Description
--- "Captain Sonar" is a team-based submarine combat game emphasizing role division, communication, and strategy to locate and destroy the enemy sub before being sunk. Key mechanics include: - *Role specialization* Teams assign Captain (moves sub, announces maneuvers), Radio Operator (deciphers enemy position), Engineer (prepares torpedoes/mines). - *Team communication* Players must organize and coordinate closely as a crew. - *Play modes* Turn-by-turn or simultaneous actions, with opponents tracking each other. - *Attack resolution* Play pauses during launches to confirm hits, then resumes. - *Maps* Multiple included with varying difficulty levels. Captain Sonar is an intense, real-time team confrontation game where two teams control advanced submarines, aiming to locate and obliterate the enemy before suffering the same fate. Teams sit together, dividing labor into key roles—Captain for navigation and movement announcements, Radio Operator for eavesdropping and decoding opponent positions, and Engineer for weapon/munitions preparation—scaled by player count. Merciless gameplay demands seamless organization and communication, available in turn-by-turn or simultaneous modes where actions occur in parallel amid mutual surveillance. Attacks halt play momentarily for hit verification, potentially scattering wreckage or allowing evasion, across diverse difficulty maps. ---
