CARRIER BATTLES 4 GUADALCANAL is a classic hex-and-counter wargame covering the naval-air battles during the Pacific War in 1942-1943 Review by Pocket Tactics " Overall Carrier Battles 4 Guadalcanal is a solid WW2 naval wargame built around a great interface. It’s a realistic simulation that is accessible and fun, retaining depth while not letting the player get bogged down in menus or decisions.

Any known fix for this ? ### 5/5 — One of the best naval games on iOS *2026-01-22, version 4.5* Good game with extra dlc options ### 5/5 — Excellent game *2025-02-16, version 4.5* Very enjoyable game, the AI plays hard ball and you have to be very competent to beat it, very satisfying when you do! Highly recommend! ### 1/5 — You little jerk! *2024-11-10, version 4.5* You disable being able to play this after having paid real money for it! That is low life and unethical to force me to buy the nee app! I’ll never by your Napoleon. I’ll never do business with the likes of you! ### 1/5 — Not a game *2024-09-14, version 4.5* When you buy this you don’t buy a game . You buy a platform for Microtransactions. I can’t even play one mission without them asking for another .99 cents. What did I pay $5 for ? ### 4/5 — STUPID A LITTLE *2024-04-24, version 4.5* your dumb but addictive game is too hard dummies ### 5/5 — 什么时候更新 *2023-11-13* 如标题 ### 4/5 — Multiplayer option freeze *2023-05-06* Love the single player game, and purchased the multiplayer option only to have it freeze on the player profile page and refuse to move forward. ### 5/5 — 关于后续希望可以更新的细节 *2022-10-01* 希望下一个版本能自定义战役功能，意思是能自定义编辑地图大小、自定义编辑设计机场位置、自定义设计船只初始地和任意船只类型，包括自定义船只配置（火控雷达、对海雷达、防空雷达、船只等级…）、新的战役（莱特湾、硫磺等海战）、新的舰船（潜艇）。 开发者们加油哦💪 ### 4/5 — 推荐！但有瑕疵！ *2022-09-30* 明明发现了敌方位置，攻击机群都放出去了，下一个回合目标不见了可以理解，但是再下一个回合目标却在四五个格子外是几个意思？可以解释一下吗？ ## Frequently asked questions about Carrier Battles 4 Guadalcanal ### What is Carrier Battles 4 Guadalcanal?
