It’s all systems go from today for diehard Oceans & Empires fans thanks to Joycity’s latest update to the game, which makes building up the best maritime fleet and exploring rich islands more exciting than ever.

Free to download now on iOS and Android, new challenges now await in the form of many new sea monsters this time levelled between 31 and 33 to keep players on their toes. However fear not captain, although the beasts are now more viscous than ever, the new update also ups the max castle level cap from 30 to 32, keeping battles balanced and fair.

Sure to raise the odd seadog’s eye-patch or two, there’s even a new ship to seek out in the form of a new tier 13 Vulcan vessel, which when acquired places the odds of dominating your foes firmly in your favour. What good’s a captain’s ship without a crew to fill it with? Thankfully this is where the new tier 11 ‘Sword Master’ troops come in, just make sure they float rather than sink.

It’s not just a fresh lick of paint on the surface however, Joycity has also seen it fit to merge the game’s servers together in threes in the attempt to improve Oceans & Empires online stability in this grand update. Now nothing can stand in your way of becoming the undisputed ruler of the ocean.

Oceans & Empires’ fresh update is available to download on both Android and iOS from today, so be prepared to set sail and claim victory all over again. Your maritime fleet awaits.
