If you can already find Bugs in the Game menu and it also looks so confusing and bad, you have no Good idea for the Game behind it: Screenshot The Controls can only be learned live in a Multiplayer game. You look for a Single Player Mode in vain. After All, there are small Text Boards that are supposed to bring you closer to the Controls and due to lack Of players, all The servers I found empty, I was able to try it out in Peace. But not everything is explained.
The First thing you get into is a Flight Glider, which then automatically takes you to one of your own flying Gunboats. There you can either take the Wheel of repairing ship, passing on Coordinates of the enemies to the Pilot, shooting down the Enemies with your own Weapon or getting behind one of the Cannons.
The Controls are very spongy and the Feedback on Actions is hardly present. For example, if you shoot down one of the Onboard Cannons, the Lung burns down for a few Seconds before the Ball makes its Way to the Target. In time, it's mostly out of Shot range again.
At the Wheel, I didn't manage To keep ship in the Air. No Explanation of what to do and no Explanation as to whether I was shot down or was just unable to steer the Ship properly.
No active Player says a lot about the Game. I quickly passed the Desire to Play.

I remember that I got the Game when it was brand new, so new at the time that hardly anything was going on on the Servers and you basically played 1 vs. 1. So I thought to wait and see and stop by again later. From later I became much later and so I just thought to myself "I'm going to do it Times ne Runde."
Looking for a Game, I found just 2 Servers, one in the US and the other in Europe, where there were 3 Players on it from Europe, on the USA only one. The crass thing is: It's 20:00 in Germany, I thought that some Players should be found, but that's where my Impression was clouded.
But to the Game, which is basically quite simple. You fly up on your Ship and use the Cannons to cancel enemy Ships. Alternatively, you can grab your own Ship directly at the Pier. If you are Lucky and get close enough to the enemy Ships you can also jump over and fight with your Sword or throw Grenades at the enemy Ship. Everything is quite funny, if people were really playing it. During my Game I played a 1 vs. 1 and got all sorts of achievements in the Game after the Round, because I was just the best Of everything. Most Damage, the furthest Shot, etc. Is also easy if you are the only one. In the second Round I had a Comrade-in-arms on my Side who liked it more to block my View than anything else.
So With that Experience, I would say it's got the Game behind it. The Graphics and the Movement were not pretty anyway, the Game principle rather ridiculously simple than somehow sophisticated. What I mean by this: It has its reason why there are hardly any players left, which is also a pity, because although I fault the game and give a Thumbs down I enjoyed the two Rounds, at least in the Approach, I could imagine with A 32 Man server that is full, it is much funnier. But that will probably no longer happen.
But There are also STEAM Games that I like [mediennerd.de]
