Sea Battle 2009

About

In Sea Battle, players must successfully invade the home port of their opponent while protecting their own ports from invasion. Game play takes place in an island-dotted ocean, with one player's home port at the lower-left corner of the screen and the other player's home port at the upper-right corner. Each player has access to thirteen naval vessels representing eight different ship types.[2] The player may organize these ships into smaller fleets, with a maximum of three ships per fleet and four fleets active at one time. Single-ship fleets are permitted, while larger fleets may not have two ships of the same type in one fleet. When fleets are deployed, the first ship selected as part of the fleet becomes its flagship.

What is happening now

Sea Battle is a strategy and tactical game originally released for Atari 2600 and Intellivision in 1980. The franchise has since evolved with World of Sea Battle, an open-world MMO currently in early access that transposes the naval combat concept into a multiplayer setting. The new entry is built around Age of Sail-era naval warfare and supports both player-versus-environment and player-versus-player combat modes. The indie project represents a notably direct approach to the MMO label, abandoning the typical hedging language around online multiplayer ambitions that often accompanies early access releases.
