Aircraft Carrier Survival

Aircraft Carrier Survival is a strategic simulator set during the Second World War, in which we play the role of the commander of a powerful aircraft carrier. The title offers extensive gameplay, requiring many different decisions to be made. The Polish studio CreativeForge Games (the devs of Phantom Doctrine, Hard West or Ancient Space) is responsible for the development and release of the title.

Story

The action of Aircraft Carrier Survival takes place during the Second World War - the biggest conflict in human history. Air and naval units were of key importance for the war.

Mechanics

In Aircraft Carrier Survival our task is to efficiently manage an aircraft carrier. The gameplay may evoke associations with such games as Fallout Shelter or This War of Mine. We often observe our ship from the side (from the side-scrolling perspective), clearly seeing what is happening in individual rooms.

The game consists mainly of making decisions and giving orders to crew members. We must also take care of our ship in a broader, strategic perspective - we must take care of the morale and recruit the right people for various positions. The completion of further missions also requires the pursuit of their specific objectives.

The real game takes place when our ship takes part in a battle. We must then deal with the consequences of enemy attacks - extinguish fires, repair damage resulting from air and torpedo attacks, and cut off sections filled with water. The danger can also appear on the ship itself - in the form of saboteurs, revolts, and even nervous breakdown of crew members.

Game modes

Aircraft Carrier Survival can only be played solo. The game does not offer any multiplayer modes - the mainstay of the game is the single-player campaign.

Technical aspects

Aircraft Carrier Survival features rather average three-dimensional visuals. The oceans look quite realistic and the different models of aircraft and ships resemble their prototypes from the real world, but technological shortcomings - poor textures and lighting, for example - mean that the end result is not as good as it could have been. However, the game skillfully reflects the atmosphere of the Second World War.
