About This Game

Lobster Empire is a game in which you build up your own lobster business, developing better fishing techniques and ways to create long-lasting and profitable lobster resources.

Your story as a lobster businessman in this game:

  • Era I-Lobster Fishing: Catching the lobsters will be the first step in your business, some of them offering plain currency while the rarer ones give/offer research points that will assist you in kick-starting your lobster empire.
  • Era II-Breeding/Hatching begins: Breeding/Hatching begins: Grow your lobsters in a hatchery system and breed your best strain of lobster to carry your growing empire.
  • Era III-Expanding your business: Your market is getting bigger; you're gaining more resources and renown so it’s time to expand: Build your restaurant to serve those well-bred lobsters, move your empire into shirts and toys in your very own merchandise shop and take the next step to going worldwide.
  • Era IV-Research and Innovation: Now that you have the base of your empire worked out it’s time to delve into the unknown, build up the Lobster Academy and boost your production even more with new inventions.
  • Era V-?: You'll have to find out/ It's a secret.

Features:

  • Send your team to catch lobsters using your fleet of ships, each with their own unique ability.
  • Explore new islands and waters to find rarer breeds of lobsters by purchasing a commercial license, but beware of the dangers of the sea as storms and obstacles might hit you when you least expect them.
  • Recruit lobstermen all with their unique stats for durability, stamina, law obedience, mechanical competence, sea-instinct, and navigation skill.
  • Catch a wide range of rare lobsters in different areas and increase your research points by finding blue, yellow, calico, split-colored, albino and giant lobsters.
  • Use a variety of fishing equipment to gain more profit like the smart lobster trap, the weather radar, and the secret map.
  • Upgrade your ship's equipment to improve the amount of lobsters caught and ship efficiency.
    Research and develop tools to minimize lobster mortality and improve the hatchery system to sustain your lobster population.
  • Increase your profit through other business venues like the sea-food restaurant, the merchandise shop, the lobster sea world, and others.
  • Host events like ship races, cooking contests and others to sky-rocket your business's popularity.

This game plays like a mobile clicker, not a strategy simulation game. For the first hour, you're left with nothing to do but click on a boat every minute or so. If you continue, it's advertised to have more content, however, it takes too long with boring clicker mechanics to get there. Additionally, the late game appears to be functionally the same. If you are looking for a clicker, I still think there'd be better, more rewarding options.

long story short - nearly all the reviews are pre-update. I haven't noticed any bug until now and the game itself is something between okay and good. The release with the bugs wasn't lucky, but it now seems as the game would be really bad which simply it isn't.

This a good little game it had a few bugs that are now fixed needs some added content to keep me going on it but one thing I'm guessing was over looked was the size of the lobster (824 inches long) that would make them 68 foot plus in size and would need godzilla to harvest them not a small boat =)

I think this game has been unfairly reviewed, but I have to agree that there are many bugs with the game but this game is not a clicker at all, the start is very slow but once you get your second boat and more crew you become much more involved i am almost finish era 1 and it does pickup a lot but for now I would suggest waiting before buying this, I encountered 3 game breaking bugs. I am sure this will be fixed in the upcoming patch, it is playable but these bugs will frustrate you so wait for it to be fix. I am leaving a positive review because I can see myself enjoying this game once everything works

So here is my review for the game. I have only played 30 minutes to know that this is not a great game (played till I furfilled the first goal, 20.000 gold). - The sprites used for the characters are just ugly. I love pixel art and this game just did it wrong. - Back ground art looks meh and lazy - There is 1 ''song'' that keeps repeating itself which is really annoying to listen to - The text font is just terrible to read - You literally click on a boat, choose which 2 will operate it, choose map, randomly put a pointer on a specific piece of ocean and hope for the best. - There is no explanation as to where you have a higher change of finding more lobsters and the circles make no sense - After you have set all for the boat trip you just look at your screen and wait - I do not know why you would hire more people to work for you when only 2 can get on the boat - Gameplay is just boring. I thought this would be a bit of a management game, so you set out the route for the boat ...

***Updated review....I refunded again! I repurchased this game at the devs request after the last update. I don't see any improvement at all. Forget the awful music/sound effects and the super cringy dialog. This game has no strategy to it. There is no upgrading boat parts and buying gear for fishing....you just simply click some buttons to start a mission then a weather event may pop up and you have 2 options like go through the storm or go around and waste fuel and then thats about the end of the mission, you get some xp and some random amount of crabs. I seen that Game Dev Tycoon was an inspiration for this game, both games cost the same but this game is not even close to the depth and content that Game Dev Tycoon has. .....And who in the world speaks like characters in this game??? Remove all the dialog and start over with it, find a better story with believable english. Immersion killing..... original review: I had been following this game forever and was so...

Buggy. They delayed the game for months because they were fixing bugs so that their beta tester will rate them higher. I got to the 3rd or so "mission" and the game started to bug out. People would not complete the sailing trip, the exp screen freezes blank, no useful tooltips, everything glitched to the point where the game froze. I tried to load the save and it gets worse. You get all of the ! popups and if you click on any one of them, it freezes your game. The only redeeming factor of the game was that the concept was cute.

I was very dissapointed in this game. I was really excited to buy this game and felt like it would be a fun money making strategy game. However for the hour I attempted playing the game it continued to bug out and freeze this made the game unplayable and with its already kind of boring game play of just sending ships out and waiting for them return. I had to ask for a refund because i was not even able to play this game with the one ship that you send out bugging and never coming back in.
