Avast, matey! Thar be high-seas mayhem ahead in Battlewake, a rip-roaring vehicular combat game exclusively for virtual reality. Become a mythical Pirate Lord, captain a massive battle-ready ship and wield ancient magics as you embark on a larger-than-life nautical war for the ages.
Battlewake is another fun experiment from the Survios labs, though sadly one that can often feel lost at sea. At first you'll revel in sinking ships and sailing the high seas, but the novelty soon wears off as you rinse and repeat the same swashbuckling gameplay loop.
With fantastic graphics, balanced and engaging gameplay, and a brief but fun single player campaign, Battlewake is an amazing VR pirate combat game. The only thing it doesn't have is a larger audience. My crew is ready, and it's time to set sail -- who's with me?!
Though a bit bare-boned, Battlewake will satisfy those looking for a solid VR seafaring adventure.
Battlewake can be a blast in small doses and is a good way show off the PSVR’s potential (unless the person you’re showing it is prone to seasickness).
Battlewake has solid and fun gameplay with excellent technical execution but lacks overall content. Additional updates could enhance its replayability.
