Lost Admiral Returns
Multiplayer |
Lost Admiral Returns is a turn-based naval strategy game by Fogstone, the creator of The Grandest Fleet, Lost Admiral 2, Lost Admiral, and Conquered Kingdoms.[1] The game has game play similar to rock paper scissors, except with ships [2]
Gameplay
The gameplay is very similar to chess, but with a much larger map, a wider variety of units, and a greater level of detail.[3] Combat uses a rock/paper/scissors system to determine outcomes. There are three phases of play during a turn: the navigation map, the battle map, and the end of turn overview. Ships on the navigation map can be identified by its corresponding image or hull classification symbol
Battleship
Carrier
Carriers are defensively weak fleet vessels with 7 hit points. They have 2 attack strength but all vessels nearby get an extra attack point due to fleet airplanes. The planes on board appear to be Douglas TBD Devastators. Carriers are extremely vulnerable to all vessels but the passive damage buff for nearby vessels and their extended sight range makes the carrier an essential element of any fleet.
Cruiser
Destroyer
Submarine
Submarines in Lost Admiral Returns are modeled after
Patrol Boat
Patrol boats are light and fast boats used for reconnaissance and transport raid. They deal only one point of damage, which is enough to sink a transport ship in one turn, but not enough to engage in a duel with an armored transport ship. They are armed with machineguns and are boosted greatly by the presence of a carrier.
