![]() I've played more complex and immersive sims on the iPad. European Ship Simulator is a disaster at the price it is asking. ![]() Wrong again, and that brings me to my conclusion. To spice things up, I tried the cruise liner. Additionally, the reaction of the boat to the choppy water felt so unauthentic that it made me feel like the developers included this irritation just to force me to press the A and D keys a whole bunch of times and not fall asleep. On my way, I clipped through just about every bit of ocean, I was practically a submarine. A speedboat mission! My objective was to drive my speedboat to a yacht and pick up a rich lady in distress. You simply float to the next arrow and you're done. There is no complicated mooring procedure either once you get to your destination. The physics aren't perfect but I can get passed it. The massive tanker's front end would dip inappropriately into the sea while towing, which was weird. This easy process connects the two balloons together with a rope, instantly. All I had to do was select one of my ballons, and click on the balloon from the ship I would be towing. That, unfortunately, was about all there was to be impressed by.ĭropping the tug was a simple press-this-button, which displays a bunch of balloons around your boat. The tug boat itself was sufficiently detailed and breaking into open sea from the harbor was satisfying, the choppiness kicked up and there seemed to be correct current physics to deal with. You have a short selection of "Missions" along side a mission editor. I've completed 4 of the missions so far, successfully I might add, and it wasn't challenging at all. Unfortunately, with European Ship Simulator, what you get is a shallow experience at best without any campaign mode, meaningful objectives, or even a sense of immersion to say the least. Arguably, there was an effort by the Euroboat team to make it appear that way. I know you won't, but that'd be the right thing to do.įirst, European Ship Simulator was not created by the same development team that brought you Eurotruck Simulator. on this one.ĭevs - feel free to credit my account for my $20. Now that it is a real release, I can only call B.S. I was suckered in by the decent reviews that were likely posted with this being an "early access" game in mind. I haven't played a ton so far, because it is frankly frustrating to play. ![]() The controls are poorly implemented, in that you can't easily reset them to "0" by adjusting them left or right, as you do to increase the throttle. Other ships in the harbor will run right into you, even if you run your horn. I absolutely love sim games (days of play time on ETS2), but this is a huge disappointment. And changing the video settings doesn't seem to do anything for me.Īdditionally, the gameplay is, well. ![]() The frame rate is just horrid (sub 10fps). It doesn't struggle with any games I play - except this one. Not a monster computer, but a 6 core 4.2ghz machine with an AMD R9 200 series video card and 8gb of RAM. But, maybe I can help you save a few hard earned dollars). ![]()
