Leviathan: Warships

The gameplay is good once you get used to it, personally I have no real problems with the controls. The graphics are good, with the big naval guns having a lot of weight to them. There isn't all that much single player content, and what there is really needs to be played coop anyway. Hopefully more will be added over time, but as it is I'd say it's currently worth the money.

Great little turn based time waster. Felt it has similarities to Frozen Synapse. The PC version could use a few extra tweaks in the controls to make it more friendly. The Tutorial was a bit brief, not explaining much of the game to you after 2 rounds. Overall enjoyable, single player is fun. Network is great but a bit laggy at the moment. In game store already has DLC's available. So this looks like a DLC explosion game (if that bothers you, think Magicka)

The game is decent... But that is it. Short and mediocre single player/ co op campaign, but one would be foolish to skip the multiplayer which is the games strongest point. It's a real blast. Full of release DLC, lag and a few bugs are other let downs of this game... But despite this I have found the game rather enjoyable. Just wish the game was more than it was. It could have been so much more.

I was definitely looking forward to this game since I have a big itch of the turn-based strategy variety however after playing an hour of this game it is clearly an iOS/Android port. Everything is controlled via click-and-drag with no right click shortcut menus, there are no hotkeys (besides space for commit) to speak of, the tutorial has you commit 2 turns before even allowing you to move and I have a sneaking suspicion that server side load makes committing moves even in the single-player tutorials incredulously slow (up to a minute in length) to the point of tearing my hair out. Playing offline is a lot more responsive and I managed to have some fun in single player campaign but offline mode is naturally quite limited and since you don't log in it doesn't save the progress you make to your warships account. As a PC game, I expected better of this. Shame on you.

Another game that releases with a (relatively) massive amount of Day 1 DLC. The product description, which once read that you could play "up to 3 factions and 11 ships" has been removed. Why? Because you can only play 1 faction and 3 ships for your $10. For another $4.50 each, you can by the other 2 factions. So, to actually get the game they advertise, you have to pay $20, not $10. This puts Paradox right up there with EA in terms of shady practices. Not something I ever expected from them, hence I bought it without waiting for a review. My mistake. Won't happen again, Paradox. For that matter, you won't ever get my money again without an apology for this product.
