A lot like clash of clans . They did however steal the angry bird sound effect ### 4/5 — Good game but one problem *2020-12-26, version 1.20.03* When i have a full team of healers and my big ship the ship will never die and it is full proof but idk why but it automatically retreats and i dont want it to so please remove it and it will be a 5 star ### 4/5 — My review *2020-01-07, version 1.11.04* I think the games great but it could use larger ships you could buy maybe a frigate ### 3/5 — Connection issues *2019-07-24, version 1.11.04* This is honestly one of my favorite games I’ve ever found. But the game fails to load more than half the battles I try to do. So I’m literally stuck just sitting here losing ranks because when I try to battle. They never load. About to stop playing forever cause I basically can’t play it anyway. ### 4/5 — Good, with UI glitches *2019-04-27, version 1.11.04* There are a lot of choices in how to develop and deploy your fleet, and island features. You can maneuver individual ships in battle. You get to pick where your workers spend their time. This makes the game a lot of fun. If there weren’t some glitches in the UI displaying build times, and assigning workers, I’d give it 5 stars instead of 4. ### 3/5 — I want to like this game... *2018-04-20, version 1.11.04* But the stability issues and lack of match ups is really annoying (especially when it costs resources). Maybe 1/3 of the time I actually get partnered up, otherwise it’s just blank. The notifications are annoying, even the in-game ones, and I don’t see an option to turn off “what should I do next” ### 4/5 — Fun rts *2018-01-28, version 1.11.04* I found this game really fun but the only problem is the humor being to childish, but the game was obviously made for a younger demographic. I believe more ships could be added like a big, slow and beefy ship that is good at being in the front line and also have the ability to split the damage other friendly ships take with itself, or a ship that can ram others to push them away from the front line, the biggest thing I want is multiple cannons being able to fire like on the king ship you could turn to its side so the broadside cannons on it could fire, and the second is multiple types of king ships you could unlock in the late game Edit: I forgot to add some things, first an alliance battle when you can attack anyone from the opposite clan and the goal is to attack the alliance turtle ship and defend yours and you get a star for winning, a second star if you did not lose any ships(you should not need to rebuild them should they be sunk) and a third if you win quickly ### 5/5 — Good game, needs a bit more meta game *2017-07-05, version 1.11.04* Great idle/rts. Aside from some balance issues, such as some ships being notably stronger than others, sorcery bluff being useless on T3 spells and mines underperforming lighthouse expeditions by a hilarious margin. Aside from that, the end game becomes a massive grind to complete all research, even ones that don't do much for your build/goals. Adding another tier or two could mitigate this by allowing players to continue being able to make meaningful choices for longer. ### 5/5 — Fun *2017-06-29, version 1.11.04* Fun ### 5/5 — Fun *2017-06-18, version 1.11.04* It's fun ### 5/5 — They fixed it *2017-05-22, version 1.11.04* Thank god they fixed the server I love this game ### 4/5 — Fun...but.... *2017-04-06, version 1.11.04* Its starts out fun then you gotta bust your hump to get gold and mana. Still if you have the time, its worth it. ### 5/5 — Fun *2016-11-18, version 1.11.04* Very early in the game but so far so good. One of the gunner games I've played. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Games appears abandoned *2020-02-25, version 1.20.03* Guilds are filled with people who have not played in years. Touches don’t register on many buildings making play impossible. Perhaps the company has not tested on later versions of iOS? IAC, dead game, stay away. ### 1/5 — Can't start *2017-04-27, version 1.11.04* I've played for a while but now it won't even connect to the servers this has been happening for the past few days ### 1/5 — Really fun, then kinda fun, then boooooooring *2017-02-08, version 1.11.04* The game starts out and is really fun and engaging. After a certain point, however, it's just okay. There comes an unfortunate spot, however, where the balance of the units is not well-thought out and everything results in a stalemate. If someone has two support ships in a battle, there's a perpetual healing that could go on indefinitely...and it does. After a few minutes of this, the computer automatically has you retreat. Once you reach this part of the game, it is...so...indescribably...boring. Ugh. ### 2/5 — Fixable *2019-11-04, version 1.11.04* Started out really fun but now I have a glitch where it gives me several king ships and duplicates ships that I don’t even have anymore. This makes it impossible for me to expand and improve my fleet. Besides this major downside, great game. ### 2/5 — :( *2016-10-13, version 1.11.04* Nice game, terrible servers ### 2/5 — Please help *2016-04-25, version 1.08.094* I got to level 3 and I had to play it about 25 times for it to work and let me advance to the next one. It does this and I'm only on level 6 but my fleet is outstanding and I spent $10 on this game because I though it had started working but it hasn't. It is not my internet. I've tried everywhere with and without wifi. We have about 20mbs because of how we use our internet and it still won't work so it is not the Internet. A few others have had this problem and it's a great game I just want my money back if it isn't going to let me play it anymore and if there isn't a patch soon I will get my money back. It's a great game just please fix this quickly i just sit here and upgrade things until you get it fixed which isn't any fun. Thank you ### 2/5 — DISCONNECT *2016-04-22, version 1.08.094* It would be a great game but I disconnect at least 40 times in a single hour. Also, I have to repeat the same mission 5 times and reload before it counts! Email me when you get it together and I'll give it another shot. The concept is great but it's just to aggravating to try and stay connected. Also, it says it is happening because the game is so successful but that's not correct. It is because you opened it to the whole world without making the proper preparations for that. So just let me know when you do! ### 3/5 — Good game - but buggy *2021-08-25, version 1.20.03* This game has a lot of promise but is buggy. Sometimes when research completes it will not allow you to select the building to select the next research. Restarting usually fixes. There are lighthouse missions where you send your ships out for resources. Whenever I send them on a legendary or rare mission where the reward is diamonds, I never get the diamonds. ### 3/5 — Crappy little game but dear to the heart *2020-02-09, version 1.20.03* Lots of bugs and anomalies, but a game that is truly not pay to win. Was reportedly attacked by this player 2 hours ago whom I added to my friend list and turns out the said player hasn’t logged on for the last 245 days. I guess it’s a zombie or poltergeist or something supernatural at work here. Game crashes often. It will report that your research or build is complete but upon re-login, you’ll discover that they are actually incomplete with a few minutes left to completion. Most players are inactive but you still can find active players if you look hard enough. ### 3/5 — Good game *2020-02-05, version 1.20.03* Love this game but there’s tons of glitches that needs to be fixed. 1 of them is that I bump into an issue where I can’t change another person and the next button is grey and can’t change and once I switch to another nothing happens and can’t attack. Another is when I wanna keep researching my workers don’t work after placing them and sometimes the research timer doesn’t pop up. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Put Text Here. *2023-01-19, version 1.20.03* This game is never gonna get a new update ### 5/5 — Good game *2020-12-19, version 1.20.03* Very fun ### 5/5 — cool *2020-04-29, version 1.20.03* Highly underrated game ### 5/5 — Pretty good! *2020-03-22, version 1.20.03* I like to play it all the time I wonder how long it took to make great game play today ### 5/5 — Australian bush fires? *2020-01-09, version 1.11.04* Is this just a game about how Australia caught on fire and Koalas had to live other places so they made boats and landed on islands and started war? ### 5/5 — This game *2019-04-23, version 1.11.04* This game has fury little animals in sea boats. THIS IS A Awesome APP. ### 5/5 — Ahoy *2019-04-06, version 1.11.04* Fast paced ### 5/5 — Attack after Attack *2018-10-30, version 1.11.04* Simple game, build island, attack ships. The best part is you can just keep attacking, and attacking .....as long as your ships live. No down time, no building time, just attack. Love it ### 5/5 — Fun *2018-04-20, version 1.11.04* It’s so fun I play it for hours I love it please add more updates! ### 5/5 — Good Game *2017-10-29, version 1.11.04* It's pretty fun to see the ships battle you can even name them! And also you can name your workers overall 10/10 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
