Tutorials – In-game tutorials and exams help you to grasp the basics and the subtleties of gunnery and maneuvering. Deliver cargo or passengers, hunt specific ships, join patrol zones battles and sink as many ships as you can. Use shallow waters at your advantage to escape from larger ships.Īdmiralty missions – Accomplish missions for your Admiralty to earn doubloons, combat medals and reward chests. Board ships and sell them and their cargo at nearby ports. Trading and privateering – Buy trading goods at low prices, haul them to distant places for high profits. Peace servers are perfect for friendly peaceful gameplay. There are no port battles and conquest, piracy or privateering. Relax on Peace Server - All nations are at peace and players cannot attack each other in Peace servers. When fighting in Naval action you can be sure you are only facing skills and ship fittings. Yes - you have heard it right: there is a special server that calculates and replicates waves to all users in battle. Every battle action is calculated on the servers, even water and wave shapes. Naval Action is one of the few games where hacking is made impossible by design. We are very proud to say that we have succeeded. From the start we have build the tech around one main goal - complete elimination of hacking from PVP. Broadside weight matters, but even a smaller vessel can overcome the superior enemy by focusing on the enemy weak spots. Just like in boxing you have to get close and use all your tactical knowledge of wind, your ship to slug it out face to face. Invite other clans of your nation into your alliance.Īge of sail combat is a personal affair with no dirty tricks, corner camping, or hiding in bushes: you see the enemy from 20km and so do they. Invest to turn your controlled ports into industrial hubs, shipbuilding arsenals or fortified harbours. Open trading outposts and levy taxes in the ports governed by your clan. Build ships, trade, attack enemies of your nation almost everywhere and capture their ships. The game features 50+ ships from small cutters to large 100+ gun 1st rates allowing the player to experience every possible role of that era.įight on War Server – Fight for the domination of the West Indies, recreated based on 18th Century maps and navigational charts. Accurate hull models, sail plans, guns, internal upgrades, historical speed trials were used in the creation of vessels. No game has come closer to the replication of the Age of Sail sailing mechanics and combat.īeautiful ships – We have been painstakingly recreating the beautiful ships of the Age of sail period. Naval Action is a hardcore, realistic, and beautifully detailed naval combat game immersing players into the experience of the most beautiful period of naval history - when sailing ships ruled the seas. See you along the Spanish Main, shipmates. The base game is $40, but the scary part is that there is already $160 worth of DLC (ships, flags, customization options) that you can buy into if you're obviously insane. Game-Labs says a road map of post-launch content is coming soon. They should go ahead and pay YouTuber "Sir John" for the video appearing in this post, since it starts to capture the spirit of Naval Action's gameplay. I'm looking forward to stepping in again, despite this looking like a stealth launch with zero marketing and not even a launch trailer from the devs. I'd checked it out in early access maybe a year ago. But if you're playing with the vanilla ships, Naval Action is basically in Iron Man mode at all times, where a loss means you really lose your stuff. If you bought one of those special DLC ships, then you can keep respawning that ship indefinitely when you're sunk. There are two servers, though: War and Peace. But that doesn't necessarily ease the hit to the pocketbook when the devs also create special DLC ships at $10 and $15 a pop that will devastate other ships in both PvE and PvP combat. "When fighting in Naval Action you can be sure you are only facing skills and ship fittings." Which is good to know. We're talking golden age sailing ships, the nautical equivalent of close-quarters combat, and even calculated water and wave shapes.ĭeveloper Game-Labs also claims that hacking is made impossible by design, with every battle action calculated on their servers. This is everything I love about Naval Action, a realistic 18th century Age of Sail naval combat simulator. Vast stretches of empty blue sea in the West Indies.
