Totem also makes theClad in Ironsseries, which is what it’s currently focusing on.Itrecently released a DLC for one of its games entitled Clad in Iron: Carolines 1885. When all of the squares of a ship have been hit, the ship's owner announces the sinking of the Carrier, Submarine, Cruiser/Destroyer/Patrol Boat, or the titular Battleship. If all of a player's ships have been sunk, the game is over and their opponent wins. Enigma: Rising Tide is a very strange but excellent naval wargame. What makes it so strange is the alternative history the game is based upon; the Germans won the first world war, and everything stems from that. Now that you’ve digested that twist, it is easy to see what makes Enigma: Rising Tide such a compelling game to play. Focusing on small unit actions, such as operating a corvette, submarine or a destroyer. The player who successfully locates all their opponent’s ships first by hitting each square they occupy is the winner as all ships have been destroyed.
Where previous Totem Games releases can be considered misfires, the Ironclads 2 series of games bundled as a collection on Steam are a great addition for any armchair admiral out there. This collection of games has you fighting forgotten engagements in the late 19th century. While the strategic element is turn based, engagements are in real time. But don’t be fooled; managing ships can get complicated when you split columns or try and envelope an opponent’s fleet. Carrier Battleswas originally released a few years ago on iOS, and was a hit with the mobile crowd as it was a pretty decent turn-based wargame, one of the few that existed on mobile. Now it’s finally been ported to PC with some help from Avalon Digital and its ready to take its place on our list of top naval war games. It’s worth caveating that as much as this features a tight design, deep gameplay and smart abstractions to cover the Pacific Theatre, it IS a port of a mobile game at the end of the day.

If you’re a Warhammer fan, strategy fan, or sci-fi fan, this game is for you. Join Force of Warships - an online military simulator game that will surpass all expectations. This is for fans of PvP, naval combat and everyone who loves action, military and naval shooters. In 1973 a spin-off version was released under the name Sub Search.

Because this game has been in existence for so long, there are many different interpretations that apply differing variations on rules, fleet size, game length etc. Popular examples of this can be seen on smart phone applications such as Naval Strike and Naval Combat. It’s gotten fancier graphics and some other upgrades, but it can’t shake the essence of being a more simplistic game for a simpler platform. That’s not a detriment, but it is something to bear in mind. Other than that though,Carrier Battles makes smart of use of Fog of War mechanics, as well as making you feel the tension of far-off air battles as you manoeuvre your task forces in an attempt to control the Pacific.Future upgrades that will elevate it beyond it’s mobile progenitor are planned, and you can read our Carrier Battles4: Guadalcanalreview for more thoughts. It’s a pretty decent game, all in all.
All of these games feature fun and simple battle mechanics that involve building and improving your battle skills as the levels progressAlthough there is a Navyfield 2, it tries too hard to compete with World of Warships – rather than capture the ‘magic in a bottle’ that the first game had – and suffers for it.

The original Navyfield, by contrast, managed to capture fleet combat exceptionally well in a multiplayer setting and is still supported and played by players today. It’s well worth giving a whirl in 2021.

Atlantic Fleet is a World War 2 sim in, you guessed it, the Atlantic Ocean. This game is a sequel to the previous Pacific Fleet, which had some serious flaws and played more like a Google Store game than as a serious strategy PC game. This sequel turned out quite a bit better, thank God. Salvo - Complete Rules for Battleships Game". Archived from the original on 14 April 2009 . Retrieved 29 January 2008.
