Games fine, but i cant get passed the insulting DEI insertions. My father fought and served on an aircraft carrier and died in a wheel chair. If he seen this game he would be pissed. For me as a disabled person, i just find the pandering disgusting. I play video games to get away from this ♥♥♥♥. not be reminded that im ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up.
This is the single most ridiculous Ship game I've ever played with somehow the best gameplay, every time I think i'm at the end another even more nonsensical thing happens, this is like Ace combat Meets Wattpad I love it.
It's a neat game but at one point you have to fight inside what is essentially a "building" and its obvious they didnt playtest it at all. The game just falls apart and the buggy glitchy behaviour makes the mission essentially uncompletable.
I can recommend the game...however I can also bemoan that my mind was kicked out of the experience quickly, and my suspension of disbelief and enjoyment never occurred. I know that it's a mental difference that's on my end alone, but between the Warship Gunner games and this...both WS 1 and 2 are better to me. Maybe spending hundreds of hours in Warship Gunner 2 has spoiled me, but while thought and care went into Waves of Steel, for me it falls short at every step. I found I disliked the characters, the story, even menu navigation quickly, and the active gameplay threw out any chance at fun I could have had. I feel bad for typing this out...but even as I remember my short experience, it's leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Sorry. In short: Good game, very taste dependent.
This was a fun and silly game. The story was okay and the animation bits in between missions is okay enough, but people are playing for the silliness of the next bigger and badder enemy with a bigger gun. You can make some truly crazy ships in this game and I'm all for that. The game isn't optimized nor run well enough on the Steam Deck which is a little dissappointing because the game is pretty low poly and seems very much up the alley for playing on something like the Steam Deck, but you cant have everything.
This game just kind of sucks. there is potential, but its riddled with issues, and it really doesn't feel fun at all. the campaign is so dry and uneventful, the enemies are bland, and overall the game is just a disappointment. A few others noticed the on the nose diversity inclusions, and its true. the devs obviously wanted one of every kind of disability and minority to be a "main" actor in the game, and it really is comically obvious the lengths they went to for that. Its like a parody of DEI in the navy almost. (side note, they went to extreme lengths for this portrayal in everything except for actually having a decent artist make the sprites, for that i think even stick figures would have done better.) Ship Builder is cool, but honestly Ultimate Admirals Dreadnoughts just does the same things this does but better. 0/10. Boring and ugly game.
Verdadeiro sucessor espiritual de Warship Gunner de PS2. Sentia saudade deste tipo de jogo de navios, exagerados, cheio de armas e que você pudesse distribuir o quanto de armas quisesse em seu navio só se limitando a espaço e peso. Tu pode dar um ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ drift e cambalhota com navio, encher ele de misseis, e o melhor de tudo é ativar o tiro automático, deixando sua seu navio uma verdadeira maquina de batalha.
Honestly, absolutely hilarious and I love it. It's unapologetic about what kind of game it is and the characters are also really fun.
Honestly, a surprisingly little gem It may looked graphically very subpar, a little half cooked on many aspects, but it is just fun You wanna design the most sick or improbable vessel to ever set sail? You can, the ship editor is quite simple (even too much, forget about symmetry, some hull and parts have weird little issues), a couple of modder created a few pack to add some variety (I was tired to have the classic US double 5inch on every ship) Maybe the progression and parts unlock needed a couple of minute in the oven, but it's fine. Maybe some weapons are a little too weird.... but wait to look a the boss.. I just loved how the creator just went more and more bananas going on in the late levels! Plus work great on the Deck, perfect if you wanna kill 10 minutes mindless
If you, like me, were waiting literal decades for Warship Gunner 3 - you've found it.
