Misc Games, the developers behind the highly popular single-player commercial fishing franchises Fishing: Barents Sea and Fishing: North Atlantic, return with a brand-new title, Ships At Sea. This title features the multiplayer mode that fans have been eagerly awaiting.
Ships At Sea, the next generation of ship simulation, introduces service and cargo vessels for the first time, the most desired feature requested by our passionate fan base. Head out into the untamable Norwegian Sea with your friends and connect with players worldwide as you build your service, cargo and commercial fishing careers.
In addition to the highly detailed fishing, service and cargo ships with new gameplay features, we are proud to introduce a new water shader WaveWorks, in cooperation with NVIDIA. This technology provides a cinematic-quality ocean simulation. Moreover, we´ve overhauled the buoyancy system entirely and replaced it with a physically-based one, ensuring vessels of all sizes float realistically. Furthermore, a dynamic weather system enhances the immersion by simulating weather conditions such as rain, fog, lightning and storms.
Above all, Ships At Sea takes a significant step forward by allowing players to explore authentically recreated harbours in Lofoten, Norway. Visit shops to purchase tools or equipment, or head to the shipyard to upgrade, maintain and repair your vessels.
Like our previous games, Ships At Sea offers an atmospheric and realistic environment based on accurate maps, licensed ships, and equipment. With stunning graphics, Ships At Sea delivers striking, immersive visuals to provide the most profound ship simulation experience. Embark on this adventure and become a master of the seas!
