7 Positive User Reviews for Here Be Dragons
So much fun, I just wish there was more.
This game is a blast with its strategic gameplay and its fun lore. I would definitely recommend buying it and trying it out, but I am disappointed that there isn’t anymore to the game such as mini games. I think this game would be so much more if it could have pvp battles or perhaps a way to grow the grow a town through piracy. Overall, a great game, but it is lacking in something more.
A really good strategy game
I would recommend this to people who like strategy games. The characters are good, the game makes you think, and the graphics are nice. It can be very challenging, and if you have bad luck you can be screwed over. But, you can win rather easily at times.
Quite good
You could tell this game had a top-tier board game designer on deck. Red Zero introduces a novel dice-combat mechanic, and then artfully introduces an extensive series of levels, with each one presenting a distinct puzzle. The difficulty curve on Challenging mode is *chef’s kiss*.
You know how in some of those classic tactical RPGs, the introduction of characters and the switching of narrative threads makes the combat feel completely different? Somehow this game captures that feel. It creates a
Challenging but beatable!
I’m a big fan of turn based strategy games, and this one didn’t disappoint. I had to run through the tutorial levels again after a few levels because I didn’t understand the subtleties of salvos and how to keep initiative (hint- sometimes it’s better to not choose a die rather than lose initiative). I beat the game on “Fun” so now I’m playing again on “Challenge”. The dice throws are RNG so replayability is high. I’m glad I downloaded this one!
The dialog is superfluous to game play…
…and coming frequently in short sentences requiring touching to work through dialog that neither humorous nor really pertinent to actual gameplay. After a while it starts feeling like a slot machine mechanics. After about 20 minutes it starts getting annoying with tapping through the pointless dialogs.
Excellent but…
It freezes. I am sure it will be a quick fix though, so it is otherwise an excellent game. The humor is great and the theme is well thought out.

Good effort but broken game
I wish I weren’t saying this, but I’ve reached a point in this game that feels broken. I’m on fun mode and reached sea cones that are just undefeatable. It’s not a challenge, it can’t be done, and if it can then Fun difficulty equals legendary difficulty for this game. Some nice elements here, but the game is broken.
