PT Boats: Knights of the Sea Reviews

Do not buy this game it is no fun to play. There is no manual available and I understand that the manual when it was available was a large one. The in game tutorial is useless as it can no be paused to allow u to recap on the instructions given. The instructions given are really poor to It a shame that the whole thing has been made over complicated and no fun to play

Turning left or right using A and D is not working. Pretty poor. Would have expected better. Maybe some one can let me know how to fix this.

The game could be really cool - and honestly isn't that bad when you get it to work. Do direct x 9 and you may get it to work for a while but it hard locked my computer after playing for a few minutes.

this is a must have for any WW2 navy geeks..ultra realistic, tough missions, great graphics, detailed modelling. I recommentd the Pt BOAT gold pack as both original and expansion are worth the price at $14.99

This game has had loads of unjustified complaints or maybe my very straight forward Win 7x 64 bit with lots of ram and quad core p.c. is just the perfect diet for the game because it looks beautiful,is bug free so far and oddly has a particularly strong "being really there " feeling.Plus it's on Steam's summer sale and the gold Version is dirt cheap during the sale.Ok it's tough going and sadly I'm yet to torpedo anything but that's more down to my blundering than some torpedoic bug.Controls are wonderfully easy and superbly functional : you want to bang off a few rounds at some nearby nautical bad guys push "1" or '2" and you are in the gunners position.Fire discipiline is required as the guns will overheat.Push "3 " and you are back in control of the boat. Sounds arcade but that certainly isn't the feel.Watching your radar and seeing fast approaching red blips "E boats!" is a real buzz. This is a pretty hard game as was I would imagine things were back in the day. The ships and boats are nicely done, the sea,a little too permanently calm looks good,and the light is very well done. This is,I think a very good game.....

The game play is ok and the graphics are nice but the tutorial is quite complicated as it doesnt hint at what you need to press.

Mouse doesn't stay inside the game and I have two monitors, so the mouse pointer comes out onto my secondary monitor and if I click while it's outside the game, it minimizes. Annoying, but not all that problematic. Until you try to go back into the game and it crashes, that is. Tried the sequel, same thing. I can't play this game because I'm not going to unplug my secondary monitor just to play it. Refund request issued because honestly these games (I got the bundle) isn't even worth the $2 USD and change I spent since I can't play it due to this little bug.

Really unplayable, campaign is really bad and UI was designed by someone who clearly was having a stroke at the time. Really poor for a game even from 2009, Such a shame as it clearly at one time had a lot of potential. Bought it on sale for 99p. Would not reccomend buying this for more than £1/1$/1€.

A nice game. First the problems: Many users have compatibility issues. In my case I use Win 8.1 64X with an AMD card, I tried the demo in the page of the editor however, I was unable to make it work, fortunately a user in the forums posted the link to the proper driver, I installed it (no rocket science) and the demo ran perfectly. http://steamcommunity.com/app/10250/discussions/0/846954921855418513/ If you are interested in this game try the demo first, if it does not work please check the forums Now the game features. There are 3 tutorial missions, and 54 missions in campaign. Weserübung: 1940, 5 missions, Germany and Great Britain. English Channel: 1940, 5 missions, Germany and Great Britain. Cold Waters: 1943, 4 missions, Germany and Soviet Union. Land under sight: 1944, 4 missions, Soviet Union. Routine service: 5 missions, Germany, Allies and Soviet Union. Bonus missions: 2 missions, Germany, Allies and Soviet Union. You control a PT Boat, you can change stations, artillery, machine guns, torpedo launcher and helmsman. You will have control of other ships, minesweepers, destroyers, etc however you can only take the helmsman role you can't directly fire their weapons. A nice variety of missions, attack convoys, defend convoys, collect intel, search and attack bases, etc. Some missions are very short maybe 10-15 minutes and others can reach 1 hour, you can't save in the middle of the missions so be careful. If you like Battlestations Midway/Pacific, take a look at this game.

Mixed bag this one. At a price of 9,99€ i can not recommend it but if you can get it for a couple of euros it's definitely worth it. 2-5 euros is the price point i'd give to this game that Akella left a bit too rough on the edges. Good: - Sometimes you get the 'being there' feeling. - Skirmishes around a convoy can be epic as you try to struggle your way through - Looks pretty good though forget DirectX10. doesnt work for anyone. i play with 9.0c settings. - Detailed guns and boats and crew. - Good enough UI once you learn it's quirks. - Good enough and fun enough management of destroyers and other ships under your command if you got any. - Good looking smoke - when it decides to stay visible. Bad - UI is rough in the corners. also forget about modern day markers telling you exactly what to do - instead listen closely what the instructions are and follow them - or try to work yourself around them. (i.e. go to sector G-7 and look for a convoy - how about going north of that and trying to look there first where they might be heading) - Damage models - i dont understand what determines who wins and who loses fights between PT boats. sometime crew fly around after direct hit. sometimes you can dump a lot of ammo on an enemy and still go down with the fishes. - Better like restarting missions all the time. Allies first mission took me some 10 tries. (mission does randomize convoy consists (?) and locations a bit so every mission is slightly different even if you retry the same mission over again). - Missions are locked and you can only advance through the hard way - Hard to say how much content there really is here - 3 tutorials in the beginning though that you really should do.
