TouchArcade: After many months of coverage, a soft-launch and a hands-on preview, Seabeard [Free] is finally upon us. When a game gets this much coverage and hype, it’s typically hard for it to satisfy all expectations. This seems to be even more true whenever a game relies on freemium mechanism as a way to monetize. After spending a great deal of time within the game, I’m happy to report that I don’t believe Seabeard is a victim of its own hype but I do think that its freemium system will probably alienate some of its potential player base.
Seabeard is a fun and light game that could be played in short bursts while doing other stuff.
TouchArcade: Regardless of how you might feel about Seabeard’s [Free] freemium tendencies, it’s an incredibly deep game with a lot of content behind it. Unfortunately, a lot of that content requires understanding the intricacies of its timer systems and how it trains players to play the game. The following compiles a few tips and tricks on how to succeed within Seabeard’s system. We talk a little bit about quests before discussing the game’s inventory system, sailing minigames, and even some tips on spending the hard-to-earn pearls.

"Get ready to set sail on the open seas as you explore new lands, create new settlements, and meet all kinds of new people. Seabeard has now arrived on iOS, and offers a simulation adventure from the makers of Rolando. You play as a descendent of the legendary Seabeard tasked with rebuilding the once proud land of Accordia. The game has the definite vibe of Nintendo’s great Animal Crossing as you get to collect new items, meet interesting characters, fish, sell goods, and interact with a lively world. There are differences, and Seabeard doesn’t fully reach all of the features of Animal Crossing, but there sure is a lot to do now on iOS."
