Navy Field 2 : Conqueror of the Ocean

Great concept of a game, terrible game company, terrible administration, terrible execution. No team play, no balance, no end game goals, terrible support, poor game dynamics. Navyfield was able to run for 10 years, despite their managers (Game Developers and Company Management) doing everything they could in order to make it fail. Up to this day they make the worse decisions ever and out of the blue they are nuking their most loyal players from the game without any sort of explanation. You just have to check what is going on with Navyfield to get a feeling of what you will go through with Navyfield 2. Players who have purchased subscription and items are being removed from the game without breaking any rules and are losing all what they have invested. This fabulous concept has turned into a scam to lure people into giving money only to be removed from the game days later without any possibility of getting their hard earned money back. It is a South Korean company run by North Korean mentality. I suggest you stay far far far away from all this. The game is not worth the drama and terrible customer support you will undoubtedly go through while playing with this game company. Seriously, don't even think about playing this game. NF2 is just a money scam.

Wasnt sure at first if this would be better than NF1 though I highly doubt it. Thing is, it just doesnt matter. [b]The game [u]has[/u] P2W elements. I dont know why the other reviews say no P2W.[/b] (they obviously didn't check the shop/they think no sane person would purchase them when thats not true for people with jobs) [u]Few examples:[/u] %5 less reload time with ingame credits. %10 less reload time with real money. Theirs different types of this like repair rate ect. On top of that they all weigh less on your ship as well. (less decreased speed on gold purchased upgrades) PLUS: [u]They stack up[/u] as well on your ship. Morale boosts with real money so you can make sure you are having close to 100% of your sailor stats or you can easily go negative or just not reach there without a grind of wins. Also you can get gold officers which start with +31 of a specific stat. Ingame credit officers start with all 1 stats and will most likely cap out without the 31 bonus that gold officers get only. Theres just no excuse for having this type of monetization. Should of kept it to skins and premium time. Do you really want to support P2W features and have it snowball back to style like in previous Korean games?

Okay, I thought this game was bad because of steam reviews. But the game isnt bad at all. Sure the graphics are a bit outdated, but graphics dont make the game. And it really is a free to play. I didnt have to go to my wallet for any boosts or buying ships. The game has factions of WW2: USA, Japan, England, and Germany. It has all kinds of ships. battleships, destroyers, aircraft carriers, light and heavy cruisers. Even heroic ships, the USS Nevada, Duke of Wellington i think it was, and the legendary Bismark. Now this game is very easy to learn and get into really quickly. You can work your way to your first battleship in less than a hour. Now the gameplay itself focuses on two sides:alpha and bravo. Each side has a flagship, so losing the flagship is like losing the queen piece in chess. And once you die, you die. So there is a ton of strategy depending on your role. On the bad side, ugh took too long to make an account, and if you're new, you will die a lot, but least you get good points and xp. And when it rains, totally screws up your LoS sometimes. And the submarines will take sometime to master. Overall, it's not bad as the people say it was, you should check it out. Good luck and have fun.

What could have been a good game, has turned into a piece of garbage. It is deffinatly a PAY TO WIN game, that non wallet warriors have little chance of success. It seems like it is following every other cash grab games plan. The game play is interesting enough, but the science fiction that it incorporates is VERY dissapointing...I still cant get over how games can scew up HISTORY....This one is no different......a few examples. 1. teleporting of ships....REALLY??? 2. Desrtoyers (wallet warrior) that can take 8 Long lance torpedo hits (most Destroyers could not survive 1 LOL) 3. Landing Craft that can outrun a Light Cruiser with armor to rival a Cruiser (they look like PT boats they are so fast) Then we can get into the downtime of the game as of late...not good, with them changing their minds like their underwear on issues they are trying to "fix"....ends up WORSE! I gave it 3 weeks of play before writing this review to be fair....Just fyi. I had really hoped for it to be better.

Fun game, arcade style combat isn't what I like but, overall I approve. Tons of ships to play, nice game design with base capturing, seems very balanced. The balance part is good and bad I think, My first game I sunk a BB with the starter dinghy, which seemed like it should be impossible, but was fun. Plenty of P2W items, but limited item slots so P2W gets a small bonus that others cannot get, this is the games biggest negative. All the p2w items have double the bonus of the ingame currency version. Elite $ crew get 30% bonus compared to currency version. The 2nd biggest negative, no tooltips or some other mechanic explaining what everything does, and the menu is poorly designed; it can be hard to figure out what exactly items do , how to equip them etc. Without testing you don't know if there are caps in place for crew skills etc (does it help to have 3 max lvl repairers, or does it cap at 1 repairer? who knows...)

First, I am not going to compare this game to what will (or might be) WoWS, or the WT version of naval battles, as those are different games with a different aproach. I will try to give an objective review of the game and not its competition. Second, I won't review balance, or what I think are temporary issues. The developer is fairly reactive and each weekly patch brings a lot to the game in my opinion. There are still issues, but I judge a game by its fun and its potential. Pros: - Gameplay is fun. Very fun. It is fast paced, team-based, strategic, and skill and positioning are a huge part of the game. You'll never get bored during a game. Guaranteed. Too much to do and think about. - Gameplay is varied. Playing a BB (Battleship), a DD (Destroyer), a CV (Aircraft Carrier) or a SS (Submarine) is very different, so that you can add variety to your gameplay from one game to the other or just find your playstyle. Each ship has its role (even 2 CLs can have very different roles depending on their loadout). You constantly switch between weapons (guns, torps, planes, mines, depth charges, AA, ...) and try to make the most out of it while navigating your ship. Significantly different maps. Game is surprisingly deep. - Beginning progression is very fast so you can get any class of ship within hours, and then you have to invest your time to get the top tiers. They just boosted permanently XP and credit gain by 2 and 1.5 respectively, for everyone. - Game makes it in a way that a tier I can take out a tier VII if played correctly/smartly. Very rewarding. - NOT Pay 2 Win. Premium account gives you the usual XP and Credit boost for faster progression. Some real money items give increased (temporary) stats in game but to the order of 10% max; which is definitely overcome by skill and teamplay. It is more P2W than games with a pure cosmetic cash shop, but I strongly believe the advantages are not significant. - Developer is its own publisher/editor, on this instance of the game, which means faster development cycle and patches. - Easy game to get into (simple basic controls, basic goals, immediate action, ...) ... Cons: - ... but difficult to actually understand. Poor documentation and tutorials forces you to discover things by yourself, or ask the community, to understand better how to play. Community is decent and people will answer your questions. This problem sometimes leads to frustration, but it is rewarding to get to know the game better. Lots of "Eureka" moments. - Linked to the above, but the game has its quirks, ie some unintuitive stuff from controls to interface. You get used to it after a few hours. - "Korean grind" game. You will 100's of similar games (but never the same). - Graphics and effects are outdated - historically inaccurate

I'll keep this short and simple, this is a game that comes on from a great legacy in Navy Field. Navy Field was a game which rewarded skill and practice, learning angles, timing torpedo runs, hiding from the enemy fleet as a submarine. It was a truly fun if a time consuming game. Each ship had a role and they all worked as a combined unit Navy field 2 is none of that, its too arcadey. Ships are far too agile with Battleships easily turning and slotting through torpedo runs when turning in them should be a large effort, they act more like Destroyers in Navy Field than Battleships. On top of this you have Carriers, all ways fun in Navy Field as they were strong but any ship which could slip in could kill them easy and submarines were there bane but in this they are pretty much freexp, torpedo planes can drop and arm torpedo's from 2 meters and this makes Dive Bombers pointless and fighters are not worth the time as they cannot kill Torpedo planes before they drop there Torp run. Overall if you want an Arcade warship game then turn to World of Warships or Battlestations: Pacific, if you want a fun Sim type navy game then try Navy Field but this tries to be both and succeeds at neither

Ive played this game alot, the only thing worse than the matchmaking is the lack of teamwork that leads to spending 15 minutes in a battle to literally get nothing but a repair bill. Its an interesting game that i did actually enjoy a bit until the player base expanded more. The community is becoming very toxic with little to no moderation and as others have said, it is extremely easy to win with your wallet. the tutorials and menus are terrible but once you get the figured out its not so bad, alot of the text and tooltips are severly lacking and sometimes are just an outright lie (some ship add ons say you cant have miltiple and others say nothing about it until you try to use it and then can only sell it back for half price). I was using this as a relaxing time waster but now its just a lesson in futility.
