Killerfish definitely isn’t holding anything back when it comes to the team’s fondness for the classics with War on the Sea, the devs note influence from classics like Great Naval Battles (1992, Strategic Simulations) and Task Force 1942 (1992, MicroProse).Ī lot of the older strategy games placed a heavy emphasis on hardcore simulation aspects, so you can bet Killerfish put those front-and-center in War on the Sea. Taking a mix of history and cribbing from classic computer games in the same vein, War on the Sea just launched earlier this year to decent acclaim, adding another choice to the mix that’s worth checking out for fans of naval combat.ĭeveloper Killerfish has experience in the realm of naval combat games, including the likes of Atlantic Fleet and Cold Waters, the latter of which took a heaping helping of inspiration from the classic 1988 MicroProse game Red Storm Rising, which itself was based on the Tom Clancy novel of the same name. Enter the aptly titled War on the Sea, which puts players in command of task forces, convoys, and submarines during a time in which the Japanese Empire was expanding throughout the Pacific. There are plenty of ground and air combat-based World War II games, so it always catches our attention when a new one arrives that focuses its combat on the open seas.
