This is basically a free demo for the full version of the game, Pacific Fleet. So definitely give this a try before you buy the full game. The following is our review for the full game, all of which applies to the demo as well. The only difference is that the demo only has a fraction of the missions and not all of the ships. This is by far our favorite naval combat mobile game. This is a turn based game that does a better job of making you feel immersed than most real-time naval games. The animations, while not stunning from a technical perspective (though they still look great) really nail the realistic look of naval battles. Apart from shells in flight (which are made more visible so you can actually see them), everything looks like what it would in real life. And while moves are done in turns, the animations are at realistic speeds. This means, for example, a sinking ship may still be visible through multiple turns, depending on how long you take. Because while the ship counts as sunk from a gameplay perspective, the animation moves in real time rather than being turn based, keeping it immersive. Other animations have realistic speeds too, such as dive bomber making its attack run. Even the anti-aircraft fire looks tremendous. Little details like this really make this game special to us. But what about the gameplay itself? Well, let us first say that youll want to read through the guides before playing, and read through them again after playing your first few missions. The manual provides everything you need to know, but there is no real tutorial. We made it all the way through our first campaign without reading the manual, so it can be done. But youll miss so much. For example, we wasnt sure why we were getting such varied readings on our radar for one of our ships, but not the other. We wasnt sure if the damage done to specific meters on the enemy ship was randomized or calculated based on where the ship was hit. We thought it was a bug that readings sometimes didnt match what was actually occurring. We didnt realize that selecting scuttle all ships was not simply an exit battle button, and actually had significant consequences! It never occurred to us that there were hidden and sometimes hardened weak points such as hangars and magazines. And we didnt even notice that you could see where a ship was flooding based on its visible list, and that this reflected where you had damaged it! There are SO many hidden mechanics in this game that make it more fun, realistic, and immersive. We recommend reading the manual so that you understand how to use them to your advantage. Finally, this is just a straight up game. No nonsense micro transactions, no ads, no subscriptions, no signing up for an account on another site, none of the annoying stuff that has become almost ubiquitous in modern games. Now this game isnt perfect. Ive encountered one or two minor bugs, the ship selection UI is a bit clumsy and counter-intuitive, but these are minor nitpicks. The fact is, this is the first mobile game Ive played in years that we were actually excited about. We actually looked forward to getting off work just so that we could play some more. That alone would earn it five stars for us. Of course, we did not have high expectations when we downloaded this game, so that influenced our experience. We do hope that our high praise does not affect your experience! Note: we have not tried the multiplayer yet.
Please make the full version free because the game is old and also killer fish games make certain things cost money not every thing like maybe lets say the atomic bomb in multiplayer or the Osaka kamakizi and mayby certain ships but not Yamato or the us counterpart and maybe certain carriers if there are multiple supper carriers then maybe make one on each side cost something.
Ive played this game for about 5 years but stil never get tired of it.
This game wont work on the iPhone X. Anyway yall can update it.
Hey – fun game. Will get the full version at some point. But could you make the font for the radar easier to read. It is very fine and can be hard for at least our eyes to make out. Thanks.
This would be 5 stars if it we were able to play it, it doesnt work because the home bar is in the way. But we love the game.
Cant play controls to close to the home bar.
The torpedoes miss when we go head on the destroy the opposing ship but overall a good game.
We love this game and used to play it a lot, so we decided to re-download it and play it. Unfortunately on the iPhone 10 and above, the game is unplayable because the home button bar thing is right where the steering controls in the game are, we literally cannot play the game because the steering is right where the home bar is, and whenever we try to use the steering, it just closes the app. Please fix this, maybe by moving the steering controls higher up on the screen.
We like the game but we want carriers in single battle.
Game used to work well in iPhone 6. Upgraded to XS and can not adjust direction of fire with the controls so small and at the bottom of the screen. Recommend adding a control direction toggle in the left side of the screen. Same issue when trying to select a heading when moving the vessel. Full version a bit too expensive.
We love this game, the animationa nd grraphis are great! The island levels are hard but still fun to attempt as your ships are getting bombarded by bombers. Our only gripe is that when we try to now play this game on an Iphone X or similar, then it doesnt work. The home bar on the bottom interferes with the direction of aiming the guns and moving the ship. We hope maybe one day js resolved or at least works for Atlantic Fleet.
Hello we looked at your game it looks really good but we have one problem so we play on iPhone and we have this thing at the bottom of our screen which makes it so Im unable to steer or aim our cannons so if you could move the aiming and steering systems left more that would be absolutely wonderful thank you.
MOVE THE STEER AND AM HIGHER OR TO THE TOP we WANT TO BE ABLE TO PLAY BUT we CANT BC MY HOME BUTTON IS IN THE WAY SO PLEASE MOVE IT.
Please, make this work on iphone 12 and we will give you money for the full version.
We used to have this game a long time ago and it is so much fun! But with the new iPhone home bar it makes the game unplayable because we cant access the bar to turn the ships. The joke bar sits right on top of it. So 3 for the incredible gameplay we remember. Not 5 because we can no longer play it.
Impossible to control because of the home bar please fix this.
Typical of the "pay-for" videogames. Unless you PAY for the "full version" of this game, your submarine torpedoes will either veer-off and deliberately miss the target ship, or, if it's a direct-hit, it'll say: "dud torpedo".
Its a good game but its very outdated. Controls cant be used on iPhones without the home button. Game is virtually unplayable with new iPhones unless it gets updated (which at this point seems unlikely).
Overall this game is good and has great fire physics and explosions but you need to add Japanese submarine because we want to do the depth charges with the uss Missouri but the Japanese side does not have submarines so we were a little disappointed if you can please add a Japanese submarine that would be great.
We loved this game we used to play it all the time but ever since we got a upgrade we cant play it right pls fix.
Us iPhone 11/X users could use a bit of support for this game, the home bar interferes with the aiming bar.
We played the demo Version of Atlantic Fleet and the slider controls were fine and made us consider buy the full version. We do want to get the Pacific fleet full version its just the slider doesnt work.
So far, we are still struggling to learn how to play. Lots of buttons to learn. Downloaded the PDF manual, but…. We like the looks of the game, and have played a few times. The game offers a lot- just time consuming to figure out all the options.
We love this game in the past and wanted to redownload it but the the iPhone that dont have a home button it does allow us to move the ships or where we are fireing plz fix this as soon as yall can we would love to enjoy thus game again.
There is not enough money you need to make it so that money can be made even when you finish the things.
If you ask us alantic fleet light is much easier to learn and has a smother user interface and better graphics.
Cant use it on iPhone XR sadly. This is a good game tho.
When we didnt have the full version we were able to use 3 ships we just want them to add where you could use 3 ships Im not happy!! :(.
Ive played this game for countless hours on PC and was excited to see it was available on mobile. Unfortunately, the game is unplayable on newer iOS devices. The white bar at the bottom of apps restricts the ability to aim weapons and steer your ship.
The current version has the steering bar overlaying the tool bar. So you can not steer or aim anything. This once was the best sim program out there but without being able to steer or aim its just junk.
So to start, theres two issues 1. The big on, on iphone 10, 11, 12 on, the bar where the home button was makes it si you cant aim guns 2. Small issue. Not enough ships, UI for selecting ships is annoying to use Love atlantic fleet lite though.
Yall put the aim bar next to the home bar on IPhones so you cant aim. Meaning you cant play the game. Congratulations. Deleted.
The full version needs to be free, because the lite version is old and less fun to play. The full version provides more levels, you can actually turn the ships, and there are islands. Please make full Version free.
All controls are grouped right next to the switch tabs slider on an iPhone. Cant access most of the controls on the game, rendering it unplayable.
The bar on the bottom of the screen sits right where all the controls are, cannot get it removed to control your ship and completely makes this un playable.
Cant turn the ship or guns because the slider to bring up the Home Screen is in the way.
We hate this game we hate this game we hate this game this is the worst Game.
Torpedoes are way too inaccurate and unreliable. This can only be fixed by bUyInG tHe FiX. Out of 15-20 torpedoes, only 5 hit and only 2 werent duds. Its pay to win and we hate it for that.
Cant swipe along the controls at the bottom of the screen without causing the screen to move away and switch to another application. Controls cannot rest on the bottom edge since the new supe along the bottom UI changes.
No instruction and poorly designed.
The developers conveniently put the direction control at the bottom of the screen. Meaning we grab the app and cant control direction. Got annoyed after three minutes of playing.
Its impossible to play, we have a newer phone and when we try to steer it trys to exit. Because you slide up to exit. We use to really enjoy playing this game. But now we cant period.
Do not spend $ on this game! Atlantic Fleet is what Pacific Fleet should be! Play that game instead! Much better game.
We mainly made this to make sure people knew that 1. There are only 3 ships per faction and 2. Atlantic fleet is SOoOoOoOi much better with more ships better graphics and physics with exiting campaigns and modes we highly recommend Atlantic fleet lite and full over this garbage of a lite game.
Some controls and options are not accessible on the Xr, and therefor any X or Xs phones, because of their placement.
Great graphics but cant adjust heading.
You cant play this game on a iPhone X cause of the home button at the bottom its so annoying fix your games for other phones creator.
Cant control the user interface due to the window close white bar being on top of the controls.
