Fleet Battle Reviews

Look dude. I downloaded the FleetBattle , waited. Once it was done, clicked on FleetBattle you know to play it. Popped up glitch right back out. Didn't even see the main menu. That's how fast it was. So I clicked it again. Are you ready? Popped up glitch right back out I tried to do this multiple times, FleetBattle just don't even open! And don't even get me started on the wifi or internet bc I live literally in town pay my bills and and everything. I have wifi and internet, and a good one to! So don't even get me started on that. Soooo, I don't know what you want me to do? I'm not even going to give it a stare bc if I can't even open FleetBattle before it glitches out I can't rate FleetBattle! I mean if FleetBattle glitches right back out before I can even see anything after I click on it I can't rate it! Like I got nothing, when I click you know what I see! Ok so I click on it and as soon as I click on a gray screen quickly pops then closes right back, that's all I'm getting from FleetBattle. So I can't rate it if I'm getting nothing from FleetBattle, sorry. Wish I could rate it better. Bc I see all these other saying how good it is! Never gets boring! It's addictive! You guys did great! I love it! Great time killer!. And than here I'm thinking wow ok let me try it can't wait it must be good let's do this. And than FleetBattle does not even open. If I'm being honest I'm kinda bummed. But, I'm getting nothing from FleetBattle so. Can't even rate it.

I had been one to play several games a day, but since the latest upgrade, I lost all of my history and had to start over. I contacted the developer but got nothing. Also, ads (which I know get the developer money) actually partially blocks the screen. I have also informed the developer of that and they don’t seem to care. I guess ad money is more important than gameplay. All in all, it has the potential to be a great game, I know it was better BEFORE the upgrade. Now, the ads are more prolific. It might be worth a few dollars to eliminate ALL ads, but even if you pay to eliminate the ads, you still get the developers ads and they still block the screen. I don’t mind a few ads but come on, you have too many now.
The traditional, modern and Russial versions are great, but get rid of the computerized graphics. It really slows gameplay and is a data hog. The sound it makes sounds like the Iron Giant tapdancing. The developers took what was great, and in an attempt to make it better, broke it. I may delete.

The game is pretty fun but the advertisements are all for an app where young girls dance around without much clothing. Not what I want my 3 and 5 year old to see when we are sitting around on the couch. Looked up what FleetBattle was to see if I was misunderstanding and it is exactly what it seems like, a video chat that encourages kids to strip for strangers. Developers of fleet battle need to get a grip on their advertisers and not help promote this haven for predators.

Response to developer:
First of all, you and I have never talked via email. This is our first interaction but the folks who grew up playing battleship are now to the parenting age so the idea that only one person would take issue with the advertisement is a little naive. If there are “thousands and thousands of ad campaigns” I would think you would be more concerned that this ad is appearing so frequently in your game and not at all in other similar games (probably good information for a developer)
Just because the ad isn’t pornographic doesn’t mean it Isn’t suggestive and inappropriate. I don’t have the name of FleetBattle but I am sure you can easily find that out if you truly don’t already know. You’re correct, I did have a responsibility too, which I took seriously. I deleted FleetBattle and warned others via a review (which I would gladly change if you are sincere and follow up with Apple)

So I found out what classifies you as “Dishonorable” in this game. It has nothing to do with completing a game because I would complete the game until it said “Continue” at the bottom. As soon as you click that continue an advertisement begins. Once the advertisement is done you can select the option to close the ad or follow it. Once you close it you go back to the main screen.

I didn’t want to waste my time watching the same stupid ads after every game. So as soon as the ad began I would close FleetBattle and reopen it. It saved tons of time, but I learned that THIS made me become labeled as dishonorable. I even deleted my account and started fresh to find the same result. So there is no reason to use the Honorable Retreat flag if you know the game is over. Refusing to watch the stupid ads is what makes you dishonorable. FleetBattle developers told me once before that the honorable retreat flag prevented the dishonorable tag but that was a lie.

I was playing Battle Ship as a kid in the 60s. I played this three times and not sure how long I’ll last. The single biggest thing I want or don’t know how to find is: seeing my ships and seeing everything my opponent has done to me. I play against the computer for now so I can’t comment on how it plays against someone live. I have to tell you tho - as a kid I placed the pegs in my ships myself. I also tried to track just where my opponent was going with his shots. This is not part of the game from what I can tell. It flips to my ships boards when it’s the opponents turn real fast then is gone. Don’t like that. Not for me. Back in the day you saw two boards. Your ships and where you land on his side. Everything was called out. You inserted colored pegs your self. Maybe some of you are too young to remember that. I like knowing my ships board so I could tell what my opponent was doing and how close I was to losing. There is a piece of strategy missing in your game. And I want it. I need to toggle between two boards please.

You USED TO give us a choice to play a dishonorable match or not. Now we HAVE to play dishonorable whether we want to or not! Why? Why did you change this? When this first happened I closed down the game without even starting the match, and you lowered MY rating from most-honorable to honorable! So you punish me for not wanting to play cheaters and whatever is dishonorable about them. This game is loaded with cheaters. For example, one of my last few games I was about to win, I chose a wrong tile but that left me knowing what my last move should be to win. The opponent then went straight to the last 3 of my ships he hadn’t hit at all, one after another, bam bam bam without a miss or even any hesitation. He’d been floundering around to keep his most-honorable status. But with me having 1 more move he “found” and sunk all 3 of mine as fast as the game accepted hits. I wrote “cheater” to him. He didn’t deny it.

I really enjoy this game. I loved playing battleship with my family and now that I can play it and actually earn things as well makes it a lot more fun. However there are a lot of possibilities with this game, and here I’ll share a few of my ideas:
1. Making a 2v2 mode. I think this would be fun because if you have a friend you can work together. Make the play area twice the size and allow each player to have his full fleet. Then one team takes one turn for each player and then the other team and so on and so forth.
2. Squads or clans or whatever you want to call them. Then you can have a squad chat and be able to talk to and suggest ideas. Also maybe have squads compete against eachother.
3. Add new skins for ships. I kind of like the outline art you guys use but I also think some solid forms would be cool too but I understand if you want to keep your specific design but even then more skins with that design
4. Different hit animations. Be able to unlock new ones like a plane bombing a ship could be one. Or a big missile. Maybe just a huge pole coming out of the ocean and stabbing it that would be weird but cool. Preferably unlockable by playing like skins and not under a pay wall.

Those are my suggestions and I know you guys are a small team so I know doing all this is hard. But so far this is a great app, keep up the great work!

This is a great game and app. Very interesting format like the old game board classic, battle ship back in the 80s. However, there are too many cowards that figured it that if they disconnect before try lose in online multiplayer then they will not get a loss. I am assuming that these cowards are able to do this. I just had this happen five times in a row. Ad I know it is coming because they try to insult you too justify running away. So if this game were to penalize them and give them a loss, then it would be perfect. I have never quit so I am not sure if you can avoid a loss by doing so but if you can, that needs to be removed. Because there is nothing like beating these mental cowards that try to drop insults because they are losing

If you like battleship then this is the game to play it is the best game for battleship.
It’s really awesome basically just it’s two teams and and yourself versus the AI have ships that you start off with and then you get the blueprints that you can unlock new ships with and when you win the round if you find blueprints for ships you’ll get those blueprints. There are modes like hard standard and classic they’re all modes and you can also do ships are not allowed to touch or you could do ships are allowed to touch. It’s also very easy if you’re experienced in battleship so you have to do is set the other players so there’s an aircraft carrier a big battleship a cruiser a patrol boat a submarine and a destroyer.

I have been enjoying this game and then one day I noticed that a few of the ships that I had purchased with blueprints I earned were no longer part of my fleet. I saw that they wanted me to purchase them again. I contacted customer service and received a speedy response. He asked what kind of ship I was missing and after responding to that question I received a reply email within minutes. He gave me more blueprints on my account so that I could repurchase them! I couldn’t be happier with the game itself as well as the help I received!

This review comes after nearly a year of playing this game. This game will challenge you to rethink everything you think you know about battleship strategy. I personally didn’t like it after the initial easy beginning newbie matches because I was getting shredded by players left and right. I ended up messaging the admins for help and they came through big with some strategy ideas. After learning to implement the new ideas on play I still lose sometimes but now I hold my own and I am having a blast just as you will too! Do it! (Best Palpatine voice)

A friend of mine recommended this game to me, said we could play together. It took a minute to download and log into my account, but once I did things were quick and smooth. The background music is awesome, the sound effects are awesome, there is a voice that encourages and warns you (please don’t shoot the fish) and it’s really easy to chat with a friend while you play. The graphics are cool, a sunken battleship has its own hologram of it sinking, and when a ship is hit the explosions are super cool. Definitely worth downloading. Not many ads either, which is a blessing. Overall one of my new favorite games. Thank you to the awesome creators of this game!!

I am addicted! Almost embarrassing how many games I have played but I am thrilled to say I’m at about a 76% winning rate, not to brag.
My only complaint is that the game allows you to resign without getting it counted as a loss. I find this annoying because some people will resign as soon as they know they are losing. I don’t think that’s right.
Everything else about the game is terrific. Good job!

To your response- I think the honor system is a great idea. However, it would be great if it’s still ok to disconnect if the other player did so first (so you’re not stuck playing against the computer) or if the other player is ridiculously slow or inappropriate in a chat (it happened).

I think it was perfect even before this update, and I’m sure I’ll come to appreciate the new look. I am a bit disappointed to have lost my previous fleet though—style and colors. Would have saved it if given a heads up. Can you restore our old fleets or probably not?

Either way, brilliant game. Would recommend to anyone.

Update: Emailed support about this fairly minor issue, and they got it all straightened out in a day! Would’ve been happy even if they hadn’t solved it tbh, bc it was just an uncommonly delightful experience with app support. Really friendly and responsive. Encourage anyone with issues playing to contact them; they’re genuinely helpful. Seems like a great team behind a great game :)

I’ve had FleetBattle for quite some time now and it’s the only game I consistently play whenever I have time. It’s also my go-to time passer when I’m in the treadmill at the gym. Gameplay is exactly as it should be. It’s classic Battleship with cool graphics. The updates have just been making it better, including the new 3D views. The online mode has never failed to connect, and its pretty neat to play against people all around the world day or night. I did pay for the “ad free” version because, like all games, the ads can be annoying. (This is an overall app industry annoyance, not specific to this game.) Overall, this is the best game out there in my opinion.

Ready to lose hours of your life? I downloaded I think less than a week ago and can’t believe how many games I’ve played. I’m impressed with how well thought out the developers were in putting this together. I only play the quick match up rounds and was wondering if I were to meet up with the same player if I’d remember their name but when that finally happened (there a LOT of players) I saw the game showed our stats 5 vs 0. Unfortunately I was the 0 but I love the fact it retains so much statistical info! Very nostalgic from the game I played when young but this is better & easier! I know from reading many reviews and responses this is a very small crew building and maintaining this awesome app. Great work guys!

Best battleship game in FleetBattle Store

What I ❤️ about the game
1.) Ques to play against random people online or friends online is fast

2.) You can customize your avatar picture(Dev it would be neat if when we press the avatar portraits it gave us brief info about the ppl unless they’re fictional portraits)

3.) you can customize your frame for your avatar. Frames and avatars appear during match and VS screen so it’s cool to see

4.) there’s an honorable system which discourages and punishes people that are sore losers. Sometimes if you play the game through just cause you thought you were gonna loose you can actually win so don’t rage quit unless you want to loose merit and be a sore loser lol

5.) love that you can unlock and mix match your ships to the designs you like(Dev it be neat if you had some interesting facts about how each ship differs from the other counties)

Overall it’s an awesome converted battleship strategy game where the dev seems very active with updating the game

The only sad part is there’s ads but for 2.99 you can pay for no adds/ show support and if you do keep the ads sometimes it rewards you with the currency you need to unlock other custom ships so it all works out :p

The ads isn’t too crazy but they’re noticeable xD

First off. I really love battle ship. Like, love it. But most of my friends won’t play me anymore Bc I always win ;)
So I originally downloaded it to play my brother as a fun way to keep in touch with him.
My only criticism is that I can’t close FleetBattle while playing. I completely understand why you can’t do this if you’re playing a live game w/ someone online but it would be really cool if I could play my bro back and fourth w/ the ability to close out FleetBattle after each play. We have busy and somewhat opposite schedules and it makes it really hard to make sure we both stay on screen for the whole game. No sure if this is even possible as I haven't found any app that does this.
Otherwise, 10/10 rad game.
And I don’t see any *pornographic* *predatory* ads ;) (all adds are predatory but not in the way it was used here.)

When I was in my younger years I always wanted to play battleships the board game. And I was scrolling down FleetBattle Store I saw fleet battle. I was like ok, I checked the pictures of the game and immediately saw it was my favorite board game set up so I was extremely excited. I check the reviews some had 1 stars so I read through them and I jumped right into FleetBattle . Immediately I felt in love. Love at first sight, it is a 3D battleships game that you can Customize ships and get new modified ones! It does a lot of game modes and offline so if your on a plane it will work (I hope I haven’t been on a plane in a bit) Now everyone’s least favorite ads, don’t worry ads won’t frustrate you to much. All in all I have no complaints it’s just one rule…have fun. Don’t let the other 1 star reviews put down this masterpiece of a game. (Note to devs, Thank you for bringing back my childhood)

U guys do a great job at making sure no one cheats so with that being said ,can u do something about the people who use the stall tactic basically what it is, is that they will find about 2 or 3 of your ships an then let the clock run down too 1 then hit your ship an let the clock run back down too 1 an just keep repeating this process which makes for a very long match the point of this tactic is too get the player too quit because we all know facing the computer is much easier than a human opponent its like a guaranteed win they usually will do this if they get mad because you’re beating them by a mile, or find their patrol boat, or just because they want an easy win I never quit when they do this because I’m not going to give them the satisfaction but man this makes for an extremely long match I never write reviews but this one of my favorite games

My sister and I love doing what I’d call Family games together .
This is a great game that allows us to play fast fun games without having to set up the board game version ( getting lazy in my old age). It has cool different ships and colors for the ships plus ranks you go up the more you play. It also doesn’t cost to play ( Being retired that’s another nice feature) although eventually we will probably pay to have ads removed. Recently , at Christmas , we ran into a bug where my sister lost one hundred battles and the free ship after ten days of ten battles a day with me. She tried it again for another ten days and it happened again. The support department was very nice and responsive
In fixing the problem. We can’t thank them enough for their help. We both highly recommend this game .
