Details here.

I can vouch for this, I got a chance to test the game on my kindle and the 7" screen really elevates this game.

Isn't Kindle for reading books?

CCIP · 04-17-14, 10:54 PM

Originally yes, but it's developed into a full-fledged tablet range running a custom version of Android, built mainly around Amazon's apps/app store.

Banzai! Banzai! Great news.

It's a game that's designed specifically with tablets/phones in mind for interface and gameplay. I don't think it'd be a particularly great game on the PC - it's designed to be relatively simple and fun for short sessions, not for long immersive play that you'd expect on the PC. I think it's much better where it is - no reason to invite comparisons that wouldn't be in its favour. It's the same as trying to take a board game or a card game and put it on the PC - it might be a lot of fun at the table with friends, but not so much on the PC, where you'd probably expect more of a simulation and complain that it doesn't compare well to what you know.

And money-wise, hardly a big scheme where it costs pennies compared to either PC or board games.

My 2cents worth.
What a fun,yet simple game. I did my first carrier battle, re-enactment of Midway

. I love the animation and sound in the game, very well done.
The catastrophic hit are cool.

The only down side in my opinion, no Japanese subs.

Is this for regular kindle or just the fire kindle?

Killerfish Games · 04-28-14, 10:07 AM

It should work on all Kindles with the exception of the 1st gen models.

nikimcbee · 06-12-14, 12:08 PM

I just finished the Japanese campaign

.

The Yamato is a one ship wrecking ball

.

Yamato with radar is unstoppable.

The only time I've beaten it was with 3 ACs, but BB vs BB, Yamato has never lost.

I wish this game had multiplayer

It has: If you have a mate around, you can play head to head on the same phone through the single battle mode.
