As a humble survivor in the ruined region of Hightower, you drift between the dry War Zone and Alphaville, chasing rumors that the ultra-wealthy are escaping to Mars.

User Reviews

Highwater shines with a gripping post-apocalyptic story, gorgeous art, and a smart, puzzle-like battle system. The atmosphere is immersive, aided by a strong soundtrack. However, players frequently report bugs and progression-blocking issues, plus some boat/navigation and loot concerns. The ending can feel rushed for some, and others crave deeper combat depth. Overall, a story-driven experience with strong visuals that is hampered by technical rough edges.

Pros

Gripping, well-written story with strong characters and a compelling arc.
Beautiful art style and detailed visuals paired with a memorable original soundtrack.
Smart, puzzle-like turn-based battles that reward planning and allow unlimited retries.
Immersive atmosphere and world-building that make exploration feel rewarding.

Cons

Widespread bugs and stability issues (crashes, save/load problems, chapters failing to load) that block progress.
Boat navigation and UI/UX can be finicky, with awkward controls and navigation hints.
Looting is underwhelming—weapons are scarce and drops feel disappointing.
Ending and pacing can feel rushed or underdeveloped, and combat depth may not satisfy all players.

Recent reviews

I thoroughly enjoyed making my way through the apocalyptic water world with our small band of survivors, and enjoyed the engaging mini-battles along the way. The story arc is great, as is the artwork and the strategy element of the battles is perfectly balanced. Each battle is really a puzzle that can be solved using a selection of abilities and boosts in the correct order, and what makes that great is that because you have unlimited options to restart each battle if you lose , or even if you think you’re going to lose…. This allows you to try a different combination of moves to get you further, until you finally hit on the right combination to unlock the solution and win. It really makes you have to think your way through each battle, but without the stressful rush of other games. The strategic battles have more of a chess like speed to them, whilst moving between them is a peaceful and quite relaxing treasure hunt. Bravo to everyone involved with this, from the artists to the writers to the programmers…Big kudos 🙌🏻
