It can be tempting to hit the ‘To Battle’ button without any thought, but you will quickly find yourself in trouble. When the player opens up the game, they will be confronted with quite an array of options. It is likely that in future updates we will see more game modes implemented, with Standard Battles, Confrontation and Domination matches currently acting as a strong starting roster for World of Warships. The game is well balanced, and in most cases balance will take priority over realism, a compromise that needs to be made if you’re looking to capitalise on the audience invested in World of Tanks. And we aren’t even onto the complex spotting mechanics yet. It’s a lot more complicated than point and shoot a skilled player will take into account map geometry, distance to target, speed of his own and the enemy’s vessel, as well as ammunition loaded before firing a salvo. While the gameplay may seem slow and even boring to some, if you are willing to put in the hours, you will find a lot more depth. A quick word of advice, these AI don’t miss often. Alongside this, you have the ‘coop’ game mode, which pits players against AI opponents. ‘Random Battle’ mode pits 24 players against each other on two teams, with ‘capture points’ dotted around the map offering players tactical solutions besides all out attrition.
The game currently allows players to join either PvP or PvE style matches. While this would be far from a bad thing, it’s also not 100% accurate. That’s because, certain improvements aside, this game could be mistaken for a ‘ World of Tanks with battleships’. To any players that have dabbled with World of Tanks, most of what I will say will sound very familiar. These range from £30 ‘premium’ battleships to more affordable ‘premium account’ bundles. The game is free to download and play, with those players who wish to avoid some of the more serious grinding being offered the usual wide array of micro-transactions. As the name would suggest, World of Warships focuses on naval combat, with players taking control of a swathe of World War II era units. Wargaming, the company behind the critically acclaimed World of Tanks have returned with their third and final entry to what has become a hugely popular franchise in recent years.
