Ask anyone what their favourite parts of Assassinâs Creed IV were and if they donât tell you they were the parts where youâre on a giant ship then theyâre lying and are probably a terrible person.
Naval Action is all about tall ships with big guns, letting you sail the seas blowing splinters into the French, Americans, British, Spanish, whatever.
Taking place in an open sandbox world, itâs going to be released in three stages. First up will be multiplayer combat. Next will be more involved combat, with crews, boarding and ship upgrades. The final stage will be the full and proper game which, like Sid Meierâs Pirates!, will let you sail around conquering things and dabbling in more RPG-like pursuits.
On the surface itâs all very serious, with promises of accurate ship and physics modelling, though this isnât a strict simulation, as they want to make it more exciting than just sitting around waiting for the wind to change.
Naval Action is currently up on Steam Greenlight
