great memories playing this ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-01-23, version 1.7.9* Love it ### 5/5 — ปรับ fps ไม่ได้ *2026-01-20, version 1.7.9* ไม่มีให้ปรับfps ### 5/5 — A question *2026-01-15, version 1.7.9* I like your game very much and i bought dlc named city？of pirate，so where is my city，how do i find it？Could you give me some advice？Thank you very much！ ### 4/5 — Turkish language *2026-01-12, version 1.7.9* Oyun çok güzel fakat Türkçe dil desteği gerekiyor. The game is great, but it needs Turkish language support. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Пропали покупки!! *2026-07-15* После переустановки пропал весь прогресс и купленные DLC, включая полную версию! **Developer response:** Нам очень жаль, что ваши покупки и прогресс были потеряны после переустановки. Пожалуйста, свяжитесь с нами по адресу support@herocraft.com, указав чек и данные устройства, чтобы мы могли помочь вам восстановить все. ### 1/5 — Terrible fix your game *2026-07-02, version 1.7.9* I can’t be more than two minutes because it crashes I can barely get through the prologue ### 1/5 — Might be a great game… *2026-06-15, version 1.7.9* If it didn’t crash every 30 seconds. I don’t generally give bad reviews, but this is completely unplayable. ### 1/5 — Ads ads ads ads *2026-04-26, version 1.7.9* If you like watching ads over playing the game then look no further than tempest, if you love pirate games then Sea Of Conquest is your game. Yes it used to be pay to win but now you can play without spending any money to have fun and upgrade your ship to compete with big spenders! ### 1/5 — Crash and crash again *2026-03-14, version 1.7.9* Might be a fun game but I can't play it without it crashing every 3 minutes. I have a brand new iPhone 17 Pro Max and yet this crashed 4 times. Uninstall. Waste of time. ### 1/5 — O/10 *2026-01-05, version 1.7.9* It won’t let me in the game I downloaded it and as soon as I hit the game I logged me out ### 1/5 — Graphics *2025-08-26, version 1.7.8* It has a really good graphics according toa mobile game ### 1/5 — В чем разница между премиум и обычной версией *2025-05-04* Уважаемые разработчики, объясните пожалуйста в чем разница между двумя версиями, если обычная версия так же обновляется до премиум или это две разные игры, а так же обновление у премиум было год назад у обычной 7месяцев. Оценку ставлю такую так как не понятно зачем 2 версии.И почему бесплатная версия в два раза больше по весу? **Developer response:** Спасибо за ваш вопрос! Премиум-версия включает все DLC, а стандартная версия обновляется отдельно. Мы передадим ваш отзыв о путанице нашей команде для рассмотрения. Мы ценим вашу поддержку! ### 1/5 — Nope *2025-04-08, version 1.7.8* You are so crippled in so many ways with the free version. You are forced to watch an insane amount of adds. The fighting is just not that fun. Boarding ships is a nightmare you have to run over cannons and places that don’t even have ramps to get to the other ship. It’s honestly a junk game and it really forces you to buy the full game by pressuring you and I hate that. ### 1/5 — garbage, upside down lol *2025-02-27, version 1.7.8* lol... yeah i rebooted it right in the garbage can... first problem i seen is the game is upside down and doesnt rotate so after holding the fone the other way from how i normally play i noticed i cant sail, this lasted 3 minutes before i said screw it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-17, version 1.7.9* Great game honestly had a lot of fun and also graphics are amazing for everything except when your moving your character and also you guys should hat character customization if y’all want and add stuff like events for pirates of the Caribbean like for an example you can get characters from the movie in your crew and add like legendary ships like the black pearl or jackdaw from ac black flag and do like when you hear people talk during battles when you start going into one they can say captain[your name] and I would love to add these in this game it would be a pleasure and I really want a black pearl ship ### 5/5 — Pas de son *2026-07-11* En plaine navigation zéro son et menu pareil veiller réglé ce soucis s’il vous plaît **Developer response:** Thank you for your excellent rating! We acknowledge the sound issue you mentioned and will forward it to our developers for review. We appreciate your support and hope you enjoy playing the game. ### 5/5 — Goat *2026-07-08, version 1.7.9* Hella fun ### 5/5 — Супер *2026-07-04* Интересно ### 5/5 — Qual a diferença para o premium? *2026-04-30* Não entendi a diferença para o premium valer tanto mais??? **Developer response:** Thank you for your question! The full version lets you buy DLCs separately and access all offers. The Premium version includes all DLCs but doesn’t come with coins for buying items. We hope this explanation makes things clearer for you! ### 5/5 — รีวิว *2026-04-20, version 1.7.9* สนุกมาก ### 5/5 — Question about steam *2026-04-05, version 1.7.9* I bought the game on steam.
