But I love the game! ### 3/5 — It’s not bad BUT *2024-12-20, version 2.11* MOVE THE STEER AND AM HIGHER OR TO THE TOP I WANT TO BE ABLE TO PLAY BUT I CANT BC MY HOME BUTTON IS IN THE WAY SO PLEASE MOVE IT😭 ### 3/5 — Please fix comparability *2024-11-28, version 2.11* Please, make this work on iphone 12 and I will give you money for the full version ### 4/5 — Problem please read *2024-04-20, version 2.11* Can’t play controls to close to the home bar ### 3/5 — Great Game but Can’t Play it *2023-07-26* I used to have this game a long time ago and it is so much fun! But with the new iPhone home bar it makes the game unplayable because I can’t access the bar to turn the ships. The joke bar sits right on top of it. So 3 for the incredible gameplay I remember. Not 5 because I can no longer play it. ### 3/5 — Please address this problem *2023-06-27, version 2.11* Impossible to control because of the home bar please fix this ### 3/5 — Pacific Fleet (Lite) *2023-06-15, version 2.11* Typical of the "pay-for" videogames. Unless you PAY for the "full version" of this game, your submarine torpedoes will either veer-off and deliberately miss the target ship, or, if it's a direct-hit, it'll say: "dud torpedo". ### 2/5 — Can’t play properly *2022-09-05* You all need to update the game to allow iPhone 10 and up players to be able to turn the camera and our firing location. The white bar on the bottom of the screen interferes with our gameplay and we cannot play it properly. Please allow us to make the interface smaller. Best regards ### 4/5 — A little funky *2022-08-05, version 2.11* The torpedoes miss when I go head on the destroy the opposing ship but overall a good game ### 2/5 — Problem with the newer iPhone *2022-07-04, version 2.11* I love this game in the past and wanted to redownload it but the the iPhone that don’t have a home button it does allow me to move the ships or where I am fireing plz fix this as soon as y’all can I would love to enjoy thus game again ### 4/5 — Fun but there is a big problem *2022-06-01* I love this game and used to play it a lot, so I decided to re-download it and play it. Unfortunately on the iPhone 10 and above, the game is unplayable because the home button bar thing is right where the steering controls in the game are, I literally cannot play the game because the steering is right where the home bar is, and whenever I try to use the steering, it just closes the app. Please fix this, maybe by moving the steering controls higher up on the screen? ### 3/5 — Can’t use controls *2022-02-16, version 2.11* It’s a good game but it’s very outdated. Controls can’t be used on iPhones without the home button. Game is virtually unplayable with new iPhones unless it gets updated (which at this point seems unlikely) ### 1/5 — Can’t play on newer iPhones *2021-08-28, version 2.11* The bar on the bottom of the screen sits right where all the controls are, cannot get it removed to control your ship and completely makes this un playable ### 3/5 — Needs a remaster *2021-08-15* Was great back in the day, but is now outshined by Atlantic fleet. With new game mechanics, content, and graphics, I’d play this again ### 1/5 — Controls don’t work. *2021-07-18, version 2.11* Can’t turn the ship or guns because the slider to bring up the Home Screen is in the way. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste of 3 minutes *2026-07-09, version 2.11* Dont even waste your time, buttons dont work because it was made by lazy people ### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD. *2025-09-05, version 2.11* Rangefinding is nonexistent, controls are hypersensitive and CPU enemy vessels suffer literally no damage even when shot by broadsides at point blank range and are always accurate despite random variables. Atlantic Fleet is a far superior game but even that has major issues. I would say this and the full version are definitely unfinished projects ### 1/5 — Does not work now *2024-11-02* I can’t a my guns because of the bottom of the screen. ### 1/5 — NOT WORKING *2024-05-10, version 2.11* How about resetting both lite and full versions back to the ones that function? Sliders fail to work at all, so player can’t direct movement of ships let alone aim weapons. Pull the game if you won’t update it. ### 1/5 — Campaign *2023-08-17, version 2.11* Hurry up and add a campaign and Pls 🥺 add war on the sea to IPad ### 1/5 — Game Unplayable on Newer iOS devices *2023-07-13, version 2.11* I’ve played this game for countless hours on PC and was excited to see it was available on mobile. Unfortunately, the game is unplayable on newer iOS devices. The white bar at the bottom of apps restricts the ability to aim weapons and steer your ship. ### 1/5 — Was once a great game! *2023-06-28, version 2.11* The current version has the steering bar overlaying the tool bar. So you can not steer or aim anything. This once was the best sim program out there but without being able to steer or aim it’s just junk. ### 1/5 — Unplayable. *2022-08-28, version 2.11* Y’all put the aim bar next to the home bar on IPhones so you can’t aim. Meaning you can’t play the game. Congratulations. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Make full version free! *2022-07-17, version 2.11* The full version needs to be free, because the lite version is old and less fun to play. The full version provides more levels, you can actually turn the ships, and there are islands. Please make full Version free! ### 1/5 — Literally Unplayable *2022-04-23, version 2.11* All controls are grouped right next to the switch tabs slider on an iPhone. Can’t access most of the controls on the game, rendering it unplayable. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — You can do a kamalilze *2024-04-16, version 2.11* TENNO HEIKA BANZAI *waves katana* YEAHHHHHHHH IMA GO ON AIRPLANE CALLED OHAKA AND I KILL ME FOR JAPAN EMPROR ### 5/5 — Demo for the best mobile naval combat game *2022-03-29, version 2.11* This is basically a free demo for the full version of the game, Pacific Fleet. So definitely give this a try before you buy the full game. The following is my review for the full game, all of which applies to the demo as well. The only difference is that the demo only has a fraction of the missions and not all of the ships. This is by far my favorite naval combat mobile game. This is a turn based game that does a better job of making you feel immersed than most real-time naval games. The animations, while not stunning from a technical perspective (though they still look great) really nail the realistic look of naval battles. Apart from shells in flight (which are made more visible so you can actually see them), everything looks like what it would in real life. And while moves are done in turns, the animations are at realistic speeds. This means, for example, a sinking ship may still be visible through multiple turns, depending on how long you take. Because while the ship counts as sunk from a gameplay perspective, the animation moves in real time rather than being turn based, keeping it immersive. Other animations have realistic speeds too, such as dive bomber making its attack run. Even the anti-aircraft fire looks tremendous. Little details like this really make this game special to me. But what about the gameplay itself? Well, let me first say that you’ll want to read through the guides before playing, and read through them again after playing your first few missions. The manual provides everything you need to know, but there is no real tutorial. I made it all the way through my first campaign without reading the manual, so it can be done. But you’ll miss so much. For example, I wasn’t sure why I was getting such varied readings on my radar for one of my ships, but not the other. I wasn’t sure if the damage done to specific meters on the enemy ship was randomized or calculated based on where the ship was hit. I thought it was a bug that readings sometimes didn’t match what was actually occurring. I didn’t realize that selecting “scuttle all ships” was not simply an “exit battle” button, and actually had significant consequences! It never occurred to me that there were hidden and sometimes hardened weak points such as hangars and magazines. And I didn’t even notice that you could see where a ship was flooding based on its visible list, and that this reflected where you had damaged it! There are SO many hidden mechanics in this game that make it more fun, realistic, and immersive. I recommend reading the manual so that you understand how to use them to your advantage. Finally, this is just a straight up game. No nonsense micro transactions, no ads, no subscriptions, no signing up for an account on another site, none of the annoying stuff that has become almost ubiquitous in modern games. Now this game isn’t perfect. I’ve encountered one or two minor bugs, the ship selection UI is a bit clumsy and counter-intuitive, but these are minor nitpicks. The fact is, this is the first mobile game I’ve played in years that I was actually excited about. I actually looked forward to getting off work just so that I could play some more. That alone would earn it five stars for me. Of course, I did not have high expectations when I downloaded this game, so that influenced my experience. I do hope that my high praise does not affect your experience! Note: I have not tried the multiplayer yet ### 5/5 — Well worth it *2021-12-21* Yes,the aiming technology is dodgy,but it’s quite a good game altogether. Torpedos do go off coarse, but there’s a modification for that. I also quite like the whole premise of the game. ### 5/5 — Full game *2021-06-20* Please make the full version free because the game is old and also killer fish games make certain things cost money not every thing like maybe let’s say the atomic bomb in multiplayer or the Osaka kamakizi and mayby certain ships but not Yamato or the us counterpart and maybe certain carriers if there are multiple supper carriers then maybe make one on each side cost something ### 5/5 — Can you please add *2020-12-24* Can you add more ships and countrys like britan Canada Australia New Zealand please. Over all great game and keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — iPadでの感想 *2020-12-03* うん神ゲー それよりiPhone X勢が主砲回せないのは本当です ### 5/5 — iPhone10だと主砲が回せない！！！ *2020-12-01* iPhone10はスライドしてアプリを閉じるのでそのスライドが反応してプレイ出来ません！対応してくれたら課金も考えるのですが… ### 5/5 — Old but fun! *2020-07-09, version 2.11* I’ve played this game for about 5 years but stil never get tired of it ### 5/5 — Please please!!!!! Return the game so I can play it again!!!!! *2020-04-10* Please ### 5/5 — これです 俺が求めてたのはこれ。 *2020-04-06* 無料でこのリアルさは神 やっときながら文句言う奴はやるな。 楽しんでる俺たちに迷惑。 運営さん頑張れ！ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
