How it feels

Commanding fleets of steam-era warships in a tense, historically-inspired standoff feels methodical and pressure-filled.

What players say

Players say there is almost nothing to do beyond steering ships, with no damage control, formation control, or battle summaries. The AI is hard to kill and the one scenario plays nearly the same from both sides. Some call it a demo-length money grab, while a few enjoy the simple premise.
