Aircraft Carrier Survival

Aircraft Carrier Survival is a World War II-based, strategic simulator in which we play the role of a commander of a powerful aircraft carrier. The production offers an extensive gameplay that requires making many different decisions. Polish studio CreativeForge Games (creators of Phantom Doctrine, Hard West or Ancient Space) is responsible for creating and publishing this title.

Story

The action of Aircraft Carrier Survival takes place during World War II - the biggest conflict in human history. Both air and naval units were crucial for the war.

Mechanics

In Aircraft Carrier Survival our task is to manage the aircraft carrier efficiently. The gameplay of this title may bring to mind games such as Fallout Shelter or This War of Mine. We often observe our ship from the side (from the so-called side-scroll perspective), clearly seeing what is happening in different rooms.

The game is all about making decisions and giving specific orders to all members of the crew. We must also take care of our ship in a broader, strategic sense - take care of morale and recruit the right people for particular positions. Successive missions also require completing their characteristic objectives.

The game gets really exciting when our ship takes part in a clash. We must then deal with the consequences of enemy attacks - extinguish fires, repair the damage caused by air and torpedo attacks, and cut off sections that fill with water. Threats can also appear on the ship itself - in the form of saboteurs, mutinies and even nervous breakdowns of crew members.

Game modes

In Aircraft Carrier Survival we can only play alone. The game does not offer any multiplayer modes - the basis of the gameplay is the single player campaign.

Technical issues

Aircraft Carrier Survival has rather average, three-dimensional graphics. The oceans look quite realistic, and individual aircraft and ship models resemble their real-world prototypes, but technological shortcomings - such as poor-quality textures and lighting - mean that the end result is not as good as it could be. Still, the game competently captures the atmosphere of World War II.
