What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Rule the Waves 3 is widely praised as the best naval design and strategy game available, offering deep simulation for players interested in detailed fleet management and naval warfare across campaigns. However, players consistently note that the interface is clunky and unintuitive, with various bugs including non-functional hotkeys and confusing design validation errors that contradict the game's own options.
From what I've played and am aware of, this is currently the best naval design game out there. Not the best naval game, not the best naval designer, but the best naval design game amongst the admittedly slim competition that tries both. That said, I wish I could do more with my spreadsheet simulator. That's about the long and short of it when I reflect on this game after 140+ hours and several campaigns. Everything is clunky is and unintuitive.

I don't quite know why they've decided to forbid 0.5" armour, as both 0" and 1" armour are fine, along with every 0.5" increment after 1" (i.e. 1.5", 2", 2.5" ect...). I would also think that the options for 0.5" armour should just be removed from the possible selection otherwise. - The only way to view the performance of a calibre in the designer is to select it as the primary armament of the ship. If you wish to compare two differe…1 found this helpful
i love killing italy as hungary
The best naval warfare game for the true strategist. Period.
DO NOT PRESS RESIGN TO QUIT THE GAME. This locks your save and makes it very difficult to recover. other than that, this game is honestly really fun :3
Been playing since Rule the Waves 2, an essential game for any autistic naval enjoyer like myself
Near perfection for nerds of this type, If you are contemplating buying it after seeing how it looks, it's probably for you.
