Game Description

Salvo! is a strategy-intense, single-player war game set late in the Age of Sail. The turn-based game is presented in 3D and graphics are designed to offer immediate visual feedback of ship conditions, freeing the player from constant statistical calculation and abstract analysis. Players can take command of British, French, or United States fleets, and win the seas through a series of cannonball battles in one of several available campaigns.
