You know what.... I started this game as something to play to make time go faster in anticipation of my mail coming.... after two days of casual Lobster catching I found my self in Era 2 still waiting for my mail and then then era 3 then four and then trying to get that damn Albino and his gigantic aquatic boyfriend just to find that there are 3 more even harder to find dead lobsters...... After a week or so of streaming this in a random public discord I have been told this game is like: stardew, sims and maple story heck even rune scape but no this is Lobster Empire a game that I got for like 1$ in a humble bundle and a game that after a week of blood sweat and tears and more determination than the ending deserved I find myself glaring at a question mark but also happy that I got this far with the other 4.1% of gamers. p.s my mail is still not here1 found this helpful
DON'T EAT LOBSTERS, THEY ARE MY KIN! DO NOT COOK LOBSTERS, DO NOT BUY LOBSTERS, DO NOT CATCH LOBSTERS! ESPECIALLY DON'T PLAY REALLY ♥♥♥♥♥♥ MOBILE-LOOKING GAMES ABOUT LOBSTERS! AND DO NOT SLANDER ME BY CALLING YOUR GAME "LOBSTER EMPIRE"! I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A TACTICAL RPG RELATED TO THE LOBSTER EMPIRE, BUT NO. IT'S THIS CLICKER CRAP WHERE I DON'T EVEN MAKE A CAMEO!1 found this helpful
Boring! Mobile clicker as some say is really fitting. Business simulation = 0. You are only allowed to have one ship per type. Why? Why not sell the small one and buy a big one? No! Keep small and make it impossible to buy more of the bigger. Crew can level up. Nice! But takes so f...ing long! All is so slow paced. This is also only reason why I got so many hours with this game. I wanted to have it since first announced. Bought in sale, and kept it with the hope it might change... Guess it will never happen... Oh, and worst thing ever! One song in loop! Brainwashing at its best...1 found this helpful
Very basic game
Amazing game!
Lobster Empire is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab. It's a mobile ported business simulator/clicker with a lobster fishing theme, presented in part as a retro pixel JRPG (weird combination). Maybe inspired by Deadliest Catch or some deep seated love of lobsters by the developers, or maybe the boss said he wanted a mobster game and they misheard him and made a lobster game. The game is reasonably sophisticated with a few considerations that you need to make around hiring security, following the law with regards to catch limits (or you can break the law and risk getting fined), as well as XP/advancement system for your staff. You also get weird lobster facts every now and then as you catch rare lobsters. On the flip side, resolution is fixed, the soundtrack is bad, the dialogue is a pretty bad english translation, but the killers are the ugly retro pixel graphics and the insane $14.50 price tag for a mobile game.
