In World of Warships, you take control of a ship or ships in real-time battle primarily against other players. You progress through various missions, unlock new ships, and learn to battle other players of equal skill. The game's progression elements feature no easy ways to get ahead, like paying to unlock ships: it's all about skill and patience.

A Strict Format, A Strict Game

Missions progress from bronze to silver and beyond, and though many ships are comparable with one another, the ships you start with will eventually be replaced. As this happens, you'll likely lose to other players, quite often, and learn more about the game. Unlocking new content requires that you improve at the game, so its learning curve is sharper than it could otherwise be. On the other hand, the game's depth of play and graphics make the experience rewarding, especially by mobile game standards.

War Or Peace

Overall, players who like other real-time war games a lot will love this one, and it has few equals on mobile platforms. Players who want something more casual, or players with poor phones or online connections, should look elsewhere. Those who're undecided should watch or read about the game, then take the plunge.
