Is the game worth it?

[Van]

Hello, I was looking at buying this game, its on sale for 5.99 but while looking closer at it. It shows no update for since may 2023. so is this game dead and there just trying to sell it for nothing?

Have a look at this Thread and this one .

tldr:
- if one is into world war 2 aircraft carriers
- and if one doesn't mind that it will most likely never see any further developement
- and if one doesnt mind the bugs
- and if the game is on sale for 5$
it might be worth and I'd probably buy it for 5$.

I play this game actually and i like it. I had now only 2 bugs, that a mission wont start, as i said it and sometimes they lost a order, f. e. change the deck from start to landing wont work. But when this happens, you give the order again and it work. No big problem.
The biggest things i dont like in this game:
- Im from Germany and the translation is a little bit incorrect at some point, but when you play in english, this would not be your point.
- The organisation on deck is a little bit silly, the way like the move and park the planes is very inefficient. So it takes a lot of time to manage the planes at deck, f. e. when a group of planes have to start, but they stand not in the first lines. So the move the first planes away, but over the hole deck and not the shortest way. It seems there ar only 3 point for plane parking on deck.
- I think some missions the enemy ara much to strong to finish all mission tasks.
But i a total result is this a good game. In a sale, like i get it, you can buy it. Actually fot about 5 € or $ you can get it.

Thank you for your insight on it.

I just picked it up and it's honestly really good. I haven't run into any real bugs yet and I'm halfway through the campaign.

Maybe it used to be buggy and that's why reviews are mixed.

If you are into WW2 and carrier management I recommend it.

I think they fixed most bugs in the campaign although I think I didn't get the Fleet Commander Achievement although I'm pretty sure I did it twice...

The sandbox mode is pretty buggy. There are sometimes objectives that are impossible because they are too far from each other but you have to do them within too few days. Sometimes you don't get the rewards for whatever reasons, sometimes you can't save/load or enter Pearl Harbor. And it's pretty unbalanced, you can get heavy enemy taskforces within a few missions without the possibility to upgrad your carrier/fleet enough.

If you are into overcomplex, overcomplicated ganes were you have to be the crew of an entire aircraft carrier and run the ship by micromanagment and need a 2 hour explanation how to get CAP in the air or to start a damn recon mission. Then buy it. But only if it's below $5
