  • graphics
    34 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are widely regarded as outdated, with many users noting their early 2000s and even 1980s aesthetic, which can detract from the experience for some players. Despite the visual shortcomings, many reviewers appreciate the game's unique mechanics and engaging gameplay, suggesting that the graphics do not significantly hinder enjoyment. Overall, while the visuals may be considered "horrendous" or "meh," they are often overshadowed by the fun and nostalgia associated with the gameplay.

  • gameplay
    31 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay in this title is characterized by its unique mechanics and fast-paced action, though it requires time to master. While the game offers deep customization and a blend of realistic and arcade elements, many players feel that the quality has declined over the years due to a diminishing player base and unresolved technical issues. Despite its dated graphics, the gameplay remains engaging and addictive, appealing to both new and veteran players who appreciate its complexity and strategic depth.

    • “It has a very unique gameplay, it's fast-paced, and balance is more in line with an MMO (noticeable nation strengths and weaknesses).”
    • “Fantastic gameplay, fairly deep mechanics, and lots of options to play your own way.”
    • “The customization is superior to any other naval game and the gameplay can be either simple or challenging (take CV gameplay for example).”
    • “Game mechanics were not fixed for years and don't look like it will be done any time soon.”
    • “Quality of gameplay has diminished over the years due to the older, more experienced players leaving the game.”
    • “Navyfield at one point was a successful and fun game to play; such success has been rabidly eroded through mismanagement, outright malice of moderators and GMs, along with the degradation of gameplay due to compounding technical issues and a declining playerbase.”
  • grinding
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game is widely described as exceptionally tedious, requiring significant time investment to earn credits, research points, and level up ships and crews. While some players find enjoyment in the grind, especially those familiar with MMO mechanics, others express frustration over the complexity and potential loss of progress. Overall, the game is characterized by a nostalgic yet demanding grind that can be both rewarding and frustrating.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “The game is also extremely grindy; level 120 is the highest level you can get to (from when I played, not exactly sure if they changed it now or not). You have to grind for credits and research points to get new ships, but you also have to level up your crew as well.”
    • “Grinding is a pain, and you won't start to feel useful until you reach a tier 3 submarine, tier 4 battleship, or tier 5 aircraft carrier.”
    • “It has tons of flaws, like: crashing (lots of crashing), complicated controls, and lots of grinding.”
  • stability
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is heavily criticized, with users reporting numerous glitches, crashes, and freezes, particularly on Windows 10. Many have experienced issues with account recovery and in-game item accessibility, alongside concerns about unfair bans related to event glitches. Overall, the game appears to suffer from long-standing technical problems that detract significantly from the user experience.

    • “I recently checked my old messages and it's been more than a year for them to have ignored my requests, and when attempting again I get the same results and a buggy website that throws incorrect error messages when trying to proceed with account recovery.”
    • “The game is riddled with bugs and glitches which have accumulated over the past 10 years, along with frequent inabilities to access in-game items such as sailors and premium items, and in some cases, the disappearance altogether.”
    • “Sometimes you join a room and everything freezes, forcing you to close the game.”
  • music
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received high praise, with many users noting its quality as comparable to that of WWII-themed movies and other AAA titles. The soundtrack is highlighted as a standout feature, complemented by great sound effects, while the opening music offers a unique experience.

    • “The soundtrack is on par with WWII-themed movies and any other AAA games.”
    • “Great sounds and music.”
    • “Good music and sound effects.”
    • “Though be sure to check out the soundtrack because honestly its quality is on par with WWII-themed movies and any other AAA games.”
    • “The opening game music was different.”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is minimal, with a focus on pure PvP action and single-player missions that are best suited for more powerful ships. Players generally find the narrative lacking and not a primary draw of the game.

    • “So, yeah, long story short... just don't, please.”
    • “Pure PvP action as well as missions.”
    • “Single player missions (though only recommended for more powerful ships like CAS).”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is notably poor, with users reporting slow loading times and frequent crashes, which detracts from the overall experience. While there are opportunities to enhance ship performance through upgrades and skilled crew, the underlying technical issues remain a significant concern.

    • “You will get the chance to improve your ship's equipment like guns, shells, engines, radar, and armor. You will also have the opportunity to hire skilled seamen and train them to enhance your overall ship's performance in battle.”
    • “Not optimized, slow loading.”
    • “Bad optimization; it can crash quite a bit and I haven't found a fix, so you may have to deal with it if this happens.”
    • “The game suffers from poor optimization, leading to frequent crashes and frustrating performance issues.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is characterized by moments of absurdity, such as exaggerated inaccuracies in shooting reminiscent of stormtrooper-level precision, and playful references, like a sound effect lifted from Starcraft that adds a comedic touch to prohibited actions.

    • “However, auto is also less accurate; sometimes you will have hilariously bad shell dispersion, like stormtrooper-level bad accuracy.”
    • “One funny thing is that a sound effect warning indicating that an action is prohibited, e.g., pressing the ESC button when enemies are in the vicinity, was taken straight from StarCraft.”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's monetization model is heavily criticized for its reliance on microtransactions, which many users feel make it nearly unplayable without spending money. Players highlight that it leans towards a pay-to-win structure, reminiscent of its predecessor, Navyfield 1, known for similar issues.

    • “This game isn't free; it is riddled with microtransactions that make it nearly unplayable otherwise.”
    • “Navyfield 1 is one of the oldest of its kind and is most reputable for its extreme microtransactions and pay-to-win mechanics.”
