About the Game

Game Play

Work as a team launching weapons, reading sensors, and repairing your ship. The Captain will pilot and manage operations. Crew will spend their time at stations reading sensors, flipping switches, adjusting knobs and repairing equipment. You must find the enemy using sensors and optics. Fog of War will develop as contacts are lost and ship management tasks become chaotic.

Assets
The Destroyer is first ship in Assets series. Our Submarine will be the second. The Submarine is in Beta and available to test for purchasers. Each new Asset will accompany game modes that interact with all previous Assets. An Asset will be published as separate DLC. You can play in games without owning all Assets.

Multiplayer
Game is released in a staged rollout of servers. Asia located players should wait for server near them. Will update when new servers are added. USA servers are running Training to learn Destroyer operations. You will be attacking ship and submarine targets and avoiding torpedoes. The Match servers offer Destroyer vs Destroyer games.
