Game is amazing. Frankly quite baffled it’s not more popular. Maybe it’s the price? This is the best open-world/immersive sim set in the Pacific War, bar none. There’s so much room and so many tools to tell your own stories. The game also cuts down on a lot of the needless micromanagement from Bomber Crew (who are completely different developers, oddly enough). Examples of cool stuff that happened in my first campaign: Saved one of my best gunners and then dodging a cruiser cannon shot with less than a second to spare. Joining a group of destroyers and sub chasers to run down a carrier group and win SOMEHOW, taffy 3 style. A Japanese cruiser in that same battle made a glorious last stand where it still remained afloat after eating all my remaining five inch ammo and at least four torpedoes from my squadron ships. Had to rely on friendlies who only had 40mm autocannons and machine guns. For a cruiser. We riddled that thing with small arms for a solid 5 minutes before it finally flooded. Boat Crew creates epic stories faster than an American shipyard can make fletcher class destroyers. Here’s a list of things you can do: -call in friendly aircraft -recruit a friendly squadron that constantly follows you (you can get up to 3 destroyers and 5 PT boats which is crazy) -build-craft and optimize your PT boat and its dizzying variety of historic weapons (mortars, autocannons, light and heavy MGs, dumb rockets, torpedoes, depth charges, etc) -hire crew with different stats and traits that suit them to multiple different positions -assault bases with day/night cycles -shadow enemy fleets and ambush them at port -enemy leaders can ALSO call in enemy aircraft or ships against YOU which can make the end of a big fight way more intense These are my only minor complaints: -sometimes enemy ships can derp out. It’s not so bad or so often to break immersion. Occasionally there will be a lull in the fighting and you’ll just see them bumping each other or puttering around in circles -the Mark 13 torpedo is way too useful. It should be complete dogwater just as it was historically. -you go through ammo really fast. There’s no point in taking more than 1 resource slot of repair equipment or medical supplies. You can never have enough ammo (to be fair, the GIs of the period would probably relate, but it hurts the variety of play) -no sonar for hunting submarines yet, even on the sub chaser which doesn’t make sense. You have to spot submarines with the mark 1 eyeball which is tedious especially at night. -overworld strategic view has no music, so feels a bit dead sometimes before you get into the action -$25 feels a bit high, but game frequently goes on sale for 25% off Despite all of that I cannot recommend the game more strongly.
A fun naval war game that I feel gets a lot of things right other games in the genre don't. The gameplay loop is engaging and rewards you for knowing your role as a fast attack craft--- but punishes you should you think of yourself as bigger and tougher than you are. Battles are fast paced and are rarely ever drawn out the way many other naval games feel. What you are doing has a direct influence to the operations of both allied and opposing forces. You aren't battling for the sake of killing the other guy with abstract "objectives" to string you along. You have to pick your battles according to what's most important to the operation of the fleet as a whole, emphasizing your supporting role with your limited firepower. At the moment of writing, my biggest complaint is the actions of the computer forces on both sides make me scratch my head. I would very much like to know how they think and prioritize because there are moments where it feels like I'm watching groups of hamsters just trying to get themselves killed. That aside, I am happy to follow this game as it continues development and am excited for future updates.
