And yet, I remained mired in that misplace impression as I went on to judge what I was looking at. That should have been obvious all along but, for me, it just wasn’t. Victory At Sea Ironclad is nothing like Atlantic Fleet. I am not going to be buying the Early Access because, still, I’m not that interested it getting into the period and because I’ve finally realized how confused I’ve been all along.

Having now gone through the full demo bit, I thought I’d quickly jot down my impressions. Should Ironclad strike your fancy, the full game (such as it is) is also out in Early Access for a full purchase price. Said demo consists (unless I am missing something) of a number of tutorial scenarios to give a sense of game play without giving away too much of the game. The game, downloaded, remained unplayed.Īs the months ticked by, I figured I probably ought to just give the demo a try, while the whole “beta” thing was still relevant. Of course, this makes no sense… but I am, as I explained, confused.Įven still, and as I also said, I wasn’t in the mood for Civil War simulation. Grabbing the demo of Victory At Sea Ironclad seemed like an easy way to check out what’s new with War on the Sea without the commitment of buying into the new product. I found it a little odd that the demo/Early Access of a new game would come out simultaneously with the full release of the the latest completed game, but I didn’t question it. I’m reading the two Pacific War titles ( War on the Sea and Victory At Sea Pacific) as interchangeable as the same product. Now, imagine yourself as confused as I was at this point.
With the new title, it explains, the development team is deliberately releasing a beta product so as to shape the development process. Victory At Sea Ironclad, the Steam store entry explains, was intended to improve on the development and release process that may have hurt Victory At Sea Pacific. From the Pacific you go to the Atlantic and also back in time to the American Civil War. In this case, they are moving their focus in both time and place. So similar that I got confused (point #2) between the two titles.Īs it turns out, the developers of Victory At Sea Pacific are also working on a new title, also released in February of 2021 (can I be forgive for at least some of my confusion?). Simply comparing screenshots, the two games look pretty similar. Victory At Sea Pacific has been out since September of 2018 (for reference, not quite as long as Cold Waters) and, perhaps obviously, covers the same ground as War on the Sea. Somewhere in all of this, though, I got confused with another title.
Again, not a particular era in which I’m interested in at the moment. War on the Sea is a title that, like Atlantic Fleet, is set in World War II but moves the action to the Pacific. Thinking that I just might pick them up at a promotional discount, I realized I already owned them both. I wasn’t too keen on buying into the brand-new, full-priced release but I did notice that there were two prior titles Atlantic Fleet and the cold-war themed Cold Waters.
Steam had been pushing the game War on the Sea, newishly-released in February of 2021. If you read about my experience with Atlantic Fleet, you noticed that I began with a discovery. As it turns out, that fit had more to do with my own confusion than anything else – but so does so much else that goes on in my life. Although I wasn’t particularly interested in shifting my game playing to that particular era Victory At Sea, nonetheless, seemed to fit well within what I was doing. This was a still-in-development title of (if not obvious) American Civil War sea combat which had been out for the better part of the year. Back when I was engaged in the playing of Atlantic Fleet, I added * to my Steam library a demo of a game called Victory At Sea Ironclad.
