Fleet Commander: Pacific

While I would love to give this title a positive review, I can´t! No updates, no news from the dev or publisher, and worst of ALL, they keep selling the game! If any changes happen any time soon, I will then update this review. Steam should really do something about these EA games with no updates after a silent or more year. It´s just not fair play for us faithful Steam users! Thus no more Avalon Digital games for me!

Unplayable. I cant center the gameboard map on my screen. Absolutely no help in fixing it whatsoever from the Devs,

Lots of good and bad here. It is basically like the old Avalon Hill Victory in the Pacific game. If you liked that game then you would give this one a shot. On the positive side: the graphics are good, the AI is better than I expected (but an experienced player should still always win), there are some improvements over the original game rules, the game ran without crashing. On the negative side: the UI is not particularly intuitive (although after one game, I think I got the handle on it), it did not perform well on my PC (slow), there seemed to be some remaining bugs, it desperately needs an undo button (apologize if I just could not find it). It appears the game is still in BETA mode with no plans to enhance it. So, I guess it is take it or leave it as is. I think it could be a decent game if fixed up a bit further, however.

Fun Game. Avalon Hills Victory in the Pacific brought to the video game platform.

I cant make heads or tails of this one. I will need to read the rules. The tutorial took me through some things I could do, but it didn't clarify much for me. I really love boardgames, and wargames, and naval wargames, but this feels obtuse. I paid $7 and don't think I will get my moneys worth. But, I am also not done trying yet, so I will update if anything changes. Update - Since this is a digital implementation of the Victory in the Pacific boardgame, I read through those rules. It helped a lot. Now, the tutorial makes more sense, and I am starting to get the feel of things after trying the single-turn scenarios a few times to understand the scoring. If you want a thematic boardgame style game - and can find it for a couple of bucks it might be worth it, but I am going to rate it based on the $29 price listed... not worth it.

Fun
