Warship Gunner's gameplay is made up of two distinct parts. Upon arriving on an alternate version of Earth, you find yourself caught up in a conflict between a global empire and a resistance movement, and you quickly align yourself with the freedom fighters and begin to carry out missions that will help subvert the world's oppressors. You're the commander of a battleship that's been sucked through an interdimensional portal while patrolling the high seas. What we could glean of the story in Naval Ops: Warship Gunner from the mostly Japanese cinematics is interesting, if a bit strange. Naval Ops: Warship Gunner is very action-oriented.
The game is still going through the localization process-the build we received still contains some Japanese text, and none of the dialogue has been recorded in English-but from what we've seen so far, Naval Ops: Warship Gunner will present a deep and involving experience for strategy action fans.
Warship Gunner follows Koei's style in that its story and setting are historically based, though loosely, and its gameplay mixes action with a good deal of strategic depth and customization options. Naval Ops: Warship Gunner is a new tactical naval combat game from the folks at Koei, the makers of such strategy and action games as Dynasty Warriors and Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
