What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
--Gameplay: It's split between a tactile 2d ship-to-ship shooter of sorts, and a strategic screen where you control fleets that is best compared to a submarine simulator, albeit watered down.
I cannot stress how much sound design is important and this game, the sound, The SOUND!
Highfleet, in it's most quick summary, is a game that echoes many of the design choices and feelings of a 90's-2000's PC video game, but with all of the parts such as graphics and UX that would make it feel dated 'trimmed out' for modern gamers to enjoy to the fullest.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 3 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
