Dread Admiral

If you are a turn based naval warfare fan and a fan of pixel art then this is a must play! My playing time is higher than it seems due to the demo. Very impressed with the elegant and challenging gameplay and absolutely love the cinematic pixel visuals. Lots of attention to detail, there is even a fleet painter where you can customize the color and flag of your ships. Despite what some demo reviews say, you can repair ships while still building new ones provide there is an open sea adjacent to the port. As other reviews have pointed out, driving straight to the enemy port to end its production of new ships seems essential. It is a entertaining challenge to do that while conserving your forces and invading neutral cities, all while fighting prowling submarines. Your liberated/conquered cities can eventually match the enemies production, so there is tension between running the gauntlet and getting your own bases up and running. Still too early for me to tell about scenario variety. I have seen what I'd call Blitz and Normal, the former requires you to move very fast due to Black Fleet arriving so much faster, the latter gives you time to build more ships. I am assuming there are also scenarios where you have more time to build fleets, and in some ways you control this by what kind of cities and ships you leave behind. Hoping to see more scenarios where you are also (a) finding hidden fleets prowling the map, (b) dealing with large pre-exist fleets already at anchorage -- a kind of don't wake the dragon too early sort of challenge (c) building fortress islands -- game has intriguing options for fortifying island cities. These scenarios might already be in the full game. I look forward to finding out. Either way, I still recommend this game, provide you enjoy the challenge! At normal difficulty it is bone crushingly hard, many will find it too hard in some ways -- as it too often relies on overwhelming enemy forces. You will definitely lose ships and make mistakes, but that also reflects a game that requires strategy, tactics, and skill.

Addictive just-one-more-turn gameplay with a pretty tight and clear ruleset. It's a roguelite so expect some learning curve and the occasional merciless beating, but I think it's pretty reliably winnable once you know what you're doing, at least on Normal. Biggest problem is that it's very time consuming - it doesn't feel slow but there are a lot of moving parts each turn, each with a bit of animation time, times a significant number of turns. At this writing (less than a week post-launch) there are occasionally significant bugs, though they tend to get addressed fast.

A very nice turn-based tactical game, pretty similar in scope & theme to The Grandest Fleet (1993 DOS game). Good music, neat visuals, strong AI to pose a good challenge. Campaign has an FTL-esque flow to it and there's also some metaprogression to keep replays interesting.

Challenging Naval TBS done right, where each ship has a role to play and encourages you to use them all and consider what you're doing to win. Draws elements from the likes of Panzer General, Advance Wars and FTL amongst others into one package, with some meta progression on top, plus decent atmospheric soundtrack.

这个游戏实在是太好玩了，各种内容都做得很好，而且也很精细 一周前我就玩了这个试玩版，这个游戏的内容，真的激发了我的性趣，这才是我想要玩的游戏，而且也很做的很精细内容 是个好游戏，就是还是有一点平衡性问题，一些小问题，不过这都不是什么事 航空母舰的飞机被击落的几率实在是太奇葩了，哪怕一个鱼雷艇我飞机每一次过来，他都能打掉我一个飞机，而且我连续两次都没把他给炸掉，我去打巡洋舰，甚至人家巡洋舰一炮能干下我两架飞机，本来恢复飞机就很慢，这个防空要重新做一下，这个被击落的几率太乱了 也希望这个游戏作者能够多多打磨这款游戏，真的是个好游戏，能够继续做好的话，很有潜力，然后多研究多人游戏模式 我一直盯着他发售日期，他一发售我现在就买了。我真的很喜欢这款游戏，希望作者能够好好继续做下去

It's a simple but fun game. combines some elements from different games, hope to see some expansion of unit types and possibly more story in the future.

This is a really fun turn based naval tactics game with a full set of mostly WW2 ships. Sneaky subs, patrol boats, carriers, battleships, etc.

The game is difficult, perhaps overly so but I find it quite fun! Also the soundtrack is killer.
