About Highwater
Highwater is a whimsical, 3D adventure game with an isometric turn-based puzzle-combat system set in a flooded, post-apocalyptic world. Navigate by boat, discover islands, find new allies to help battle foes, and experience a humorous tale about friendship in this melancholic and atmospheric escape.
Amid the Great Climate Catastrophe, the flooded region of Hightower has become a kind of safe zone between the two dry regions: the nearly global ravaged land of the War Zone, and the fortified city of Alphaville, where the ultra-rich live behind giant walls.
With life on Earth becoming untenable for humans, and rumors of an escape to Mars floating around, Nikos begins a risky journey, picking up friends along the way. First to Hightower, then beyond to cross the impenetrable border of Alphaville, battling insurgents and stealing food along the way. Will Nikos and his friends manage to sneak onto the rocket in time?
Earth may be flooded, but it’s one heck of a view on the water. With a sense of humor, determination, and some great tunes, Nikos and friends will work together to explore the water-filled environment around them and embark on an adventure to evacuate to Mars and start a new life.
Float along the vast waterways freely in your boat and explore the many different islands of a beautiful world where you’ll encounter danger, interact with fellow citizens, gather resources, and fight for a chance to escape to a new life.
Take on your enemies in a classic turn-based combat system where careful tactics and puzzle solving will help you come out alive. Interact with the environment and items around you: knock down a tree, push a shopping cart into an enemy, or duck behind a turned over car to gain the advantage.
The world may be ending, but there's still time to enjoy some good tunes. As you cruise along the water, Highwater Pirate Radio is the key source not only of unique and original music, but also for commentary on your ticket to survival.

Probably not worth your time. Not mine, at least.11 found this helpful
Personally I'd rate it second after Golf Club Nostalgia and better than The Cub. Though all 3 games in this "Trilogy" are quite unique from each other, so take it with a grain of salt. Just recommending, cause I feel it deserves more than 44 reviews with a mixed reception.3 found this helpful
Great experience for a person like me who loves both turn based combat and "the world is under water and dying" kind of games. I just wish the boat sections were more "open worldish".. Regardless, enjoyed it a lot. :)1 found this helpful
One of my favorites in a great series (The Cub , Nostalgia Golf) This third edition was exactly what I need it to explore Alphaville and complete the story. I have finished it 3 time so far and everytime I learn something more to the story. NOW the only question is what happwns in TESLA City next....... hint hint make the 4th one lol
could listen to that radio all day long!!!!
This game actually has some really cool ideas unfortunately it's a bad game. Being a gamer has honestly allowed me to respect peoples work even though I don't like it because making a good game really is not easy and as a result I appreciate them more. Firstly, the scenary is extremely bland so it serves no purpose. Since there is nothing to see driving around in your boat feels like a chore. I found the combat boring, like nothing about it felt unique or fun and I'm a guy who love turn base games. I really wanted to finish this game. However, I won't be able to play through this game.
