Fleet Hunters // PressKIT

Pitch

Fleet Hunters™ turns classic grid-based naval battles into fast real-time duels where both fleets fire at once. Track down and destroy your opponent's hidden ships before they destroy yours.

Place your fleet, track your opponent, and fire as soon as your weapons are ready. Both players act at the same time, with a short cooldown between shots, turning every match into a tense back-and-forth.

Prefer the original pace? Classic mode brings back the turn-by-turn duel, with a twist: land a hit and you fire again, miss with everything and the turn passes.

Your grid on the left. Theirs on the right. Every hit, every miss, every clue is visible as it happens.

Description

Fleet Hunters™ reimagines the classic battleship duel in real time. Players deploy their ships on a grid and then fight simultaneously: shots are limited by a short cooldown rather than by turns, so both sides are always reading the board, picking targets, and firing the moment their weapons are ready.

The rules are easy to learn, but every match rewards careful deduction. Misses narrow the search, hits reveal patterns, and well-placed attacks can disable a ship's weapons before it is completely destroyed. Fleets are built from four ship classes: carriers, battleships, cruisers, and patrol boats, each with its own weaponry.

For players who grew up with the original, Classic mode offers a faithful turn-based duel with a modern rule set: take turns firing, earn an extra shot for every hit, and beat a 30-second turn clock. Both modes are playable solo against the computer and in matches with friends.

Fleet Hunters™ features single-player battles against the AI, ranked and casual online matchmaking with leaderboards and achievements, and private matches with friends over Steam or LAN, fully localized into 30 languages. Clean, retro-inspired 3D visuals with a top-down view keep every hit, miss, and clue easy to read.
