Carrier Commander Reviews

This game is HORRIBLE. It's about as user friendly as a user manual written in Chinese. It's boring, and it just... sucks...

this is not a very good game. carrier deck is still better than this. in 2023 this game is still unpolished and clunky. the concept is good but the developer clearly didnt think this all the way through. ive completed a few levels of this. but generally, every time i reinstall this game and give it another shot, i dislike it more than the last time i tried it and i uninstall it. its now about to be 2024 and all i can say is done waste your money. the game is now abandoned. told you so. call me a joker all you want but im absolutely right. lol kiss it.

This game has definitely turned out to be one of my better purchases as of late. The gameplay is engaging as you progress through various levels of difficulty and eventually unlock special missions, which are very different and add a great variety to your gameplay. I also like the way all upgrades in the game are available from the start but are limited by the amount of cash you have. Your cash builds through every level as you progress, so not spending it on unnecessary upgrades will assure a bigger cash amount to work with as the levels increase in difficulty. I have not yet gained the highest military rank yet, but all in good time. I have to say I am very impressed with what this solo developer has created and would highly recommend this game to anyone interested in military strategy games.

An attempt was made for sure... but nothing actually works. The concept is super cool though? Not worth playing. Go check out Carrier Command 2 though! If these 2 devs got together, they could really make something cool. Remember to eat all your beans, btw.

An absolute mess of a game that seems to have been abandoned. Even Carrier Deck is more polished. Includes such fun things like: -No map. -Being unable to automatically launch the helicopter to pick up downed pilots. -Being unable to use various controls while directly controlling anything (such as telling aircraft to land, upgrades, movement of the carrier and other units, etc). -Unable to switch back to the carrier unless the unit you're controlling is "close enough" to it. -Related to the last two, cannot access the in-game menu while directly controlling something. This snowballs into the issue of being unable to access the game's menu while directly controlling something. So if you need to use it while piloting a helicopter for instance, you have to fly all the way back to the carrier first. -Seemingly no control over launched aircraft aside from direct control (cannot tell aircraft to patrol near the carrier or to go out to engage enemies farther away). -Decoy aircraft? Seriously? -Hotkeys that do not work. The only interesting thing of note is a basic upgrade system. That's pretty much it. There's more but I'm just as done with this review as I am with this game. If you really want to play using an aircraft carrier, the Carrier Command games (Gaia Mission or Carrier Command 2 specifically) would be a better option. There's also Modern Warships and World of Warships for less detailed choices.

An interesting concept, but not one to spend money on, at least not 15 bucks. I'd wait for a 50% or greater sale before purchasing, the last update was two years ago and while it is certainly playable, it's like an old flash game where you wouldn't really put any effort into it, at least no more than the developer did.

Great game for the price, lots of upgrades for the various platforms providing a good mix of strategy and tactical action. The developer is very receptive to questions and suggestions for the game's development and has already added some great new features since its initial release including the ability to jump into an F18 to engage in air combat directly. You can equip the Hawkeye with sonar and radar and its very important to try and keep it well defended as its crucial to detecting enemy subs in particular which pose a great threat to the carrier, once detected you can order the destroyer to intercept these subsurface threats, so lots to keep you busy. The developer has great plans for the future of the game but it is already playable and enjoyable in its current early access state.

I don't make a ton of reviews but i feel the need to in this case I want to like this game and be able to play and enjoy it but when all the button inputs listed in the in game manual are all broken and unresponsive to the actual key press on the keyboard and being unable to even do the simple act of moving the camera with the left click of the mouse makes this just a flat kill joy to try and play I have sadly at this moment requested a refund I hope that this game comes to find those who are able to play and love it sadly as it currently is its not for me Thank you for your response ss and no i was using the number keys across the top of my keyboard not the numpad the only button that did anything for me was right click on mouse to reset the camera to north I'm using a PC with Windows 10 OS

I don't usually give reviews. But here goes. This game is a good concept. You manage assets on your aircraft carrier. Even if F16's don't belong on carriers, it's ok because it's simply a cosmetic thing. So, you play one of 15 scenarios that increase in difficulty and whose enemies change when you replay it. The map does not change, however. Still, not a bad replay value. So far, so good. As for game play it's mostly what you'd expect. You launch your assets to fight the enemies that come at you. Part of your response is also how to spend your earned (by destroying enemies and such) cash to meet the threat. Not exactly a sim but I like this. Nonetheless, I feel the game lacks engagement by the player because you can't give aircraft orders, such as CAP, air superiority or ASW. You also can't switch the cam to other units as it remains focused on the carrier with no way to switch to the views of other active units. I have communicated these issues with the dev and he agrees with most of it. Also, when I commented on the apparent ineffectiveness of torpedoes vs subs on the forums, he produced a patch to address it within 24 hours. Not bad. Right now, if you like games about carrier operations, which may be surprisingly more numerous than you may think they are, I'd give it a go. For me, I'm happy with the purchase and look forward to where this one might go.
