Description

"Be prepared to spend hours commanding your ships into glorious victory or crushing defeat." - SlideToPlay.com "The AI regularly cleans my clock until it gleams." - PocketTactics.com Hoist your sails and load the cannons as you embark for adventure on the high seas! Can you defeat your friends and best your enemies to become the Admiral of the Fleet? Naval Tactics: Captains of the Spanish Main is set in the Golden Age of Sail, where stout ships of wood were crewed by even stouter men. Nations at peace and at war engaged in naval actions on the high seas. Naval Tactics brings the proud tradition of great naval board games such as Wooden Ships and Iron Men to iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. TACTICAL WAR BOARD GAME From the hexagonal playing field to the potentially game changing Captain's Cards, Naval Tactics is a board game to its very roots. To succeed you will need to take your time, think three moves ahead, and mind the weather gauge! ONLINE ASYNCHRONOUS MULTIPLAYER Powered by the online system used by Starbase Orion, enjoy one of the best multiplayer experiences on the App Store with asynchronous, turn-based matches, real-time chat, unlimited number of concurrent games, automated match-making, and more! TRUE NAVAL COMBAT Naval Tactics prides itself on striving to capture the spirit of traditional naval combat in board game form. Configure your fleet using a variety of ships, from nimble Naval Cutters to massive Ships of the Line. Should you disable an opponent with bar shot or blast through their hull with double shot? Enterprising Captains will need to understand their vessels, their armaments, how they sail in relation to the wind, and the advantages of naval formations to best their fellows on the high seas. BALANCED COMPETITIVE PLAY Combining just the right amount of variety while maintaining a balanced engagement, Naval Tactics sets the bar for multiplayer naval combat on iOS. Choose your Captain's Cards, configure your fleet, outfit your ships, and embark on glorious battles knowing you will have to outwit your opponent to claim victory. HISTORICAL MISSIONS One cannot have a naval combat game without paying respect to the many true heroes who have shown their bravery on the seas. Live the Battle of Flamborough Head, the Constitution vs Guerriere, or the struggle at Trincomalee. More historical missions will be added in future updates! FEATURE SUMMARY • Age of Sail Naval Combat and Tactics • Hexagonal Map with Fog of War • Custom (Sandbox) Missions • Historical Missions • Simultaneous Turn-based Gameplay • Single Player vs AI • Top-notch Online Multiplayer • Pass-and-Play Multiplayer GUARANTEED PRICING While it is quite common for apps to become “free for a day”, Naval Tactics is not one of those apps.

    Just a wonderful game for a large size iPad. Clean attractive interface. Simple design, with nice nuances as you get deeper. I’ve only played against the AI, not online, the former being my preferred way to relax with a strategy game. I almost always beat the AI now, but it remains a challenge to do it without losing any of my ships. I’ve read every Patrick O’Brien story, of course, as well as the Hornblower series way back when. I find the game plays true to the strategy in the books, and I suspect to reality as well. The suicide missions by small fast enemy ships are a nice component of the AI’s strategy. One minor quibble is that boarding enemy ships still strikes me as too difficult, because they maintain much of their firepower to the end and tend to be too dangerous to approach to knock out sails and crew. Also, there doesn’t seem to be any bonus for having your cannons pre-loaded as you go into a turn, as compared to loading and firing in the same round. There are helpful warnings when you are about to leave cannons unfired or when ships are about to collide, but I still often forget to press the crucial “combat” button after a round of focusing on “repairs” or “sail.” Very modest price for many many hours of replayability, with no requests to buy more features or annoying requests for a review. Thank you for the wonderful app!

    Requires better balancing of matchmaking. If unable to provide better balancing of matchmaking, esteem points should be awarded or taken away according to the difficulty of opponent. For example, a rank of master should not lose esteem points for losing to the admiral of the fleet or if a lieutenant wins against a rear admiral, the lieutenant should get a large promotion. Ranks should be reset for players after a year of inactivity. Lastly we need more battle scenarios. (Historic battles would be nice)
  • Fun, challenging and easy to play!

    Wonderful game with many possible scenarios. If you like naval history, tactics and strategy, this is the game for you! Captain your ship one-on-one, or direct your fleet in multi-ship battles. Never a dull moment!
  • Hoist your sails!

    This is, hands down, the best turned-based naval warfare game out there. A friendly user community is waiting to help young sailors over the learning curve, which is present...but worth the short climb! Can’t recommend it highly enough.
  • Excellent fighting sail game

    If you want to get a feeling for a real fighting sail game like those you read about in the Hornblower series or the Master and Commander books (and movie), THIS is your game. So good it is almost a simulation, but great fun and you can learn the tactics of 17th, 18th and early 19th century naval combat. Take your time learning the game against the AI before you play with humans as this game is deep and accurate. One of the absolute best combat simulation games on the iPad or anywhere else, PC, miniatures, or paper and pencil.

    Battles available for all skill levels, including practice against the AI. All are free, but also has rated games for a small fee, to increase your “stripes” all the way to Admiral and beyond. This is the best Naval game in the App store.
  • Excellent Napoleanic era turn-based strategery game

  • I love the game, but it has a bug that keeps it from full potential

    I love this game. I play it as often as possible. But, recently, I have tried battle royale (6 player battle) and it acts fine until in round 0 I am setting up player six, and I have captain cards and ships picked out, and I push next, and the game freezes. PLEASE GET RID OF THIS!
  • Slow and boring

    It is a good concept but it takes too long to complete an action. This makes the game almost unplayable.
