I really, really wanted to like this game, but I cannot recommend it to other players...yet. I'm a U.S. Navy veteran, a student of military history, a life long gamer and I have probably purchased every non-arcade, realistic type, naval video game released...even the terrible ones, so I have some understanding of the subject. I'll touch on the bad first. After attempting for almost four hours just to learn the basics of how to play it, I largely failed. The manual is minimal at best and is largely unhelpful. The English needs major editing and redone in many areas. There are numerous typos, incorrect use of words, poor selection of words to indicate what buttons are for, etc. The controls are confusing and poorly designed, and I felt like I was actually fighting those more than the enemy ships. Same with the windows and how they operate within the game. This is a matter of taste, but, visually, I also dislike the blue, poorly imaged turrets and the huge round cannon balls. This really detracts from an already visually limited game. Much better, more accurate, representations of turrets can be accomplished at the resolution you are using. I hope this is something that is just transitional, but we'll see. There is more, but that's all I'll touch on at the moment. Ok, for the good...well...it is a serious naval game that gives you both a strategic and a tactic component. I did have some fun with the Battle of the River Platte inspired scenario, but struggled with the controls with even a single ship, so... I think the game has serious potential, and with some work can become a very enjoyable game for us naval buffs, but it needs a lotta, lotta work. It is currently still in it's alpha state imo, and really shouldn't have been released yet without more play testing and development. I considered asking for a refund, but decided to stick it out and see how things develop. I'll offer my assistance to the developers, including editing of the English used, modification of game play, play testing, etc. (for free) if they are interested.

Poorly translated UI, frequent crashes and buggy interactions with everything from shipdrawing to combat. I played for 54 minutes and encountered all this. I'm sure it has potential, but at the moment I simply cannot recommend it.
Looks like every shot fired hits the target even when zoomed in. Guns reload instantly? Unlimited ammo. Needs shell splash's. Crashed to the desktop over and over, froze a few times as well. Has potential but not at the moment. A very confusing campaign. I use to play Great Naval battles on Dos so Im not new to this type of game. This game need a lot of work and bug fixing. Refunded.
I am enjoying the game very much so far. I've only played historical battles but will tackle the campaign game soon. The graphics, as they stand now, are good if minimal. The interface is very user friendly and make the game flow smoothly. Battles are exciting to watch and the overall fun of the game is high. I like the addition of period radio. The developer is very responsive and will be improving the game in the months ahead. Highly recommended.
Otra obra maestra del abandono y de un cuentista que ha sacado los cuartos y se ha fugado. Hace más de dos años que no actualiza y eso que está en EA. Estos tíos tenían que tener un contrato de esclavitud con Steam si no cumplen con su obligación, al estilo del antiguo Derecho de Roma.
I like the game very much so far. It is run smoothly, no crashes, no bugs and no problem with installing it on my computer. The price is just the right price to help the makers of this game keep going with a great product. The game is graphically simple not messy and easy to navigate. I have played battles, campaign and used shipyard so far. I have enjoyed to watch Campaign in CPU vs CPU mode and play in campaign battles. The in-game encyclopedia is very engaging too. The game has a beautiful period graphic design (and radio) and very detailed after-action battle maps and reports which show a tracing of courses and engagements of forces involved and ships hits and damaged. This game is a must-have for the naval enthusiast, with deep modelling of ship systems, weather conditions, visibility and gunnery. Recommended for those who like an authentic naval simulation in the style of Command or Rule the Waves. Certainly great value for the low price!
整體感覺很類似以前的Great Naval Battles系列, 以二戰大西洋爲主的海戰游戲。 跟rule the waves系列比,這款的單艦傷害表現比較詳細,有進水造成傾斜跟排水隔離等之類的模擬。 玩法主要就單場戰鬥跟戰役,目前内容陽春,未來作者說會慢慢完善他,同時可能加入飛機或其他東西。 跟RTW比,他的戰役是即時的,不是一回合一個月,然後可以自己排TF航行的點跟編隊,RTW則是抽象的護航任務,運輸船破壞任務跟隨機發生的海軍艦隊戰鬥。 其實這各有優缺,RTW是從另一個一戰艦炮游戲改來的,那游戲本身只有戰術模式,RTW則是加上戰略模式,但戰略玩法部分比較抽象一些,RTW是要模擬那種大部分的海軍艦隊戰都不是計劃好的那種概念 (但RTW電腦給你編的隊有時候異常腦殘),所以才搞隨機。 同時RTW有非常簡單的指揮體系模擬(讀作不需要微操),戰術時間單位最小也是1分鐘,所以路綫跟這款差不少。 整體上來説這款走比較細緻的路綫,但微操也相對多,不用擔心,沒有要玩家當什麽炮長炮手,看著各種觀測資料瘋狂的轉著計算器的拉把調整輸入射擊solution的那種程度,基本上這游戲還是多艦模擬,而非單艦。 但有個別炮塔瞄準個別敵人(炮塔那邊選SEP)或是全部炮塔全部集火(TOG)大概是這種程度的微操, 如果作者能好好完成他,未來有潛力。 可是...這操作界面真的非常需要改進。 很多東西可以用更簡單的方式操作但卻用很麻煩的方式操作,加上不知道是什麽原因,他的界面到我的電腦被拉的有點奇怪的長度。游戲裏面的隊形編隊是在每一個艦的艦橋那裏選的,選你要跟哪一個船的屁股,然後用什麽方式跟,他就會盡量照著那個模式去走。名字是黃色的是沒有跟屁股的(通常就隊形旗艦),白色的是跟人屁股的。跟RTW一樣,我不知道爲什麽這些游戲都用選單式搞這種這麽微操的東西, 做成圖形界面,像是電路面包板那樣的界面給玩家拉OOB拉來拉去去排成一個有順序的隊伍不好嗎? 有滑鼠這種東西,就多用用面包板拖移鏈接的操控界面,而不要用這種像是win95時代的選單... 用這種選單式的設計,你有多少船就拉多少次選單,非常煩悶。 不然就是支持純鍵盤操作,反正拜托不要再强迫玩家用滑鼠去”精準的拉選單裏面的文字“這種又累又煩的行爲。 如果你要玩這種游戲,特別是未來的戰役模式,就要有心理準備,界面可能不會很好。 戰役模式上面那個訊息窗可以拉上去,把他拉小,讓地圖變大(這到底什麽腦殘設計,一開始地圖這麽小,我不知道可以拉,就那樣眼睛脫窗玩了一陣子...) 整體上來説,目前戰役模式的完成度非常低(初期船艦OOB設定都是錯的,明顯是測試階段),操作也很死,不建議現在玩戰役模式。戰鬥模式倒是很不錯。 他戰鬥結束后的那個地圖航綫跟交戰報告非常好,可以讓玩家一目瞭然的知道到底交戰過程是怎麽樣。 逐步進水傾斜的情況也還可以。 但還是希望能把各地方的裝甲厚度更模擬出來,像是炮塔不同面的裝甲這種。 現在内容算是偏少,所以這價格現在買划不划算就看人了。 如果不是對海軍大艦巨炮很有興趣的人,不推薦。 但如果是喜歡大艦巨炮的人,近年可以玩的海戰游戲不多(那幾個課金游戲我不太想算...),跟大艦巨炮有関的更是少, 這款未來可能會是還不錯的大艦巨炮游戲,但目前完成度真的不太夠,基本上目前不推薦入手,雖然他戰鬥模式其實做的不錯了,但真的太多有待琢磨的地方。 然後...我比較想要前無畏級,題材目前只設定在二戰大西洋(作者似乎說未來會有太平洋)有點可惜。
No updates. Looks like it will never get past Early Access. Developer (used to ) keep saying things were getting done. HA!
Development has stopped on this title, unfortunately. It showed promise.
So i have just been in the shipyard and so far so good, there are some hmmmms in this game, but that is just because this is a pre release. I can already tell the foundation of this game is very strong. I'll update as I explore more about the game. this actually is more of the title says simulation, from the ground up. the price is just the right price to help the makers of this game keep going with a great product.
