The value story
The value story
It has been discounted 95 times in the 14 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 80 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.
It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 96 percent. Port Royale 4 ($39.99, scores 2) outscores it, and so does Aircraft Carrier Survival ($19.99, scores 4). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What drives the score
Grades: S best, D weakest
S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work
What players say
This is an increcible idea for a game. 100% love it. but the introduction/tutorial is absolute trash. If they fixed the campaign intro/tutorial it would be great. instead its a mediocre game because you have to research the tutorial, then the gameplay is incredible.
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
I really liked the game, but the battle with the crashes was constant. I almost couldn't continue a few times, but in the last mission the crashes won and i had to watch the ending on Youtube.
I think this is the best version of Carrier Command type games that we have currently. The fact that it is not that enjoyable speaks for itself.
