Capital J Media has released the first trailer for its upcoming World War II naval strategy game, Battle Fleet 2. The turn-based title puts players in charge of a naval task force on a mission to destroy an enemy gun battery, and allows them to choose from various ship classes and weapon loadouts.
The original Battle Fleet was released on the Mac App store back in 2012. The sequel offers improved graphics, fully modeled ships with structural weak points to target, and a ”campaign conquest mode”.
Battle Fleet 2 is currently on Steam Greenlight, but Capitol J say it’s set for a full release this month on PC, iOS and Mac. Here the full list of features the developers are promising:
