    Gameplay in the game has received mixed reviews, with users noting the absence of custom and historical battles as significant drawbacks that limit engagement and familiarity with ship types.

    • “Not all the elements of Ironclads 2: War of the Pacific have gelled into a satisfying whole, but enough good gameplay is in place to make this a worthwhile game for any nautical buff.”
    • “The lack of custom battles would be a great feature to play battles with a variety of ship formations and to get familiar with each ship type, as well as providing interesting gameplay.”

    Overall, the graphics are considered decent but not groundbreaking, with some users feeling that a better engine could have enhanced the visual quality and modeling. While the visuals of ships engaging in combat on a vibrant sea are appealing, they do not reach a level of spectacularity, leaving room for improvement in future updates.

    • “Little ships steaming about and slugging it out with cannons on a bright blue sea look really nice.”
    • “We are spoiled by today's graphics.”
    • “Developers are only capable of what they can do, and maybe in the future they will improve their graphics, scale, and execution.”
