What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
✦ AI summary
Players praise the game as an engaging naval strategy title with substantial depth, many units and scenarios, and challenging AI that delivers classic wargaming appeal. However, the game suffers from significant technical issues including missing files on installation, frequent crashes, and some players find the difficulty extremely punishing with limited options to adjust it.
Bought the game today,downloaded tried to open game but says missing files ive looked on youtube and googled it ,tried everything does not work3 found this helpful
i have been playing this series for years prior to it being on steam and wholeheartedly recommend it as a not too deep panzer-general-esque naval game. There are a lot units, alot of scenarios and relentless ai opponent. I would say that some thing OOB is more historical and wargame which this is leaning more into something like the old Empire deluxe games.1 found this helpful
Quite an endearing game and complexer/deeper than the title would suggest. Unfortunately its prone to crash more than what would be expected. But its fun to play when it works.1 found this helpful
it is ridiculously difficult though. I can't find anyway of altering the levels. Have yet to win a battle. And I oen the first game. so it's not as if I haven't seen the mechanics before.
