World of Warships Blitz

The AND and iOS release of World of Warships Blitz is an action game allowing one to participate in online naval battles. The game is based on a free-to-play model with optional microtransactions. It has been developed by Wargaming, also known for creating World of Tanks Blitz for mobile devices, as well as World of Tanks and World of Warplanes available on PC / Windows.

Mechanics

The game is a spin-off of World of Warships available on PC / Windows, which changes gameplay mechanics to fit the nature of mobile gaming - the same way as World of Tanks Blitz adjusted the mechanics of World of Tanks.

The AND and iOS release of World of Warships Blitz is an action game in which players participate in online battles featuring warships mainly from the period of World War II. Up to 14 players divided into two teams can fight simultaneously. Gameplay builds on pure combat and revolves around competing for territories taken over by entering them and holding specific fragments of the map. The game is designed in such way that a single match does not take longer than 10 minutes.

Even though gameplay features simpler mechanics that the PC / Windows counterpart, World of Warships Blitz is not a stale game. Ships are powerful but heavy. Achieving high velocities takes a lot of time and the swift change of direction is practically impossible. Moreover, battles are fought on long distances, thus one should aim not at the enemy unit directly, rather at the spot the where a unit is soon about to be. All the units feature realistic damage system, in which particular sections of a ship get damaged affecting the vessel in a different way, while a player often has to tend to the damage, e.g. by putting down a fire. All this makes for a great tactical experience.

Technical aspects

The game features attractive visuals with their strongest assets lying in the polished unit models and water simulation that is pleasing to one’s eye.
