The gameplay is characterized by simple, intuitive mechanics and rules that provide a balanced and entertaining experience. However, the lack of coordination among computer-controlled units detracts from the strategic depth, making multiplayer modes more engaging than solo play.
“Its simple rules, intuitive mechanics, and straightforward strategy combine for good balance and entertainment value.”
“Consequently, multiplayer offers better gameplay than solo, as each computer-controlled unit seems to operate independently without coordinating or cooperating with the others.”
“In Battle Fleet: Ground Assault, the map no longer represents an expanse of ocean square miles in size, with gunnery determined by teams using mechanical computers inside ships' command centers, perhaps without ever seeing the enemy.”
“Each computer-controlled unit seems to operate independently without coordinating or cooperating with the others, so they never show teamwork by maneuvering to trap your tanks from different angles or using one tank as a decoy while others go for the kill. Consequently, multiplayer offers better gameplay than solo.”
