World Ship Simulator

World Ship Simulator is a simulator released on PC. It allows the player to taste the modern sea transport. The title was developed by Odin Games, a studio known for creating games like Better Late Than Dead and Enforcer: Police Crime Action.

Mechanics

World Ship Simulator for PC focuses on the modern civil sea transport. The game lacks any sea battles or other missions in which the player would use military fleets. The player assumes the role of a novice captain who only starts his adventure in the business. At first he has a modest ship, but after some time his hard work will allow him to create a sea transport empire. In addition to trading, the player must also complete many special missions, for example rescue operations or tours.

The oceans and seas on which the game takes place have open structure and nothing limits the freedom of the player. The career mode is the heart of the game. It allows the player to select tasks he is interested in and by completing them to gather experience and money. This enables the user to buy new ships and upgrade the ones he already posses, which then unlocks access to more profitable missions. The player must constantly manage the financial side of his business and fluently balance expenses with profits.

Managing the company is important, but the player will spend most of his time in the simulation module in which he personally controls the ships. This aspect of the game is focused on realism. Each unit has unique traits and controlling it requires using different techniques. Each member of the crew is controlled by an advanced artificial intelligence module. The player must manage the members of his crew. A dynamical weather system that impacts the sailing makes the game more interesting.

In addition to career mode, World Ship Simulator for PC offers a sandbox mode in which the player can freely sail with no objectives or missions.
