The money earned can also be used to develop technology in five areas: aircraft, weapons, metallurgy, engines, and electronics. The points go toward crew promotions, while the money can be used to purchase ship parts from boat hulls to weapons, armor, and equipment. As missions are completed, the player earns points and money. In the Normal mode, more advanced technology is available, including science fiction weapons like lasers and wave guns.Īt the beginning of the game, the player is given command of a generic destroyer.

In the World War II mode, technologies available will be mostly consistent with what was available to World War II-era warships. The player can also choose to play the Normal mode or the World War II mode. The choice of nationality affects the available ship types and characteristics of the ship parts which become available to the player throughout the game. The player can choose between four nationalities: American, British, Japanese, and German. Upon rendezvous with friendly forces, later identified as the Freedom Forces, the crew decides to join them in the war against the Empire. The first mission of the game revolves around navigating a destroyer to safety while being bombarded by unidentified ships. In the opening cutscene, a World War II-era destroyer is caught in a dimension-warping vortex and transported to a parallel universe where the technology level is the same (although science-fiction weapons such as rail guns are available), but the world is at war between two main factions, the Empire and the Freedom Forces.

The game is a one-player simulation of naval combat, in which the player commands an individual ship.
