It's the best naval game with lots of features, the campaign is very limited though.

Ultimate Admiral: Age of Sail has a lot to offer. While it doesn't offer a historical re-enactment, this game sets the standard for realism in Age of Sail sea battles against which future games will be compared. The combined land and sea battles (as well as the land-only and sea-only engagements) are very enjoyable and the harder missions offer a satisfying challenge. Being able to customise ships and land units is a fantastic feature. The game offers many different classes of ship - for example, the game's frigates include two classes of corvettes (small frigates), four classes of middle-sized frigates, and three classes of heavy frigates (or four classes of heavy frigates, if you have the Barbary War DLC, in the Barbary campaign). I particularly enjoy capturing the different types of ships, improving their guns and equipment as well as the skills of their crews and officers, and seeing how they perform in battle. While the game has limitations - such as the absence of multiplayer and the lack of a sandbox campaign - there is replayability as you try out different ships and tactics. Despite the shortcomings, I enjoy this game a lot. I enjoy experiencing some of the challenges which historical naval commanders faced in this era, If you enjoy Age of Sail tactics and battles, and if you'd like the opportunity to capture ships, re-fit them and use them in action, this game is highly recommended.

One of the only age of sail games that doesn't disappoint. Mixes the best aspects of total war naval into the ship combat and adds in ultimate general ground battles for a campaign that is truly unique and worth playing. Definitively the best game in their catalog and it seems american revolution won't live up to it sadly.

I was saluting to the screen of my computer as my frigate was sinking. It was my flagship. It has been traded for victory in a battle so hard that I did not even consider restarting. I hesitated a lot before buying this game. I was wrong, I regret my hesitation. This is currently the best game about tall warships. It is way better than any of the Total War naval combat and much deeper than Naval Action or Sea Dogs I'll compare it to Napoleon: Total War What it does better - Way better morale simulation - More detailed damage simulation - More detailed crew simulation - Much better ship movement - Battles are not obvious and can be decided in any phase - It has complex and very good fleet management - it is really difficult and rewarding What it does worse: - It does not look as good - It has a slightly higher system requirements (Unity) - The pace is slower (it is not a disadvantage TBH) - There are land battles too. They are good but not as good as naval ones. They can't be skipped in Campaign mode Yes, it is currently the best game of this genere. Completely worth it

I would give this game a neutral review if i could. While the overall game is great, like the mechanics, the hybrid battles, the sea battles and the administration of your ships, the game has one big problem which is balance. Do notice i played on Normal mode both for Naval and Land warfare. One big thing that plagues the gameplay is the morale, which affects you twice as much as it affects your enemies. A lot of times enemy ships will be completely depleted of health and will be actively sinking, but the enemy will not surrender, while your ships will run away after taking just some light hull damage. It isn't much different in land battles, where your units will run for their lives after losing 2 units to artillery fire while the enemy can take over 7 shots and not care. The second big thing that plagues the game is how it gives the AI so much to work with. The story missions are linear (You can click a button which makes the enemy escalate their ships together with yours) and the delevopers really thought about every action the player would make and placed obstacles there. You want to flank an area? The developers have a couple of soldiers and artillery waiting for you. You brough 200 men? The Developers made sure the enemies would have double. You want your ships to assist your units on land? The developers made sure your cannons wouldn't be able to hit for just a couple of meters. Basically whenever you want to try something to change the course of the battle, the developers put something there to stop you, in conjunction with the terrible morale your units have in comparison to the enemy units, you cannot win that engagement. So like i said earlier, while the base of the game is great, the way you don't really have any freedom to change the course of the battles really kills it.
