Gameplay Mechanics: 9/10 Narrative: 6/10 Graphics: 7/10 Sound and Music: 7/10 Replayability: 7/10 Innovation: 9/10 Ultimate Admiral: Age of Sail is a standout tactical strategy game that dives deep into naval warfare during the Napoleonic era. With a focus on historically grounded mechanics and a refreshing emphasis on wind, positioning, and momentum, it captures an experience most strategy games completely overlook. Gameplay mechanics are top-notch. Controlling your fleet feels precise and rewarding, with layers of tactical depth—ranging from managing firing arcs and crew stamina to using wind direction to your advantage. The land missions, while secondary, offer solid skirmish gameplay. The campaign system allows for persistent fleets, officer development, and resource management, making every decision feel meaningful. Score: 9/10. Narrative is serviceable. The campaign provides historical flavor for both the British and American sides, but the storytelling is minimal and mainly serves to frame the battles. There’s not much in the way of characters or branching plots. Score: 6/10. Graphics are solid and get the job done. Ship models are detailed, ocean effects are immersive, and cannon exchanges look great in action. Land missions aren’t quite as visually appealing, and the UI can feel a bit clunky, but it’s still a good-looking tactical game. Score: 7/10. Sound and music help build immersion. The creak of the ship, the roar of broadsides, and the period-appropriate music all enhance the experience. It won’t blow you away, but it complements the gameplay well. Score: 7/10. Replayability is decent. While the two main campaigns don’t offer radically different paths, the tactical battles are challenging enough to revisit, especially with different fleet compositions and officer builds. Score: 7/10. Innovation is where this game truly shines. There are very few strategy games that combine realistic Age of Sail combat with persistent campaign mechanics. The mix of naval and land warfare, combined with RPG-style progression, makes it a uniquely rewarding experience. Score: 9/10. In short, Ultimate Admiral: Age of Sail is a hidden gem for tactical strategy fans. It offers deeply satisfying naval combat, a strong campaign structure, and an era that rarely gets this much attention. A must-play if you're looking for something different and tactically rich.

I have been looking for a game like this since I bought the original Age of Sail 20 years ago. The only things I dislike are there's no good written game manual and there are two many land campaigns. Five stars!!!11

A surprisingly solid game. Keeping the RPG elements from their previous game, Game-Labs built off of what worked with this one. With a focus on the Napoleonic Era and a mix of land and sea battles, they've done a great job with this one overall. That said, the land combat now feels rather dated compared to the naval missions; to the point that I actively disliked how many land missions there were. I'd love to see more customization on units as they're leaning heavily into the RPG elements. Outside of the name above my units, I genuinely cannot tell one from another. Would have been really cool to have the ability to at least select the colors of my ships. Additionally, the ending was rather weak. The final battles were great, don't get me wrong. However, there's 0 epilogue this time. UG:CW at least gave you a brief description of what happened to your character after the war. UA:AoS just ends with what feels like no warning. This was a minor issue with UG:CW but now it's amplified 10-fold. Really hoping to see this rectified in their next title. Overall, its an excellent naval combat RTS but has a few flaws. Some minor, some major. I can still easily recommend it to any fans of the genre and era. 7.5/10

Ultimate Admiral: Age of Sail has a lot to offer. While it doesn't offer a historical re-enactment, this game sets the standard for realism in Age of Sail sea battles against which future games will be compared. The combined land and sea battles (as well as the land-only and sea-only engagements) are very enjoyable and the harder missions offer a satisfying challenge. Being able to customise ships and land units is a fantastic feature. The game offers many different classes of ship - for example, the game's frigates include two classes of corvettes (small frigates), four classes of middle-sized frigates, and three classes of heavy frigates (or four classes of heavy frigates, if you have the Barbary War DLC, in the Barbary campaign). I particularly enjoy capturing the different types of ships, improving their guns and equipment as well as the skills of their crews and officers, and seeing how they perform in battle. While the game has limitations - such as the absence of multiplayer and the lack of a sandbox campaign - there is replayability as you try out different ships and tactics. Despite the shortcomings, I enjoy this game a lot. I enjoy experiencing some of the challenges which historical naval commanders faced in this era, If you enjoy Age of Sail tactics and battles, and if you'd like the opportunity to capture ships, re-fit them and use them in action, this game is highly recommended.

I was saluting to the screen of my computer as my frigate was sinking. It was my flagship. It has been traded for victory in a battle so hard that I did not even consider restarting. I hesitated a lot before buying this game. I was wrong, I regret my hesitation. This is currently the best game about tall warships. It is way better than any of the Total War naval combat and much deeper than Naval Action or Sea Dogs I'll compare it to Napoleon: Total War What it does better - Way better morale simulation - More detailed damage simulation - More detailed crew simulation - Much better ship movement - Battles are not obvious and can be decided in any phase - It has complex and very good fleet management - it is really difficult and rewarding What it does worse: - It does not look as good - It has a slightly higher system requirements (Unity) - The pace is slower (it is not a disadvantage TBH) - There are land battles too. They are good but not as good as naval ones. They can't be skipped in Campaign mode Yes, it is currently the best game of this genere. Completely worth it
