Great update over the original without really removing what it was. I just had the major problem of saving being disabled for some reason.
I was expecting the full game, but got treated on a demo. Which is rather disappointing as the word DEMO is actually never mentioned. So that would be misleading at best and rather scammy. Companies should be making it clear it's a DEMO so you don't end up getting all exited only to get serious disappointed. This is NOT the way how you should handle a demo or your audience. I wonder what's wrong with people that think this is okay. YES, they have now a 35 turn thing going on, 5 more then what it was in the past if I have to go on the earlier comments. Yes, it does give a general idea, but no it doesn't make up for the fact that this is a DEMO and it remains a serious scummy tactic regardless. Now for the gameplay, well you have a specific amount of steps, which are not too many at all, to do before you can go to the next turn. So yeah you could say it's turn based in that sense. I however should really make it clear that there is a very clear hint of wokeness in this title. Some of the leaders given are very clearly rainbow bs happy and push it down your throat all too happily. Same for the vegetarian nonsense being forced upon you and you got to be happy with similar nonsense. This shouldn't be in a game, it distracts and just causes you to shut it down and uninstall it. I will NOT be buying this game, after getting fooled by a bait and switch scam I seriously couldn't be bothered anymore. And that's not even including the woke nonsense in this game.
After installing and launching it, not a single sound came out of this game. Which is very disappointing clearly.
I always wanted a game like this, so that part is really good. Thank you to the developer for making this game as it's rather rare to see this type of game. Now, over all this game is good and fun. You can play while watching videos for example if you just have a few ships. However it's a time sink when you starting to get 6-8 ships and gets much worse after that. The pause mode is there for your biggest help to sort things out. You have 3 types of ships, or technically 4 as oil and gas tankers are for some reason in the same category. Aside from oil and gas, you can transport containers and bulk (raw ore for example). It would be fun to have some other type ships added, like multi-purpose vessels, Reefer ships, Ro-ro vessels, heavy-lift ships, etc. It will broaden the options a lot, specially if you have the option to use way more ships at the same time. Fortunately you can get "on" your ship and see it docked or sailing, however unfortunately you can't really see it's journey as it will technically be on pause and you don't actually travel with the ship. Rather disappointing. There are a lot of important ports not added yet, if I understood it correctly, the developer mentioned this will be addressed at some point. I do hope this will be the case. BUGS: These are the ones I noticed, I do hope a patch will come to fix this. - you click trough the map and the UI for some reason. Clearly not meant to happen as it causes rather annoying issues - using your scroll wheel will zoom the map when you try to scroll trough your ships. Rather annoying - Even on easy the AI oddly enough will pass you so you can't really win. Regardless what you try, you can't keep up or catch up. This is pretty much a show stopper as it makes it impossible to win.
Really can use a big patch to fix bugs and assets. Bugs such as even the best guns bouncing off tanks that it should 1-shot easily. Rounds that disappear into thin air or hitting objects in the path while being not even near the flight path of the round. Bridges often have gaps between the bridge and land, making it rather awkward. lots of assets look sloppy and unfinished. Draw distance is very close, so you see a lot of assets suddenly pop in while crops mostly cause major lag issues (anything really on farm fields) The idea is great, but it seriously lacks a lot. I really would love to see the bugs being fixed and the unfinished assets getting final touches. It would have been great if you had a actual tech tree so you can unlock things that way, similar to World of Tanks for example. Vehicles can be too sluggish making you fall asleep during driving. Tactics or trying to hit specific points doesn't really seem to matter. Which is rather awkward and silly. Should really get promoted for trying to use tactics and hitting specific points. Would I like to see more of this game? Well, after getting those fixes in it's a decent game I guess. The idea is good as I already mentionedd, so it can work if finished properly. Also playing as the Germans will most likely cause a lot of eyebrows to raise. Specially as angry mustage man is mentioned quite often. It would be a lot better if you had the allies added to it, let's say the British or Americans.
Crashes a lot on newer pc's, would be awesome to have a patch to correct this
For some reason it crashed on launching the game. After crash super lag for my pc oddly enough.
