The game's story is primarily conveyed through a series of 54 missions across various campaigns, focusing on naval battles during World War II. Players engage in diverse tasks such as attacking and defending convoys, with missions varying in length and difficulty, though some may feel repetitive when switching sides. While the mission editor adds a layer of customization, the overall narrative experience is considered basic, lacking depth in character development and broader historical context.
- “A nice variety of missions: attack convoys, defend convoys, collect intel, search and attack bases, etc.”
- “This is a must-have for any WWII navy geeks. Ultra realistic, tough missions, great graphics, detailed modeling.”
- “Missions are locked and you can only advance through the hard way - hard to say how much content there really is here - 3 tutorials in the beginning though that you really should do.”
- “Barely passable, totally missed out on the Pacific and all American boats. There's no customizing boats like the US did, crews are killed off immediately, missions are hard especially because you can only really control the PT boats and the computer crew is very bad at decision making, such as firing at a target.”
- “Some missions are very short, maybe 10-15 minutes, and others can reach 1 hour. You can't save in the middle of the missions, so be careful.”
