Harbor Shift
Read full descriptionHide full description
Run a complete vessel-control shift where every arrival needs a pilot, tug approach, inspection, cargo authorization, and departure clearance. The Harbor Control Desk tracks three live vessel cases at once. Watch individual deadlines, spend tug fuel on approaches, inspect manifests and storm lashings, authorize cargo work, and clear each departure in the correct order. Fog and storms alter findings. Late work accumulates delay, while every decision changes the shift's safety and throughput scores. Close a shift to receive a persistent graded report, then compare past performance in the Reports tab. The separate Operations tab adds cargo contracts, twelve ship routes, weather payouts, specialist hiring, facilities, and multi-shift progression. Features: - Five-stage vessel-control workflow - Concurrent deadlines and resource pressure - Weather-dependent inspection findings - Tug fuel, safety, delay, and throughput metrics - Persistent graded shift reports - Contracts, crew, and facility progression - Offline local save Harbor Shift is an offline single-player management game. There are no accounts, purchases, chat, user-generated content, or cloud saves.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Harbor Shift at none against Tactical Squads's 3. Tactical Squads's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
