Bad game
Bad dev

Only has one campaign and all the others are locked behind extremely expensive DLC.

2021 update: I tried this with mods see if it saves it no. no it doesn't I don't suggest this game at all it hasn't improved at all over the 2-3 years avoid this.

In the games current state I cannot recommend this game at it's full price for the price of 56$A the game doesn't feel worth it. I got this for 28$ retail with the original game which I gave to a friend.

The game feels very low quality ship modals look okay water is great lighting is amazing, but everything else is just ugly and really breaks me out of the game. Plane modals look really bad and out of scale, buildings as well are just very out of scale and ugly. Islands look flat and boring I wouldn't care if they were 2D or just copy and paste 3D trees but please give the islands trees and roads. The ui is okay in some parts bad in others not much else to say on that front.

The game play is okay though it has lots and lots of problems the best part about this game is the live world. The live world is great those ships you see on the map far away? they're actually there and moving though the map, though it is limited to the block you're in so you can't really see those units unless you have a plane near by, would be nice to scroll around the map with no limits at all.

A problem with live world is it's unbalanced very unbalanced, you can lose planes to subs that are underwater, lose a battle that would be winnable if you watch it so you need to be in multi able places at once to get the full effectiveness of your units. An example is during the US campaign the japanese always send two Cruisers they'll kill the patrols then attack the island, if you watch the battle you will always win with very little damage done, now if you didn't watch the battle the japanese will completely delete everything and take no damage at all.

Planes bug out a lot in this game they sometimes freeze in the air attack units they shouldn't be, Fighters don't really escort bombers correctly sometimes just not doing anything while the bombers get shot down. AAA is very very strong you can lose lots of units just attacking one carrier. It's just a mess using the best part of the game.

The morale system is very very poorly thought out small ships can never fight effectively since if you use more than 50% of the crew of the ship it suffers a morale penalty which cause them to lose effectiveness... yeah not great. This affects all ships but not as badly as smaller ships which suffer the worst.

Island capturing is kinda meh you can't airborne assault or sabotage them you have to bomb them to death before attacking but you'll lose 90% of your planes doing so with OP AAA, Beach assaults are bleh something like battlestations pasific would be nice instead of the ships just despawning.

This game can be great if it was fixed and worked on more I know it's a small dev team but still with it's price I expect more from it, I know some things are out of range hopefully modding will fix a lot of the visual and aesthetics. I hope this game is fixed and becomes better but in it's current state it's just not worth it at it's full price get it on sale or get it retail with the original game.

The first minutes in a game are important, making a player watching like 6 cutsences then make them crawl around like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ slowly to watching more cutsences. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ garbage.

No SEA servers, controls are crap, graphics are crap, the unlocking system is made for FTP games... the game is dead, the few games that I was able to play were laggy and awful. Don't waste your money on this.

2020 update it's still awful

I have so many regrets, buying this game is one.

Helicopters are garbage, high teir is garbage. Naval hasn't gotten any new content. Only reason i'll still play this is cause of friends. But i suggest you don't play this just let the game die please.
