ABOUT THE GAME
This is SINKING SHIPS, a one- or two-player fighting game about naval combat during the Napoleonic Wars, like Star Control meets Wooden Ships & Iron Men. Keep one eye on your enemy and the other on your wind-vane as you angle for the perfect position to unleash your broadside.
- Take command of one of four “authentic” ships—Sloop, Xebec, Brigantine, or Man o’War—each with its own unique advantages and sailing characteristics.
- Learn to sail!* Maneuver against the wind, and hold the weather-gage to defeat your opponent.
- Play against the AI, or sink a friend(ship) in local multiplayer.
- Fight a single engagement, or take on all comers as you vie for the high score in the endless “Survival” mode.
- Attack during the day, or clash by night using the flash of your cannon fire to illuminate your enemy.
*not actual sailing lesson. do not attempt on real boat.
