Disappointing is an understatement. This game is frustrating as hell, tedious, and anxiety-producing.
I was so excited for this game to come out, waited months for it, and wanted to love it so badly. I'm not sure what I expected but I was told its gameplay resembles fire emblem...but it's nothing of the sort. Not even remotely close.
This is a shitty, low-budget indie battleship game that has somehow managed to make battleship worse and even less enjoyable. Graphics are trash, its mechanics are simple yet feel overly complicated for no reason at all. While simultaneously, I can't help but feel like something is missing from this game. Don't get me started on the fog of war missions. They make me want to end it all.
The worse part is how each mission takes literally f o r e v e r. I've spent hours on a single map, I've had to replay maps like four times to win. Talk about fucking time-consuming...Not to mention alllllllll the times I've restarted turns while still messing up by a single tile or so and needing to restart the whole thing anyway. It doesn't even feel rewarding in any way at all. It's nothing but a slog.
I’ve rage quit the game way too many times and quite frankly I'm surprised I made it to 55 hours of gameplay (completed 1 and about two thirds done with 2). It's extremely anxiety-producing because if you make a single wrong move, you're fcked and will need to restart the map. Oh you moved one of your troops a single square in the wrong place? HAHA LOSER, why don't ya start over and lose the 30-40 min of progress you made. Keep restarting over and over again until you want to fucking jump off a cliff for real.
Yeah the music goes hard but it's hardly redeeming for what a massive headache this game induces. Probably watching paint dry, sitting in L.A. traffic, or going to the DMV will be more fun. HARD PASS from sometime who absolutely loves strategy games. Extremely overly priced at its $60 price tag, what a joke. Good thing this game was gifted to me or I'd be F U M I N G -
V O M I T I N G, S H I T T I N G, and P I S S I N G myself.
Making custom maps and playing multiplayer with friends is, by far, the best aspect of the game. It's no saving grace by any means but at least it makes the game a mid tier multiplayer. But what makes no sense is that you can make maps that support up to four people...but can only play online with one friend though? Makes absolutely no sense that four people cannot play online together. Only two humans and two AI max can play online; playing multiplayer with four humans requires couch co-op. Sigh.
