Carrier Command 2

Carrier Command 2 is a simulation and strategy game where we play the role of an admiral commanding a futuristic aircraft carrier. It is the second part of the series initiated in 1988. It was developed by Geometa studio, while its release was handled by MicroProse, reactivated in 2019.

Plot

In Carrier Command 2 we find ourselves on a vast archipelago engulfed in conflict. As commanders of a powerful aircraft carrier, we conduct warfare aimed at taking control of the entire area, island by island.

Mechanics

In Carrier Command 2, the main part of the gameplay takes place on board an aircraft carrier. From a first person perspective (FPP), we give orders to land, air and flying units, using computers, radars and other specialized equipment. By correctly interpreting the data provided by devices monitoring the immediate vicinity, we can observe gaps in the enemy's defenses or detect other weak points in his forces.

Each unit has its own strengths, so the key to success is to manage them in such a way that they complement each other on the battlefield. If our tactics prove to be successful, over time we will begin to take control of other islands. These islands are rich in valuable resources and in order to ensure constant access to them we have to protect them after a successful conquest and do our best to prevent enemies from breaking the supply line.

In addition, this game allows us to take direct control over any unit and take part in operations on the frontline ourselves.

Game modes

Carrier Command 2 allows you to play solo or in multiplayer based on cooperation or rivalry.

Technical aspects

The graphic design of Carrier Command 2 does not impress. However, we do like the attention to detail with which the deck of the aircraft carrier, full of interactive elements, was designed.
