World of Warships Blitz
Action 18 January 2018
Developed by Wargaming, World of Warships Blitz is an action game allowing the player to participate in online naval battles fought by mighty warships, mainly from the period of World War II. The game is based on a free-to-play model with optional microtransactions. During the development process, the members of Wargaming wanted to create a simpler version of World of Warships (available on PC / Windows), which would be more suitable for the nature of mobile gaming. The gameplay is less complex, while the battles are much more dynamic - this combined with smaller maps and teams makes each battle last no longer than 10 minutes; nonetheless, the game has retained a degree of realism. The ships are heavy, slow, and not very maneuverable. All the units feature elaborate damage mechanics. Fighting long distance battles requires a lot of effort. All this makes for a tactical experience - instead of those with best reflexes, players who can plan several steps ahead are bound to succeed.

Action 17 September 2015
After World of Tanks and World of Warplanes, Wargaming.net (the company also known for strategy games like Massive Assault, Galactic Assault, and Order of War) brings us yet another MMO. Similarly to its predecessors, the game allows us to participate in the various armed conflicts of the twentieth-century; this time, commanding our own warship. The authors reproduced an impressive number of actual vessels with great attention to detail, taking into account not only their appearance but also firepower and numerous technical parameters. Furthermore, in order to diversify the gameplay, the creators introduced an option that enables ship modifications, adding a strategic aspect to the game. The mechanics focus around proven patterns, typical of online games and aimed primarily at competition and cooperation between players in one of several game modes available. It’s also possible to set up clans and player rankings. The in-game economy system is shared between all games in the series.
