Moving officers and crew around takes a few minutes while they travel, although that probably won’t mean much unless there is a real emergency. One thing to keep in mind is that at its heart, Aircraft Carrier Survival is actually a time management game. In terms of what you can play, there is the aforementioned tutorial levels, a campaign which took about 15 to 20 hours to complete, and a sandbox mode where you aren’t tied to specific campaign missions. The fact that there is a level difficulty selection only adds to the accessibility. Players will likely need to play through the tutorial missions to pick everything up, but beyond that, as previously mentioned, the game plays almost more like a board game more than a simulation in a lot ways. That is not to say that you can master the game easily, just that learning the basics won’t take very long. Once you know the system, it’s very easy to play by moving your crew “resources” around the ship, almost like a board game. You can also respond to emergencies in the same way. (The cutaway view reminds me a lot of Fallout Shelter.) Once the right staff march into place, you can give them orders like moving the ship forward along a plotted course or preparing for various air operations. Instead, you move officers and crew around to different compartments using a view where the side of the ship is cut open. This is not a hardcore simulation by any means where you need to control every single aspect of your ship. The game’s interface is intuitive and also designed so that just about anyone can play, even if they are not experienced wargamers. But for the most part, you only need to concern yourself with the carrier and its fleets of aircraft. You don’t directly control the other ships, but can sometimes give certain ones orders, like asking for the supply vessel to fill you up with fuel. Aircraft Carrier Survival puts players in charge of an aircraft carrier, sitting in the middle of a battlegroup. However, if players do end up enjoying this game, then Gambit Games is also working on a space-based title called Space Commander which looks like it may follow the same format.īut back to World War II. The developers have a few games under their belt, but nothing so ambitious as Aircraft Carrier Survival. I had been eying this one for quite some time on Steam as it moved through the development and early access process, and was happy to finally get to set sail with it when it officially launched in April. Sailing into this battle comes a whole new type of game, represented by Aircraft Carrier Survival from Gambit Games Studio.
Both are good titles, but also quite different from the game we are reviewing today.
AIRCRAFT CARRIER SURVIVAL RELEASE DATE SERIES
Looking at both of those kinds of games, the Battlefleet series is a good representation of the former, while War on the Sea is a great example of the latter. Of those, they normally fall into one of two categories: those that are simple and easy to play, but not very historically accurate, and those that are exceedingly complex and accurate, but with steep learning curves to even get your ships out of dry dock. Out on the sea, there are fewer options for gamers, and mostly all simulation-based titles. World War II wargaming is as popular as ever, with everything from shooters like Call of Duty: Vanguard to tactical titles like Fight for Freedom represented.
