About Poseidon - Project Dark Sky
Poseidon is a naval war simulation video game and is a precursor to the massive concept of Aegis 2 which is in production.
The game concept for Poseidon is "Navies of the world unite against terrorists who are hell-bent to destroy an oil rig with a classified cargo".
The main objective of the game is to destroy the automated enemy pirate boats by maneuvering the Destroyer, the firing is done by on board AI using the Deck Gun and 2 CIWS Guns mounted at the front and rear of the ship. You also have 4 Seahawk helicopters at your disposal for aerial assault on the pirate boats which give you a larger range and an LHD which is a landing helicopter dock ship on which you can land your chopper for refueling and you have clear audio instructions from the AI in a charismatic voice along with subtitles.
It is a complex, entertaining and visually stunning game that will keep you latched onto your desktop for hours.
The game is very detailed and will be fun to play on high end workstations, so if you think you are up to the challenge and if your gaming rig is high on specification, give it a go.
Note: As of Version 2.7 and above using the quality settings the game can be played on medium end computers too with any medium end graphics card released after the year 2013.

Players praise Poseidon-Project Dark Sky as an underrated gem with impressive attention to detail in its ship, helicopter, and oil platform modeling, noting it offers excellent value for the low price. However, the game suffers from minimal exposure and a small player community, which may limit its discoverability and ongoing support.

I can't help but wonder as to why Poseidon-Project Dark Sky, is practically unknown in the gaming world. The limited amount of feedback's and exposure/publicity confirms this sim omission. Must admit, that I was expecting a bugged out game with a dose of buyer remorse. Thankfully this was not the case at all. I bought PPDS for just a few dollars, and considering the work invested in the game by Developer DP Corp, makes it a true bargain. Very detailed modeling of ships, helicopter, and oil platform with handy wind sock. The oil platform depicts a natural gas big flame burning exhaust. That important flame is for venting excess gases. It is a handy visual reference when landing in the tight quarters of the Helipad. Phalanx Armament (CIWS 3000 rounds per minute) is very impressive, but restricted to auto-fire and aim. No override control when hostile AI is overwhelming. Tomahawk missiles are a sight to behold, but only fire when boat is stationary or at very low speed (on boat), and when ready to launch. Flight behavior of chopper is well rendered, but hampered with only keyboard interaction. You must remember that the I key is engine ignition, and becomes collective up or as…4 found this helpful
