Naval Craft Reviews

Ok so my friends and i have played bsc, wsc, and this game. This game has the most blocks, shapes, details, and the worst build mechanics. That's fact that you can't delete ships is a big problem considering you can get a idea then change your mind. Also the undo only works for removing object, if this was changed to include what was placed it would be more convenient to builders. Also while using the undo feature I experienced a game crash when I changed the propellers on the cruiser hull then undid them and it overlayed the propellers and my game crashed, now every time I turn on the game it loads goes to the customize screen and crashes. The accuracy also needs to be improved, it is unrealistically inaccurate and distance doesn't effect accuracy. I'm not complaining about the currency system but I would love to have the ability to get modern weapons from defeating modern ships( aka reword for defeating a modern ship is an emerald). I love the style of the game and detail incorporated into this game but until there is an update to fix crashing I literally can't play which is annoying while trying to have a build off with a friend. Also there are some missing blocks because while building ships you can't rotate the 5x2x1 hepta block the desired way. Any ways I hope this read by the Devs and I look forward to playing the game more

Good game still waiting for mk/38 to have anti air craft and anti ship to be more accurate as well a single 5in gun without housing to more accurate to Clemson class destroyers and ww2 us aircraft carriers like the York town , wasp and essex as well as dual 8in guns for the Lexington and Saratoga and possibly more updated aircraft ww2 air craft like f6f f4u corsairs Tbm avengers and the horrible helldiver to be place on essex classes and if possible please put in folding wings for the planes you already did it for the Achi bomber by the way why did you ad in stuck as the were never used in naval combat due to the fact Germans had no carriers also please I beg of you to ad in the option to delete ships again also I would like a mission that has any modern ships to have a chance to give emeralds and a refund feature that gives a full or 75% refund to what ever you sell ps .50 cals and f-35b along with harrier 2 would be useful for modern amphibious assault ships like the wasp(lhd-1)

I love to play this game out there are no fighters planes torpedo or jets or helicopters that cost gold so could you please add some also make it so the SH-60K flys higher over ships because I get annoyed when it starts to attack then runs into the enemy ship blowing up also can you make it so the planes with back gunners can fire to defend from enemy fighters and make it when a plane jet or helicopter crashes into a ship it deals damage to the ship also add like a ju87c with a torpedo as well and please add 40mm bofors and add those half circle sponsons but make it to where you can put like a anti aircraft gun it there also up the rate of fire for some aa guns and make it sit that they also target ships if no aircraft is in range also I feel like if you have more than one elevator planes should be able to use all because it annoying to have two elevators but planes only use one

Please make one fighter jet, helicopter, and elevator bought with coins not crystals. Another suggestion is that you can watch a video for crystals. My final suggestion is that modern ship missions have a chance to/give crystals. I hope you will make these changes in the future otherwise I will delete you app. It is unfair for players that don't want to spend real money to get these cool items. Also you can buy the helipad with coins but not the helicopter so whats the point. Also it bothers me that none of the non-modern fighter planes can't be bought unlike warship craft where one fighter plane can be bought with coins. Also you cant even delete a ship, really? And add a refund button for blocks! And why is basically almost ship that you can buy in the docks Japanese! Have you forgotten that the US has a navy too?!?!

It needs some serious balance issues because my win ratio for the 2nd level is about 1-15 I think that the ai needs to be nerfed so it’s not 50-50 chance to hit more like 10-90 which is wayyyy more realistic and more balanced there needs to be a flip option so when you spend 45 minutes making the perfect light cruiser spawn it for a test drive and realize you just spent 45 minutes of your life building a cruiser that won’t work cuz it’s backwards which could easily be fixed by you guessed it a flip tool and also maybe a copy/paste tool would be nice?
The modern stuff should not be emeralds and should just be really really expensive so it forces the players to either grind for hours or pay real money to get gold or make a level that’s really really extremely hard and give them 1 emerald or 100,000 gold for 1 emerald just make it so there’s a way to get emeralds other than paying REAL money

For detail-oriented people, this game has Warship Craft beat by lightyears. I've been a loyal fan for several years, and that's not changing.

Unlike Warship Craft, this game allows you to customize your ships down to the last catwalk. It's not perfect, but it's dang close. I'm working on a replica of the USS Texas with an uncanny resemblance to the real ship.

While Warship Craft receives minor updates fairly often, Naval Craft gets updated maybe once a year, but the updates pack a bunch of new features, so never lose hope for some nice new parts for your ships and some bug fixes.

----------

As usual, I like to leave some suggestions.

- US 3" Single Gun (2x1x1)
- US 5" Single Gun (3x1x1; no casing)
- US 14" Gun (flatter version of 36cm turret)
- Dual 40mm Bofors
- UK Carrier-Based Biplanes
- Seaplane Tracks for Seaplane Carriers
- Seaplane Fighters

- Ability to switch between Normal and AA modes on dual-purpose guns.
- Rebalances for certain statistically-identical parts.

----------

I should mention that the developers do listen to suggestions, especially via email. A while ago, I suggested several parts for US ships and older dreadnought battleships as well as an option to have AA guns fire automatically. The next update included many of the parts I suggested and the auto-AA function.

When you place blocks some don’t delete and guns aim is just stupid. You should have a aiming tool that comes with the game for like 60 or 290 coins. And also can ships like break in half. Please change. Can everything in the game please be free. So people can design ships and use them on missions. Even the Ships that are already made like Mogami or Yamato. Please make everything be free. I think you should make like Yamato or other legendary ships keep the price, but a tad bit lower. I take this game as a game where you design warship and it’s parts for FREE and you can test them on missions to make coins to unlock legendary ships. And there should more coins on each level. Like the mission single destroyer should have 200 coins. Please make an update with my ideas and love your game very very very very much. 😃😃😃😃😃😃

Updated review as of April 2018.

The last update as of writing this review was almost 2 years ago... the devs seem to have abandoned this game...

I'm changing my review to one star because of major issues with the game, like no cloud backup, among others...

The game has promise, but it seems the devs have given up... a real shame...

What a waste of time and money...

Original review:

Over all its a pretty decent game. Being able to use more than one ship at a time for missions is a big plus, you can switch between the two fairly easily. However, the missions are very difficult, and pay out bare bones amount of cash. It makes it a VERY grindy game, to the point where it pretty much forces you to spend real money. (there is a major flaw with that btw)

The shooting mechanics are decent but need some refinement, even with radar and range finders, your shots seem to go all over the place... makes the missions even harder.

Now...my biggest gripe with this game, that even Warship craft got right...

THERE IS NO INFO BACK UP OR RESTORE PURCHASES IN THIS GAME.

If you plan on spending real money on this game, dont. If for some reason you have to re-download and install it, or you change devices, you will lose all of your progress. Everything will be gone.

This is why it has three stars. Devs, if you want more stars and a better review, add info back up and restore purchases, otherwise, you'll be stealing people's money.

Now I know that the last update was 4 years ago, but I still want to write this seeing I think it really needs to be in the game. There should be some way to get emeralds, like doing the three battleships one, or something. It would also be nice if we could get more planes, by that, I mean taking a torpedo bomber off the emerald list. Because having just bombers, and they sometimes miss, torpedo bombers to finish off the job would be nice. It would also be nice if you were to review the building system, because sometimes, blocks get glitched. I would also like to ask if you could make a question asking “do you want to build this?” I know it’s a bit much, and it probably won’t happen, but eh, it’s a good game, and I want to see it expand more.

This is an amazing game i love the fact that you can build your own submarine or a super battleship and that they have included modern weapons and aircraft. However, i do have some problems.... the ship parts are a bit pricey and the missions don’t give you enough money to help you get off your feet at the beginning of the game! It took me at least 5 hours to be able to build an actual battleship. Some of the begging missions( single destroyer, single light cruiser, etc.) rewards could be raised a bit. Also you could add a feature that allows you to watch videos and receive rewards in coins or crystals. If at least one of these features are added this game will be over the top, definitely 5 star worthy.

I bought this game about a month ago and i can already beat the aegis destroyer. All you need to do is make your own ships in this game and you will be successful. It has more parts than warship craft and more game mechanics which keeps me interested in it. When I first started playing I made three different small destroyer bodies and added the cheapest weapons to them so i could do triple destroyers. If you grind that mission you'll earn enough money to buy a bigger gun and ship really soon.

P.S. Ignore the comments that say it's hard to earn cash because they just don't know how to play. I challenge you to better my completion in time of this game. See you on the high seas.

This game is the best of the three craft games. To me, it was the easiest to grind and the physics, aesthetics, and gameplay were far superior to any other. It also has a huge pay to win element but not as bad as warship craft. However the one game breaking glitch is the propeller hull merge glitch and it crashes on start and when the initial glitch happens. It endlessly loops in crashing and startup and you lose all your progress. So unless you want to lose everything like me and a few others did, don't mess with the propellers. Also if the devs patch this glitch, which they probably wont, then you just singlehandedly killed your game.

This is a very fun game to play. I love the realism and the variety of parts to use. The graphics are great and the challenge is there. This game is a total step up from Warship Craft.

I have two major gripes though:
1. Emeralds
It's a bad idea to have a buy-only currency. It will drive so many people away from your game and thus reduce your profits. What you should do is add the ability to get emeralds, but at a very slow pace, something like difficult challenges or a superboss ship. That way, people who have low income or little cash on hand can enjoy the full experience of the game rather than those who have a lot of money to spend.

2. Dock
The dock can very easily get cluttered with discarded ships and unfinished projects. You should really add a delete or a sell ship ability, allowing us to sell the hull of a ship for a small fraction of the collective value of the parts. Its a good way to get rid of ships you no longer need but still get something from it.

Other than this, this game is great! Keep up the good work!

This game is so fun I love the physics, the detail on the ships in levels, the game has multiplayer and the ability to custom make or redesign any ship you want to. Now the bad news this game it’s not up to date and some parts incorrect about the info like the f35 it has stealth capability and is more advanced than the f22. Their is also new missile turrets in the real world the RAM and Seasparrow can those please be added. Also can there be an emerald reward for beating modern carrier battle group. This game would be amazing if there were more uk planes in the game. That is all of my feedback thank you for your time and I hope to see this added.

As I said, this game is very cool and realistic. It allows much more than Warship or Battleship Craft, but also has some flaws. The armor in this is somewhat weak compared to normal hull strength, and there are flaws with the editor’s undo option, being only able to undo delete and move actions. Also, too many parts aren’t free, which is somewhat annoying, but understandable. However, at least the older counterparts of those aforementioned weapons should be added which could be bought with in-game money (e.g. a Cold War era twin launcher for the VLS and harpoon missiles, and biplanes for the fighters and torpedo bombers from WW2).

This is a amazing game, honestly, but I really do hate having to pay for the emeralds to get the new weaponry or aircraft, I would absolutely love if you could add a sell button which would give you a full refund on whatever you bought and use it for other weapons or aircraft, or you could add a super ship, like a boss battle type ship, that if you manage to defeat you get 1 emerald, these additions plus a ship deletion button would make the game a lot better for more players, but this game overall is quite fantastic and I play it whenever I get the chance

Please read this devs, the review section has really good ideas to make the game better

This is an incredibly fun game that beats every other free game of its genera and play style. However, after playing for a few weeks, I have experienced crashes within 1 second of opening NavalCraft with unwavering consistency. All menu buttons are grey and unclickable after pressing start, followed by an immediate crash. I checked for updates about this, but found none. Please patch if able. I am eager to create a covid19 ship so I can sink it repeatedly. I hope all is well at the development studio.

But there are two problems I would like to address one is that I this game on my iPhone 6 and on one of my ships I have rockets ,guns, phalanx ,aircraft, and the buttons go across the screen to where I can't tap the missiles to turn them off because the rocket label is where the speed control is
Second problem is that the phalanx does not work at all unless used manually and I didn't get them to sit there and do nothing they don't shoot down rockets like their supposed to
Thanks for your time and hope you can fix these problems
Thank you.

This is a great game, the idea that you can make any ship you want is great, I have made some really cool ships. I once had a problem with the add delete then redeu glitch that randomly closes your game. But I fixed it by acting like it was a normal piece by adding color and tapping on it and just tapping on the piece to try and delete it. And that tricked the programming into recognizing that it was a real piece. So if you have had any trouble with that. I hope this helps. So this is probably one of my favorite games, but I hope the devs update this and add new ships and parts to it. Plzzz do😀

I loved this game ever since I got it for the first time I have made some purchases that I didn't regret unlike warship craft I have a fleet ready to take on anything and if all my ships were combined I would have a large ship with many aircraft a lot of AA guns many large turrets the ones that cost 8400 like at least more then 20 have a large number of engines specifically aircraft carriers because they offer and large speed to weight ratio along with a few missiles 6 phalanx a lot of armor and other things I forgot
