    Fun shoot 'em up but its potential is limited by generic flaws.

    Ultimately, Naval Warfare is a decent arcade shooter. Unfortunately, the storyline is confusing and the levels are inconsistent in difficulty--many levels are maddeningly easy, while others are suddenly extremely difficult. This makes for a frustratingly uneven campaign experience, and because upgrades are level-specific, there's little reason to want to replay this title. Multiplayer isn't much better, as it's limited by the fact that you're unable to make custom maps or play online.

    In a desperate attempt to stand out in a crowd of silly arcade games, Naval Warfare lost its drive as well as accessibility.

    Stunning steampunk visuals cannot cover up the horrible controls which make the boats practically unsteerable. [July 2011]

I am fortunate to have discovered it, as it's a satisfying blend of fast action and classy presentation, with beautiful hand-drawn cutscenes and that smoky steampunk taste. It's rare to see such a game put you in control of a boat rather then a land or air vehicle. As you progress through the campaign you are eventually given a choice of three different warships, each with a unique special attack and a wide variety of regular weapons. There's a few annoying escort missions, but most of the time you are on the glorious assault, facing hordes of enemy vessels and those classic, massive shmup bosses.… Expand

It's a fun if a bit generic arcade-style shooter with you commanding a gunship through various watery missions. The graphics are nice, and one of its finer points, but are let down by the shoddy mouse control which screams 'console port'. Control of the ship itself isn't terrible, but it's still obviously console-based. The voice acting is, for the most part, downright awful, but that's the story with many if not most video games. Overall it's a fun way to waste an hour or so, but it's not worth the $10 asking price when there are so many better games out there.… Expand

The game has been out for months and the only fix available is to disable your other monitor. How I read that is, "Hey we already have your money, so why should we bother making a patch."… Expand
