A meticulous, historically-grounded naval simulation where you methodically command ironclad warships in tense, tactical engagements.

What players say
Players warn this is more a digital tabletop game than a conventional video game, with a steep learning curve and no tutorial to help newcomers. The battles are deliberately slow and methodical, and while fans of 19th-century naval warfare praise its historical detail, others find the interface quirky and the experience frustrating without a manual or forum help.
