This game is currently in the Humble Choice for March 2024, and this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before April 2nd, 2024, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
A simulator game. Not being clever that’s what this is.
This is just a highly technical simulator of a Destroyer, where players take on the role of the captain. Players have limited resources to find and sink submarines They can be shot with cannons, but more likely will be sunk with depth charges. Distance, depth, speed, and more have to be taken into account and every little thing is done extremely realistically in a way many players won’t enjoy. Oh wait, that’s the positives of the game. Uh oh.
This is a simulator and that’s fine. However, the graphics especially in the cutscenes feel like they are from the Playstation 2 era. This was released in 2022 or 2023 depending on who you listen to. I was able to pass missions just by ramming the convoys, failing the missions, and potentially “skipping” the failure screen. I get why this game will be fun, but it’s also going to only be fun for a tiny section of gamers.
Pick this up if you want a destroyer simulator. For what it does, it’s not bad, it’s just very few people will want it for what it does. However, I will say I’m going to give this a thumbs up on Steam because for what it’s trying to do, it does extremely well
