How it feels

A deliberate blend of turn-based planning and real-time execution set against an alternate Civil War naval backdrop.

What players say

This is a simulation-heavy game for hardcore naval history fans only, with no tutorial and a manual you must read. Players praise the AI and the ability to end battles at any time, but note the lack of ship construction, no multiplayer, and a very slow, meditative pace.
