Boat games have always been a favorable ground for simple launches, practically arcade and if you don’t remember that Overboard! for PlayStation that arrived in 1997. But it wasn’t until Assassin’s Creed III and its maritime phases that they already brought some realism… although nothing compared to what this Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts that you already have available on Steam intends .
Naval warfare at its finest
As we tell you, the intention of this game is not to make things easy for us, or even to make our work easier so that we can command one of these battleships in the most intuitive way possible. On the contrary, here the objective is the roughest and most realistic simulation possible , one that puts us in the center of an action where the response of the ship and the entire fleet is what we could expect in a real combat scenario.
Let’s see, this shouldn’t be taken too literally either because few can categorically affirm that Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts respects every last drop of ocean water to turn the gaming experience into a total simulation, but they do take it into account elements that navies around the world handle when they are going to engage in combat in the open sea.
For example, the enemies will not be simple sparring partners placed there for us to whip, since the developer warns us that we will have a sharp artificial intelligence behind us that will tickle us with real tactics in any of the war scenarios that it contemplates, and that ascend to a total of 58. Solving them with skill and, above all, knowledge, will be one of the main challenges of this Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts.
Academy and shipyard mode
But there are two elements that differentiate this game and it is the presence of a Naval Academy mode where we can learn the principles of warfare at sea, with many classes and simulations of situations that we could face, and a curious shipyard where it will be possible to build our own warships and then test their effectiveness in combat.
It is a way that, as you can see in the video that you have above, makes it easier for us to exchange modules to add new attack and defense functions . The idea is not to mix like crazy but to build a fleet that is capable of facing all imaginable scenarios: in case we face a very well armed enemy or against those who prefer quick skirmishes where speed and maneuverability must overcome on many occasions the tonnage and the greatest fire potential.
We already told you that this Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts is not a game to spend a few hours on and that’s it. It has been designed to put us with it and play it practically exclusively, as if it were a single hobby. In return, it will reward you with depth unparalleled in the genre, and content that will expand over the months. Remember that the game had been in early access since the end of 2021 and it has not been until now that Game-Labs has decided to launch it definitively. Are you going to try it?
