NavalArt

NavalArt is a sandbox game about designing, building and commanding warships. You take on the roles of designer, engineer and commander, guiding fleets through the ages of steel and nerve. The game combines ship construction, physics and combat across different stages.

Design and test ships

Build warships in the dock from parts provided by the game or the modding community. You can adjust their design in detail, from the hull to the smallest anchor chain, modify existing ships or start from scratch. Armor and weapon layouts affect each ship’s properties, and you can take unfinished or completed designs to trials to test them.

Battles and missions

Quick Battles and Operations let you use weapons spanning the 19th to the 21st century, including naval guns, torpedoes, carrier-based aircraft and missiles. Complete missions and defeat enemy forces, or test your anti-air defenses, including Phalanx CIWS, against waves of air strikes.

Aircraft carrier gameplay uses an RTS-style system in which altitude is a key resource for aircraft. Configure squadrons, assign specializations, seek air superiority and launch strikes against enemy fleets. The game also includes submarine mechanics and anti-submarine systems.

Modes and multiplayer

NavalArt includes Career Mode, Quick Battle Mode, Mission Stage Mode and Gallery Mode. In Gallery Mode, you can walk around your ships as a sailor, line up your fleet and view the parade from your flagship. Steam-based multiplayer supports battles and co-op stages.

Ships and conditions

The game features thousands of historic equipment parts, from ironclads to modern-era weapons, as well as a large collection of preset ships. Battles take place across numerous stages and sea conditions, with real-time physics that includes waves, an underwater view and a day-night cycle. Fog, heavy rain and snow can affect the conditions at sea.

Mods and mission tools

You can use mods and designs from the Steam Workshop, including thousands of warship designs and additional parts. The game also includes an experimental Mission Editor.
